Just the Gist

Reality TV is a global phenomenon. But.. what if we told you it kinda started in Sydney suburbia in the 90s.

In this special branded episode - in partnership with Paramount + - we're giving you just the gist of reality TV; from the first show Sylvania Waters in the 90s, to the worldwide phenomenon in Big Brother, then the 00s hits with The Osbournes, Paris Hilton in the Simple Life, The Kardashians and now in 2023 the next big hit could well be - The Family Stallone.
