Tips on Developing a Non Scripted show?

I was just curious if anyone here has had any experience with unscripted/reality style shows?

I am currently working on a pitch for a unscripted travel style show and was wondering if anyone here has had experience with that style of production?

What is some must have information to put in the pitch? Some Do's and Don'ts.

Any information is helpful!

Thanks!

Most unscripted pitches come down to two things - Is the concept interesting/different enough and are the hosts (in this case) someone an audience is going to want to live with episode to episode.

One other thing with reality...If you can afford to make a sizzle reel, do so.

Characters are key here - personalities and conflict trump subject.
