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.
Catfish
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.
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?
The Real World
"The Real World" is actually not real at all. Many of its participants admitted that most of the conversations that happened in the house were actually scripted and pre-planned by the producers.
Everyone gets a rough direction of what they need to do or say, and improvise their way from there.
Total Bellas
Professional wrestling always included its fair share of women athletes, as they bring a much-needed air of femininity to this mostly male sport.
"Total Bellas" was originally pitched as a reality show about two prominent female wrestlers. We’re not surprised the show was completely fake, considering its source material.
