MTV’s “Catfish” features hosts Nev and Max as they help people uncover the identities of those they’ve been chatting with online.
You’d think that they get approached by people who suspect they are being catfished, but many reports claim that the show’s producers actually get approached by people who catfish and want to apply for it. Basically, the catfish get cast first, which is kinda fishy, if you ask us.
The Biggest Loser
Let’s face it, most of us should probably spend a little more time exercising and a little less on watching people try to lose weight on "The Biggest Loser".
The show is notorious for putting its overweight participants on soul-crushing diets that end up backfiring horribly after the show ends.
WAGS LA
A WAG is the wife or girlfriend of a famous athlete. "WAGS" quickly became one of the E's most-watched reality shows. The premise was a behind-the-scenes look at the life and drama of being a sports star’s wife.
Unfortunately, most of the conflicts in the show were completely made up. The show’s deceptiveness got to the point where some women in it didn’t even date these athletes in real life!
Last Comic Standing
Everyone loves a good standup show. The show is centered around finding highly talented comedians and giving them the spotlight. Unfortunately, it was reported that it's the show’s production that ends up picking the winners instead of the judges.
They also deceptively edit good performances to make them look like flops. Why would anyone do that?
What Not To Wear
Many people dream of getting $5,000 to achieve a total fashion makeover. Some of the show’s participants claimed that the producers forced them to give away all their old clothes to charity.
This was done in order to get tax breaks on their new clothes, which pretty much made them free for the TLC network.
