huuuum, that's not so. People change their behavior in the very beginning. Then, they simply get used to the cameras and learn to completely ignore them.

Reality television was originally developed as low-budget programming. When it became a hit, as far back as COPS ans Real World, networks starting realizing there was more to development than comedy and drama. We saw a surge from 1994 to now, but it is beginning to taiper off.
It was all, and is all, a cheaper way to fill network airtime since you are not paying talent or writers and the crew is significantly less.
As far as their behavior changing in front of the camera? It is what the producers are banking on. People are at their most stupid, dramatic, etc when they know they are being filmed!

As with every situation, example being relationships you may start out trying to be good but sooner than later the bad in you comes out . In their case the cameras are there to catch the true colors of the person.

there is no script, no adlibbing, no plot to the situation the people are in.they are thrown into a surprising situation in which they are lest prepared, just like real life. thats why the reality show stars are so confused by the situation that they forget that there is a camera and that they have to "act' differrently.

This is a very good question. But remember, they are most likely professionals... so they probably have learned to ignore and not look at the camera completely.
