        In this type of reality show, contestants try to win a prize. The prize is often money or, in some cases, a job. Each week, one person leaves the show until there is only one - the winner. Sometimes the contestants vote on who stays or goes, sometimes the TV viewer at home vote, and other times the show's judges choose. One example is Top Chef. In this show, contestants cook dishes for the host and the three judges. The winner usually receives money, a trip, and an article in a food magazine.

Some of these shows are about people on the job, such as police officers, firefighters, or hospital workers. Others are about regular people in unusual situations, and some even follow famous people. One example of this type was The Osbournes. This show was about the daily life of British singer Ozzy Osbourne and his family. In these types of shows, there is no prize money and no winner.

VALERIE: You think so? I don't really agree. I didn't like it.
YOUNG-HO: Valerie, do you have a favorite TV show?
VALERIE: You mean in Australia? Hmm... oh, I love Australia's Next Top Model. Do you know it? It's a reality show.
CLAUDIA: We have something like that in Brazil. It's very popular.
VALERIE: My favorite thing about it is the ending. At the end of each show, the judges choose one model, and she goes home. Sometimes I only watch the ending! I even watch the reruns. Young-ho, what's your favorite show in Korea?
YOUNG-HO: Let's see. There's a Korean show called Damo. It's a drama. It takes place during the Joseon Period. But it's not on anymore. My favorite thing about it is the costumes. Yeah, the clothes are very cool.
VALERIE: OK, Claudia, your turn. Tell us about TV in Brazil. What's your favorite TV show?
CLAUDIA: Well, there is one show that I like to watch. It's kind of embarrassing. It's a soap opera called Malhação. It's really for teenagers.
YOUNG-HO: So why do you watch it?
CLAUDIA: I don't know, I just love the stories. That's probably my favorite thing. It's funny. You watch one show and then you can't stop.
