There’s nothing quite like watching rich socialites try to live like the rest of us. This was the premise behind ‘The Simple Life’, which put Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in situations that forced them to do actual work.
While the show was real in the sense that the girls did work a lot, Hilton admitted that most of their reactions were exaggerated for entertainment value. Exaggerated and fake.
South Beach Tow
We thought that nobody would watch a show about towing illegally parked cars, but 'South Beach Tow' proved us wrong. The show’s lead star, Bernice (shown below), is known for using incredibly creative methods for towing cars and often ends up catching the violator moments later.
The show is obviously fake, but that doesn’t mean it's not extremely fun to watch. Tow away your depiction of reality because this show is anything but real!
The City
Whitney Port was a famous character from the reality show 'The Hills' and eventually got her own spin-off show in 'The City'. She went to live in New York City and would routinely get into various dramatic scenarios throughout her day.
While the show was essentially real in terms of the people involved, many of its events were either staged or forced by the production. Staged and fake.
Basketball Wives
Similar to 'WAGS' in its essence, 'Basketball Wives' follows the lives and drama involved in being married to famous basketball players. Unfortunately for the show’s producers, in an astonishing interview, former cast member Matt Barnes claimed that the show is entirely fake.
His claims were backed up by Tanya Young, who was equally unsupportive of the show’s creators. Unsympathetically fake.
The Bachelor/The Bachelorette
Like many reality TV shows that revolve around finding love, both 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette' are mostly scripted. There have been many rumors of producers basically working behind the scenes to create much of the drama on the show.
Everything from casting to the eventual rose ceremony is predetermined, and producers of the show are in control from start to finish. This one would not get a rose from us as it is completely and utterly fake!
