Like many popular reality shows, the main entertaining crutch behind “Dance Moms” is the drama and confrontations.
In 2015, Maddie Ziegler revealed that the production basically set it up so that everyone was always mad and yelling at each other.
MasterChef USA
Whether or not "MasterChef", or any show involving Gordon Ramsay is real, everyone watches these shows to see the notorious chef yelling at people and inventing creative expletives.
It’s still worth mentioning that, Ben Starr, a former participant, wrote a long blog post claiming that the entire behavior of the cast is fake and intentionally overdramatized.
90 Day Fiancé
The premise of the show is that a person “imports” a potential foreign wife or husband, and has 90 days to marry them before their tourist visa expires.
There are so many things wrong about '90 Day Fiance' that many of us hoped it was fake from the get-go.
Beauty and the Geek
The premise behind "Beauty and the Geek" is simple, take a classic dating show and flip it upside down by pitting some of the most beautiful women on earth with the nerdiest men against each other.
Not only were many of the geeks acting, but some of the girls were paid actresses too.
Restaurant Stakeout
Willie Degel gets behind the counter in unsuccessful food establishments and fixes their broken businesses. He does this by firing inadequate staff members in a highly dramatic fashion.
One of the show’s participants admitted the studio contacted him and screened for bad employees. They also asked the restaurant's staff to act as horribly as possible.
