Producers of ‘Fixer Upper’ weren’t going to risk investing much time and resources only to fail at finding a house for their participants. Most of the show’s houses were already purchased before filming began, but it gets even worse.
Homeowners were reportedly required to pay extra to keep their new furniture, and the production team often skipped renovating various rooms for the sake of cutting down expenses. Now that’s a fixer-upper and a fake one at that.
Famously Single
The E! Networks' 'Famously Single' brings together sever celebs who haven't yet met their match and tries to set them up with various romantic prospects. Or so the producers would have you think.
The show features the stars' dates, recaps, and therapy sessions to help maintain the feeling of reality. However, the celebrities aren't exactly talented actors, and the dramatic happening depicted in the show are often artificial. Artificial and fake.
Cribs
Back in the day, MTV dominated the reality show market by coming up with various reality shows that involve celebrities and their insanely luxurious lives. 'Cribs' ran for more than a decade, and featured the houses of many popular entertainment figures.
However, a woman named Janette Verla sued MTV after her leased house was promoted as Ja Rule’s fake crib. They may be luxurious, but they’re also very fake.
The Jerry Springer Show
'The Jerry Springer Show' is one of the most outlandish and exaggerated shows on TV. It basically features the worst of humanity, from fathers who happily abandon their children, up to some pretty messed up cases of family abuse. Is it any surprise that the show is completely fake?
At least it’s clear by the audience’s reaction that they’re having lots of fun, and we viewers at home feel good about ourselves. Even if it is fake, it’s feelgood fake.
Naked And Afraid
Survival reality shows have been the staple of the genre ever since 'Survivor' became a worldwide phenomenon. 'Naked And Afraid' basically takes that premise and runs naked with it, as the show takes participants and makes them live half nude on an island.
The show is extremely produced. Participants receive from staff various amenities that don’t exactly exist on desert islands, such as tampons and various supplements. Naked and fake is more like it.
