‘Geordie Shore’ is the British take on the not-so-real American reality show ‘Jersey Shore’. And if you’ve ever tried watching the latter, you’ve probably guessed it’s incredibly fake. Well, they aren’t very real across the pond either.
The thing that without a doubt outed the show’s fakery was one of its 2018 trailers. It showed a snippet from Marnie’s birthday, which normally, wouldn’t raise many eyebrows. It’s just that the trailer was aired on her real-life birthday, revealing that the celebration happened long before the actual date. Marnie herself later tweeted that the show is “fake and scripted”.
Alaskan Bush People
'Alaskan Bush People' follows the Brown family, who were supposedly born and raised in the Alaskan Bush. However, it didn't take long for contradictory reports to surface.
For starters, the family's neighbors told the media that the family has once lived in the modern Alaskan Icy Strait Lodge. Then there are testimonies stating that the family's so-called Bush home was only used for filming and they didn't really live there. And finally, the media has discovered that the Browns had lived outside of Alaska between 2009-2012, making their legal status as Alaskans questionable. Authenticity is out the icy window.
Made in Chelsea
No, not the Chelsea in New York, the one in London. Although it doesn't really matter because it's totally fake. That's right, all this drama of young people with too much money and time on their hands is as fake as Kylie Jenner's lips.
Former participants actually spoke against the producers and the way they script different happenings and create drama where there isn't any. One of them has even gone on record saying that they filmed fake dinners early in the morning. Sounds heavy on the stomach. And fake.
Ice Road Truckers
The first season opening of 'Ice Road Truckers' shows a huge truck breaking through an ice road and falling into the icy water below it. The whole intro was filmed with miniatures and no one was hurt, but that's not the kind of fake that made the show enter our list.
People who've participated in the show have confessed to it being scripted and heavily edited to paint average people as villains or heroes. Furthermore, the show portrays ice road trucking as far more dangerous than it actually is. Which is an unnecessary fake given how dangerous it is, to begin with.
Chrisley Knows Best
'Christley Knows Best' follows the lives of real estate legend Todd Christley and his family. It first premiered in 2014 and has since spawned no less than eight seasons and three spinoffs. Apparently, the show's success shouldn't be credited to authenticity.
An inside source from the show's set admitted that most of the dialogue on it is scripted. Not only that but in an effort to keep the comedy going, scenes that didn't turn out as funny as Christley imagined get re-shot. Funny yet fake.
