A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.

Reality TV. It's everywhere. But where did it come from, why is there so much of it, and why does it provoke such extreme and contrary responses?
This book explores its local and overseas origins and delves into the vast range of reality shows, from docusoaps to dating shows, makeovers to game shows and beyond. Along the way we meet those involved - the creators, the comperes, the critics and the numberless participants attracted by the chance of a prize, the hope of a better life and, above all, fame, however fleeting.
From the addictively entertaining to the spectacuarly tasteless (far from mutually exclusive categories), reality TV has had its highlights and lowlifes. TV Land relives them all. It also looks at the ways reality shows have affected popular culture, from inspiring great comedy series like Kath & Kim and The Office, to helping shape the language we use. Wherever you go in the world, chances are Big Brother is watching, and you will probably be watching him.
