They all fall under the "Reality" banner because, unlike sitcoms or police procedurals, they're unscripted (at least in theory). The www.televisionwithoutpity.com website makes a useful distinction by categorizing shows as "Competitive Reality", "How-To Reality", or "Candid Reality".
Besides, "Reality TV" sounds sexier than "documentary" or "game show".
