Speaking of reality shows with terrible ideas behind them, how about a show that uses marital disputes for ratings? ‘Divorce Court’ revolves around married couples that need to come to a resolution around their divorce.
One mother claimed that her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend were hired to act and basically fake a marriage story on the show. High ratings yet highly 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.
The Real Housewives
There was a lot of speculation over the years whether 'The Real Housewives' was scripted or not. The debate around the authenticity of the show came to an end when Teresa Giudice, one of its stars, swore in court under oath that it was fake.
The star claimed that everything, from the meetings to the confrontations, is all planned in advance by the production. That’s the real fake housewives for ya!
The Voice
We’re really very sad to announce that 'The Voice' isn’t quite as authentic as many would want to believe, but don’t take it from us. Rock singer Adam Wiener claimed on Facebook that he was approached by the show, but eventually chose to decline their offer to participate.
He said the show not only chooses their performers but also picks their songs and music styles. How upsetting! But once again, fake.
