“The Jerry Springer Show” is one of the most outlandish and exaggerated shows on TV. It basically features the worst of humanity, from fathers who happily abandon their children, to some pretty messed up cases of family abuse.
While it’s all heavily edited, at least it’s clear by the audience’s reaction that they’re having lots of fun, and we viewers at home feel good about ourselves.
Divorce Court
"Divorce Court" revolves around married couples that need to come to a resolution around their divorce.
One mother claimed that her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend were hired to act and basically fake a marriage story on the show. We want to say that that's disappointing and while it is, as long as we are entertained, we don't care that much.
Naked And Afraid
"Naked And Afraid" basically takes that premise and is not afraid to run naked with it, as the show takes participants and makes them live half nude on an island.
The show is extremely produced. Participants receive from staff various amenities that don’t exactly exist on desert islands, such as tampons and various other supplements.
Fixer Upper
Producers of "Fixer Upper" weren’t going to risk investing much time and resources only to fail at finding a house for their participants. Most of the show’s houses were already purchased before filming began.
Homeowners were reportedly required to pay extra to keep their new furniture, and the production team often skipped renovating various rooms for the sake of cutting down expenses.
Cribs
"Cribs" ran for more than a decade, and featured the houses of many popular entertainment figures.
However, a woman named Janette Verla sued MTV after her leased house was promoted as Ja Rule’s fake crib. They may be luxurious, but they’re also very fake.
