There’s something extremely cringe-inducing about ‘Toddlers and Tiaras’, a show which takes the already debatable idea of having adults argue on TV for entertainment, and makes children do it instead.
However, many of the show’s participants and former staff came forward in recent years and claimed that the show is largely scripted, with the drama mostly being fake. Prematurely fake.
The Apprentice
Before Donald Trump became President of the U.S., he was polishing his acting skills on 'The Apprentice'. The show made him almost as popular as Oprah, and mostly revolves around Trump interviewing candidates for a chance to work for him.
Many of the show’s firing scenes were highly exaggerated, and participants knew ahead of time that they were about to get the ax. Presidentially fake.
Britain's Got Talent
Like Gordon Ramsey’s various reality TV shows, fans of 'Britain’s Got Talent' mostly tune in to watch Simon Cowell get paid almost $100 million per year to dish out creative criticism to the show’s participants.
Unfortunately, in 2015 it was revealed that some of the show’s talents are fake, with producers doing everything they can to make sure things stay interesting. Deceivingly fake.
Mob Wives
'Mob Wives' basically took a bunch of rugged, tough women from Staten Island, N.Y. that were married to mobsters and pitted them against each other. The show was mostly fake in the sense that many of its events were staged or produced.
Most of its participants don’t actually frequent together, so the producers essentially created various dramatic scenes and fights between them. So fake… and dangerous too.
Love Island
Reality TV shows often get criticized for not having any creative content. 'Love Island' is a great example of this lack of originality, as it’s simply a mix of 'The Bachelor' and 'Survivor'. The show pairs a group of singles on a tropical island, but according to one naughty Reddit user, it’s completely fake.
Everything, from the arguments to the dramas on the show, is made up and acted. Romantically fake.
