Supermarket Sweep was a game show themed around grocery shopping, not a reality TV show.
Unless we're calling game shows reality TV now in which case I'll be very sad.
Never seen it, don't think it ever aired in Australia so I'll take your word for it. I would personally lump game shows in with reality TV just for the fact that the shows aren't scripted and the people on them are usually average joes and not playing a role
One could argue that game shows are less scripted than reality TV. They tried unscripted reality TV and found out just filming normal people doesn't drive ratings, so they have a ton of producers inventing drama.
I'd agree with you there!
If you haven't seen it already, the scripted drama Unreal was fantastic.
