Yup, so true. All these show might have been real at first but now its just a soap opera.

[Swittie]

i believe most of them r fake, its pretty much all set up to get audience .....

heres an example: If you watch Amish Mafia, at the start it says that some events were reenacted, but throughout the entire show its the same supposedly real Amish people. And that is on discovery channel, which is supposed to be educational

i believe that 9/10 are fake, and the 1 remaining is only 50% fake

[GlennnnelG]

we already had something that depicted reality on television or film.... they are called documentaries. so i am very suspicious of why they came up with "reality tv"
