Appeared towards the end of the last century, reality shows soon became a success, since they combine in themselves a low cost of production with the great interest they arouse in the public.

Under the slogan "life itself " and the appeal of ordinary people, for the first time on home screens, programs such as Big Brother or Robinson Expedition put the private life of their contestants in the spotlights, while subjecting them to extreme conditions and numerous outrages to gain audience.

Neither workers nor TV stars, participants "sell" their miseries, retaining just a few rights. Battered, isolated and defamed, the selected endure everything in order to achieve the promised prize and fame. Fame whose benefits have given way since the beginning.

Keywords : Reality shows; physical violence; symbolic violence; personal rights; Big Brother; panoptic.
