As per the flow of sentence, the reality show seeks to show routine/non-extravagant side of the stars (for eg. daily chores)
Quotidian and Mundane are the best fit here.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Quotidian, mundane.
The show "claimed to display the $\qquad$ side of the starlet's life," but those claims cannot be true because "her daily endeavors were far too sensational." The blank needs to say something along the lines of "unsensational." The pair "unusual" and "exotic" means the opposite. "Plastic" has many meanings, none of which apply very well here, and it doesn't have a pair. Finally, when down to "predictable," "quotidian," and "mundane," choose the best pair. "Predictable" is a near miss here. It doesn't necessarily mean "unsensational" because things could be predictably sensational. "Quotidian" means unsensational, everyday, or ordinary, just like "mundane," so these are the best answer choices.
