Includes bibliography. / I argue against an outright dismissal of so-called reality shows as unreal television set-ups by interrogating how so-colled realness is performed within the context of Big Brother 2, a reality-based game show. Research is conducted on the production set in Randburg, Johannesburg, over a period of seven weeks. A variety of research methods participant observation, semi-structured interviews, informal conversations-and informants-are employed.
