While most boys learn by age twelve that wrestling is fake, a handful of them has grown up believing these battles to be true.
It’s hard to imagine that some fans still think that you can get smacked in the head by a chair repeatedly and just show up the next week like everything’s fine.
Survivor
"Survivor" might just be the longest-running reality TV show of all time, as it has been running annually for more than two decades. Unfortunately, whether it started in recent years or decades ago, the show has been outed as mostly fake.
Producers have even admitted to using stunt doubles for many of the team’s challenges.
Duck Dynasty
"Duck Dynasty" revolves around the Robertson family, which makes most of its vast wealth with creative duck hunting products. The show ran for 130 episodes and proved that beards can be extremely entertaining.
However, most of the show’s drama was exaggerated for ratings, and producers often inserted ‘bleeps’ even when the cast wasn’t swearing.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians
Whatever you might think about Kim Kardashian and her family, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that they have managed to make literally billions off their name and likeness by ginning up controversy and getting attention.
It still draws in millions every week though, so apparently, the truth isn’t all that important.
Breaking Amish
In today’s always-connected world, a group like the Amish tends to get quite a unique reputation, and many are obviously fascinated with their unique lives. "Breaking Amish" introduced the premise of Amish people trying to break away from their confined lifestyles and moving to New York.
It’s known at this point that the show is actually fake, as these people aren’t really Amish, just actors!
