It's certainly not reality. Stuff like the Osbournes and the Anna Nicole show are just babies in the reality TV world. Actually I read in a magazine that some of the incidents in the Osbournes (I've never watched it myself) were staged and scripted.
And even taking out the possible staging and scripting factor from reality shows, there's still not much reality in it; mostly because practically every single person will act differently with a camera nearby than they would without one. Whether they're trying to make themselves look better or look like a caricature, cameras will always have some sort of effect on their behaviour; even if it's only something minor as keeping a nose-picking addiction under control.
