Reality TV is not a self-contained genre, but rather occupies an intergeneric space between many different genres and platforms. This chapter analyzes the issue of performance across the intergeneric spaces of reality TV. The performance modes of reality TV are multifaceted in the sense that traditionally distinct groups of creative producers, participants/performers, and audiences become interconnected within the intergeneric spaces of the genre. The idea of performance that is the basis of the research on audiences extends the notion of performer-audience interaction in theater to everyday life. The chapter argues that perhaps more than any other academic study, performance of selves is a metatext for reality TV. From the early days of research in this genre, scholars have highlighted the ways reality TV captures on camera the banality of everyday life and the ways audiences engage with the individual and collective performances of people caught on camera.
