Reality TV is scripted.
I recall a “reality” show that was on a number of years ago about these guys (and gals) who repossessed cars. In every episode, there would be a confrontation, some approaching violence, between the repo guys and the poor sap who failed to make payments. It seemed very suspicious to me at the time. I later read that the entire show was scripted and, essentially, fake.
i watched alaska gold show, and they had two peeps on there that ‘got into a fight’ at a bar- the one fella took a glass, punched it towards the face of the other fella, and you could clearly hear glass break as though it smashed i nthe fella’s face- I thought “Nope- that didn’t just happen”, so i rewound it, and went frame by frame, and sure enough the glass never broke, and the punch never even ame close to the other fella’s face- i went frame by frame through all the ‘punches’ and NONE of them even came close to connecting- but because of the camera angles, and fast movements, it looked like they were-
I also noted that noone got arrested either after the ‘fight’ in today’s age- fights end up in arrests, especially if they were viewed on TV because the evince is right there-
So i went on the homepage of the show- signed yup and pointed out that the sound effects were fake without revealing that i had gone through it frame by frame— The producers or whoever vehemently denied it- then i said “Stop the nonsense- i went through it frame by frame- the show is faked- scripted- The glass never broke, but you folks dubbed in a breaking glass sound to make i t appear that the fella smashed it in vernon’s face-”
They didn’t like hearing that at all- and stopped responding-
Also note how when ‘accidents’ happen, there is always the right camera angle to catch it all- with the cameras mounted in weird odd places, like right next to the drive shaft to show it bending, or some other such weird spot where an ‘accident’ just happens to happen on cue-
Even on shows like the gator hunters- they will show soemoen ‘falling i n the water’, then the scary music will start, and they show a gator swimming like it’s headed right for the person i n the water only problem is the two scenes are completely different- like one shot the water will be mud brown, and completely still, while the gator is swimming in what is a clear river water-
lots of nonsense like that happens in these ‘reality’ shows-
