It wasn’t “her” Alaska reality show, it was the network’s show.
The network expects to profit from those shows, so it mixes in other elements.
Of course you didn’t know that...

Of course it was her show—created for her and she made money from it. And no, of course as well she herself didn’t produce and run the whole thing.
Of course it was the networks show, but it was Sarah Palin’s name on the show, who happened to be a former governor, a one time vice presidential candidate and a person aspiring to be POTUS. I think she could have done better than Kate plus eight........Do not tell me she didn’t have control of the integrity of the show and if she didn’t protect her name contractually then she was stupid or greedy, you pick.
