Reality TV shows have become increasingly popular in Kenya in recent years, with many viewers tuning in to watch their favourite celebrities navigate their personal and professional lives.
While some shows have been criticised for promoting negative values, others have been praised for their ability to connect with audiences and give them an inside look into the lives of Kenya’s elite.
In this article, we will take a closer look at some of Kenya’s most popular reality TV shows and how they have evolved over time.
Omo pick a box
“Omo Pick a Box” is regarded as one of the earliest reality TV shows in Kenya. Hosted by Regina Re, the show entertained audiences for many years with its simple premise:
Contestants were given a chance to win various prizes by choosing either money or a box which contained prizes. They had to choose wisely to ensure that they win something valuable.
However, some boxes contained “booby prizes” which means that the contestant would not receive a prize at all. The show was a massive hit, and it paved the way for other reality TV shows.
