While I was reading an article in the New York Times, I was able to see that the rapid increase in reality television is due (for the most part) to the hit that the American economy has recently taken. The television stations have a more limited to budget and reality television shows last a full season and require absolute no talent at all. For a station to have any show besides reality television they would need to invest in actors, multiple sets, make-up consultants, etc. When a reality show is produced, there is no need for those expenses. It saves the companies enormous amounts of money and is just as entertaining, if not more, than scripted shows.
