They have been doing this since the beginning. They throw 2-3 people who actually are fans of the show and not "connected", but most of these people are not just ordinary people off the street. They want to create drama and get ratings and ordinary sane people don't act like that, specially on TV for the world to see.

 Re: A&E Reality Show Exposed as a Fraud
 
 I think everyone knows that most, if not all reality shows are scripted.Atlanta Fox affiliate shows A&E's 'Flip This House' is a fraud.
 
 Not that some real estate show is big news but it makes you wonder how many other 'reality' shows are scripted. For example does American Idol fix the results to get higher ratings?Originally posted by BlzerLet me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
 
 If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)Comment

 Re: A&E Reality Show Exposed as a Fraud
 
 As for Survivor, barring a Ewing to the Knicks type of conspiracy could you imagine if they just drew names from a hat on live television to announce the contestants. Do that and I may again watch. I liked Survivor the first year as it actually felt real, but as soon as season 2 started it was obvious to me that "it" that made Survivor special the first time wasn't there anymore and I haven't watched since.
 
 I get the feeling that the 'reality' TV genre is in for a Quiz Show like falling out within the next couple of years.Comment

 I reallllllyyyyyy hope all these crappy "reality" shows go out of existence. I like the documentary type of reality shows like Little People Big World but these game shows have just ruined tv for me.As for Survivor, barring a Ewing to the Knicks type of conspiracy could you imagine if they just drew names from a hat on live television to announce the contestants.

 Re: A&E Reality Show Exposed as a Fraud
 
 So nothing. I made an observation... however, I disagree that most are normal people. I think producers conveniently leave off people's actual resume when they list their occupations. Chip & Kim and Uchena & Joyce, both Million Dollar Winners on The Amazing Race, never once were mentioned during their seasons that they were actors.... yet they are all four actors.
 
 Bottomline is that it all goes back to the premise that reality TV ended with Real World 1. After that, people had an idea about what it was and how they could benifit from it. The first season of most reality shows is the closest they will ever get, but even at that.... it's all smoke and mirrors.Listen to The Remodeling Clay Podcast!

 Re: A&E Reality Show Exposed as a Fraud
 
 actually Sanjayah was only around because of a thing that was going around where people wanted to try and keep on the worst singer on the show, to see if he could win....It was also started by Howard Stern that got people to vote for Sanjayah to stay on...it was pure comedyI never knew that, but that really makes me think the show is incredibly fixed.
 
 Take this year, Sanjayah stayed around long enough to generate ratings but not enough to tarnish their precious Idol Gives Back. It isn't like he ever stayed over someone who had a chance to win the show.The DuCross Brothers: Sports Internet Talk Show

 Re: A&E Reality Show Exposed as a Fraud
 
 I know that is what was believed to be true, but in reality I believe Fox was milking that angle for its own shameless self promotion. It just seemed very convenient he went the week before Idol Gives Back when ironically he wasn't the worst of the bunch the previous night.actually Sanjayah was only around because of a thing that was going around where people wanted to try and keep on the worst singer on the show, to see if he could win....It was also started by Howard Stern that got people to vote for Sanjayah to stay on...it was pure comedyComment

 Re: A&E Reality Show Exposed as a Fraud
 
 I'll take the ones from 10 years ago.............maybe.
 
 IIRC the people on the second Real World actually (the one with the Hispanic guy who died from AIDS) had legit jobs, one was a med student another was in corrections.Comment
