Another "Reality" TV show busted for being fake

[RoadVirus]

This time, it's Real Housewives of Orange County. If the producers label this kind of crap as "reality", and yet stage certain on-camera dramas, they should be punished for at least false advertising.

Radar Online recently reported that leaked text messages from “Real Housewives of Orange County” star Vicki Gunvalson showed that certain scenes on her hit Bravo series were planned ahead and faked for cameras. According to the texts, Gunvalson’s daughter’s wedding was scripted, not a spur-of-the-moment surprise captured by the cameras.
So is anything we see on so-called “reality TV” actually real?

Nothing is real, even with those cooking shows. A lot is scripted and they go over and over it to get just the right emotion etc.

If you watch shows like that you should be punished. No Wait! You are being punished. Your brain is being rotted.

Of course you're writing about Hardcore Pawn, which is a real pawn shop but a totally staged tv production very little if any of which is spontaneous and real.

While Lester Gold is barely a tolerable personality I can't help wishing to see one of those irate customer stereotypes freak out and go to work on Seth with a straight razor. As for Ashley, she is by far the ugliest human female I've ever seen. Not only physically. There is something inside her that seeps out and stinks.

There is a Chicago version of this supposed "reality" show. The store is much smaller but the proprietors are not at all hateful, as are the Golds.

No kidding? What was your first clue? I can't imagine anyone thinking is was real.

If they were going to be honest, they'd call the show Fake Boobs and Tans of Orange County.

Thank God it's a fake. Some of my faith in humanity is now restored.

Woohoo!

Isn't 'reality' just a discription of the type of program? ie, comedy, drama, reality

I'm surprised that they get away with the flagrant dishonesty inherent in "reality shows". I believed what I saw in the Discovery Channel show about the apparent existence of "mermaids" but I was later informed that the video stuff was faked and the alleged experts were actors.
