Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze women’s image in Polish Reality TV, using Michel Foucault’s category of biopolitics and Marxian and Marxist thought. Text contains three chapters. Firstly, authors are describing show Superniania (Supernanny) and depiction of biopower in an area of reproduction. Then, two dating shows, Hotel Paradise (Paradise Hotel) and Love Island. Wyspa Miłości (Love Island), are crucial in understanding important issues of sex and love. Last chapter is devoted to the show Damy i wieśniaczki (Ladies and Peasant Women), especially in a class context of biopower over women.
