Got it, Survivor and The Amazing Race, not reality shows.

Actually, Amazing Race is less of a "reality show" than Survivor, but there's nothing "real" about either of them.

I don't consider contest shows (like AGT) reality TV. Don't really consider Top Gear or Grand Tour reality.

I used to watch "Ice Road Truckers" and "Deadliest Catch" as well as a few car build shows until I figured out just how contrived they are and couldn't take it any longer. Now about the only car shows I watch are Jay Leno's Garage, Top Gear, and Chasing Classic Cars.

Shows where everyone is always in conflict or in danger of screwing up, or the boss is always yelling, I no longer have time for. Even shows like Fast N' Loud where at least at the end they've built something is no longer in my tolerance zone.

Other reality shows where it's a bunch of "friends and relatives" that are always on the verge of killing/cheating/beating/yelling/screaming at each other is not even close to reality. No group of people would really tolerate that crap. Same for Survivor type shows. Most of the "contestants" couldn't survive their way out of an office building.
I agree with you completely. However, I do have one sinful pleasure, The Curse of Oak Island. I don't get the channel it's on because I refuse to pay my provider for the bundle it's in. But, several times a year we get weeks of "Free Previews." I think I've watched most episodes from 5 out of the 9 seasons. Enough that I'm missing it, BIG time. My father was a treasure hunter and loved the story/myth of Oak Island. Plus, it's Canadian, eh!
Yes it's scripted and poorly acted but they are really doing what they say they are. I've learned things that my father didn't know and I wish he was alive today so that I could share it with him.
