The premise of MTV’s ‘Catfish’ is certainly interesting. It features hosts Nev and Max as they help people uncover the identities of those they’ve been chatting with online.
You’d think that they get approached by people who suspect they are being catfished, but many reports claim that the show’s producers actually get approached by people who catfish and want to apply for it. Now that’s just wrong… and fake.
What Not To Wear
Many people dream of being picked up for 'What Not to Wear' and getting $5,000 to achieve a total fashion makeover. Unfortunately, some of the show’s participants claimed that the producers literally forced them to give away all their old clothes to charity.
This was done in order to get tax breaks on their new clothes, which pretty much made them free for the TLC network. Hardcore… but not at all fake.
Last Comic Standing
Everyone loves a good standup show, especially one with the premise of 'Last Comic Standing'. The show is centered around finding highly talented comedians and giving them the spotlight. Unfortunately, it was reported that the show’s production ends up picking the winners instead of the judges.
They also deceptively edit good performances to make them look like flops. Why would anyone do that? Insulting and fake.
WAGS LA
When E! first launched WAGS back in 2015, it quickly became one of the network's most-watched reality shows. The premise behind the show was that you have to have a behind-the-scenes look at the life and drama of being a sports star’s wife.
Unfortunately, most of the conflicts and drama in the show were completely made up. The show’s deceptiveness got to the point where some women in it didn’t even date these athletes in real life. What a fake.
The Biggest Loser
Let’s face it, most of us should probably spend a little more time exercising and a little less on watching people try to lose weight on 'The Biggest Loser'. But we don’t and that’s why we enjoy it so much.
The show is notorious for putting its overweight participants on soul-crushing diets that end up backfiring horribly after the show ends. Many of the show’s “medical professionals” have also been criticized, and are most likely not licensed. Uncertified… and fake!
