This week in reality TV: Oct. 14 to 20
Dear newsletter friends,
Good Monday morning!
This past Friday was National Coming Out Day, and to paraphrase something I posted then on social media, I'm grateful to all the reality TV stars who bravely come out on national TV, from Lance Loud in the 1970s to the cast of Are You The One earlier this year.
Those who did so in the 1990s allowed me to see people being their authentic selves long before I was able to do that, and that meant a lot. So, thank you!
Thanks, too, to all the people willing to put themselves on TV—and put their lives into the hands of editors and producers—to provide us with entertainment and, often, an education.
That sounds like a segue, so let's get to our weekly look at reality shows, documentaries, and nonfiction specials that are premiering this week.
