There’s no better way to unwind at the end of a long day of work than binging on reality TV.

From The Block, to Celebrity Treasure Island, Kiwis have always had a soft spot for the genre. Right now, the country is obsessed with Married at First Sight New Zealand, back for its fourth season after a five year hiatus.

And while we may still be mad about the genre, a lot has changed for reality TV since the local version of the international hit debuted in 2017.

Today on The Front Page, AUT University senior communications lecturer, Rebecca Trelease, joins us to discuss our MAFS obsession, and the changing world of reality TV.
