reality vs docu-soap

Somebody should edit Wikipedia on Reality television. In Wikipedia reality shows and docu-soaps are synonyms. Reality shows and docu-soaps are not quite the same thing however. Docu-soaps follow people in some kind of "natural" situation (whether "real people" working at the airport, the hospital or whereever, the everyday life of the Osbournes or the post-honeymoon days of Jessica S and her husband), whereas reality shows are much more constructed and experiment-like. I'd edit, but I won't have time today...
