Reality shows encourage distancing yourself from others. They allow the viewer to gloat over problems that they themselves have. The makers of the programs squeeze real people into a format until they look like animals in a zoo, and the zoo keepers can inform the viewer about their habits. But nobody knows! Real life is not something you can win. I paint stills to lift them from the format, and give them back their mystery.
