I was just reading about AR on Wikipedia. I did not know that when they get to the ticket agent they initially buy tickets for 4 (them + 2 audio/visual crew) and then the scene is re-shot showing them ordering tickets for only 2.
What if reality shows were really real and we, the audience could handle it. What if we just could accept that the teams are traveling with a crew and that is why we see them buying extra tickets and making room for them in taxis, on buses, planes, etc. Would that be so hard to handle or would it upset our imagination so much as to ruin the reality shows?

LOL....like we all didn't know that was happening...sometimes in a rearview mirror in the car you can see the film crew...the horror!

I knew they had crews with them. I did not think they had to order their tickets. I guess I thought the show took care of that. I do know how when the crews are in your home such as Wife Swap it is possible to get used to them enough to act anywhere near normal.

Makes you think. Just what is portrayed as real.
PBS has a short series where they put a modern family in a turn of the century house. In the into they said they turned to different sources to make it authentic. They noted that one source they used was magazines of the day. Then they said do you live like people depicted in current magazines? Well. No. I don't and I don't personally know anybody who does. Believe me come in here and take pics of my place and you won't sell too many magazines. Yet in 100 years some sap might assume I lived like Better Homes & Gardens.

Hollywood and history is mostly fantasy.

I was just reading about AR on Wikipedia. I did not know that when they get to the ticket agent they initially buy tickets for 4 (them + 2 audio/visual crew) and then the scene is re-shot showing them ordering tickets for only 2. Only one video/sound crew permitted per flight, due to airline restrictions. And apparently, it's quite interesting how different airlines treat it. Some require signed releases from anyone in the shot (and are thus not 'favored' airlines for the show.)
But yeah, the video guy gets the front seat of the taxi, the sound guy on the passenger rear, and between all their rigging, the racers get to have a slot where one should be sitting. It's why a lot of racers prefer to take vans when they can, and 'share' the ride, because again, it's only one video/sound crew that travels in such situations, and you can sometimes get away from annoying crew.
It's also interesting how many racers abide by the full contract and don't get into production details. I'd have screamed bloody murder during the family edition - time and time again, crew blew electronic systems, drained batteries, and apparently, acted like slobs. (good union film crews..)
