What reality TV stars looked like in the 2000s, then vs. vs now
The reality TV stars who got us hooked on the genre are all in very different places in their lives today.
Like many kids of the ’80s and’ 90s, I grew up in sitcoms and TV movies.
My most intense TV entertainment came from talk shows and soap operas / telenovelas.
I had no idea reality TV would show up and take over my teenage years.
Before we knew it, reality TV was everywhere and we watched it every minute.
