Everyone wants to make it big on reality TV. But it is easier said than done. Making your mark on a reality show can come in many ways; sometimes, you're the hero or the villain, without even realizing it. At best, all you can do is be your authentic self and hope that it's what resonates with the audience. Coming off as fake can be a major turn-off, so it is vital to be true to who you are. However, with the cameras on you all the time, it is easy to crack under the pressure of it all at every waking moment. But what if you were in a situation where you didn't know you were being watched? Would it bring out the best version of you? Or will the audience be privy to a darker side?

Enter 'Insiders', a Spanish reality show where contestants aren't aware they are on TV quite yet. This new format is all set to switch up reality TV as we know it! If you're looking for other reality shows to check out, you might want to consider -- 'Big Brother', 'The Challenge', 'Survivor' and 'Floribama Shore
