Reality Shows That Are Totally Fake

Storage Wars

Storage Wars, a popular A&E show about storage locker auctions, faced controversy when star David Hester sued, alleging fake production. Hester, known as “The Mogul,” claimed producers planted valuable items to enhance the show’s appeal. After a lawsuit, A&E and Hester settled, but the producers never admitted or denied planting items, leaving the truth uncertain.

Bridezilla

Bridezilla show isn’t real. Producers make women act dramatic, angry, and teary for better TV. They do many takes until it looks intense. Cameras following add stress.

Bachelor In Paradise

In today’s time, we know TV shows are edited heavily, but contestants often don’t realize this. They talk sincerely about their feelings on camera, but editors pick the most dramatic moments. Producers guide contestants to create more drama on the show. This behind-the-scenes process is a common practice nowadays.

Chrisley Knows Best

In ‘Chrisley Knows Best,’ more than half the talk is scripted, and scenes are redone if not funny enough, a source revealed.

Ice Road Truckers

The show’s dramatic opening with a truck in icy water was created using mini models. Cast members admit the show is scripted and edited to portray heroes and villains, a standard reality TV practice. While ice road trucking is dangerous, the series exaggerates risks for dramatic effect, typical in such shows. So, what you see might not be as perilous as it appears.

The Bachelor

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have been on TV for a very long time. But, it’s not all about true love; many couples break up, and some don’t even get married. The show often creates dramatic stories through scripting and editing. Producers pick popular contestants and set up situations to make them winners or runners-up.
