How many cameras are used on reality shows?
All the reality shows use different complements of cameras, depending on how big their shooting area is. Big Brother is a house that's wired with a whole bunch of cameras and some of them are robotic and fixed and things like that. The Amazing Race, when they started out with eleven teams, they have eleven cameras crews plus five or six more everyday to pick up wider shots. There are never less than two cameras and the sky's the limit. It depends on the budget of the show, but having six cameras is not unusual.
