I miss good Dominican-made reality tv. I just do. Dominican reality tv needs to make a comeback, and it must come back ASAP! That being said, we had a short-lived renaissance from 2018 and 2022, where we had Dominicana\u2019s Got Talent, MasterChef, and The Voice at around the same time, and across two of our major networks was cute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Dominican Republic needs to go back to producing local reality shows, and not the raggedy (yes, we have to use that word) attempts we get to see from online platforms. And Alofoke<\/a>, Carlos Dur\u00e1n<\/a>, El Ma\u00f1anero con Boli<\/a>, Luinny Corpor\u00e1n<\/a><\/strong>, and each of their casts can\u2019t be the ones dictating our gossip shows. It\u2019s messy and in the end becomes stale and boring, which is happening by 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very embarrassing that foreign companies are obsessed with producing formats such as Exatlon<\/em>, Temptation Island,<\/em> or Survivor in our beautiful landscapes, but the locals can\u2019t get an ounce of what is made here. This country has plenty of thirsty people eager to expose themselves and participate in these shenanigans just to get their 15 minutes of fame and clout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also have a plethora of drama, gossip, and entertainment radio shows, TV shows, and YouTube channels eager to have some of their content provided by any locally produced reality show. Like, we have shows from Esto No Es Radio<\/a><\/strong>, to La Formula<\/a><\/strong>, to Adonis TV Show<\/a><\/strong>, to a whole bunch of YouTube channels and radio shows that cover entertainment and drama channels online. Yes, we might be a \u201csmall market\u201d for the TV greats, and I get it, but damn, we can\u2019t be so shy away from what the world already does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
