In 2009, ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ showed the world what would happen when you take a bunch of drag queens and put them in a reality show.
Despite its popularity, former contestant Jaremi Carey (Phi Phi O’Hara), claims that the show’s producers often ginned-up drama by intentionally getting him emotional and then cutting clips deceptively to make him look bad. Spectacularly fake.
Pimp My Ride
Back in 2004, MTV and Xzibit teamed up for a show about breaking down mediocre cars and turning them into pimped out rides. Unfortunately, despite the show’s exciting premise, many of its restorations were fake.
Many of the cars that were “pimped out” never actually got improved the way they were shown. They were simply outfitted with various props that just look good on camera. What a shame! And a fake!
Long Island Medium
Whatever your opinion is on mediums and fortune tellers, you can’t deny that they have a certain appeal. 'Long Island Medium' is a great example of taking that premise to the extreme. Although it does have its fair share of issues, Theresa Caputo, the show’s star medium, has been involved in many, many scandals and legal issues over the years.
The star has also been accused of receiving most of her readings from the crew through a hidden earbud. Very medium and totally fake.
Undercover Boss
There’s a lot of merit behind a show about hard-working people finally getting rewarded for all their under-credited hard work. Each episode revolves around a company’s boss going undercover and learning crucial lessons about his employees and business.
Unfortunately, various reports indicate that the show is mostly fake, including the various promises made to employees. Completely devastating… and completely fake.
Jersey Shore
In 2009, 'Jersey Shore' hit the TV channels and became one of the world’s most popular reality shows. While the cast members of 'Jersey Shore' are actually friends in real life, most of their drama is apparently made up.
A lawyer whose offices were located just across the street from them reported that many of their walkouts were not only staged but rehearsed to perfection. Lawyered! And fake...
