You probably had some idea that reality TV shows are, to a certain extent, staged and scripted. This is usually done to increase the drama and boost the ratings. It might be called a reality TV show, but you should not let this fool you! There are even times when they are totally fake from the very beginning!
South Beach Tow
How can anyone possibly deny how incredible the hijinks on South Beach Tow are? Bernice is our favorite person on the show. Remember when she used her hands to survive a fall only to catch a violator right after? It is clear that the show is fake, but we do not think that makes it any less fun to watch.
South Beach Tow
Duck Dynasty
This show follows the Robertsons from Louisiana. The family runs its very own duck-hunting business, which is the focus of the show. Everyone on the cast is related either by blood or through marriage. This is all true, but the producers tend to add ‘dramatic’ elements to keep things interesting. Not only that but it is also said that the production team adds ‘bleeps’ even when none of them have been cursing.
Duck Dynasty
Undercover Boss
If you have ever worked with a horrible coworker, you probably love the idea of watching someone like them be punished. On the show, bosses want to find out what happens when they are not around and infiltrates the crew. This is a good way to figure out what needs to be done within the business, after all. In reality, it is scripted. Worse, the bosses do not follow through on the promises they made to workers.
Undercover Boss
Hardcore Pawn
It is fun to watch the Gold family as they work on their pawnshop business in the rough 8 Mile, Detroit. But is it true that a lot of strange people drop by the store regularly? If you ever felt like the arguments on the show are too unbelievable to be true, that might be because they really are. A couple of the people who have gone on the show have revealed that the ‘fights’ were all staged. To be fair, it is a little hard to believe that Les, Seth, and Ashley will get into an argument with a customer every single day!
Hardcore Pawn
Project Runway
Just so you know, a show might be very popular but still very fake. A lot of contestants, including Jack Mackenroth and Daniel Esquivel, said that the judging portion on the show is not genuine at all. To be specific, the latter has claimed that the producers had a tendency to tailor the show in such a way that would sensationalize the contests to the highest possible level.
Project Runway
Cake Boss
This cooking show, led by a business owner by the name of Buddy Valastro, proved to be a hit among viewers in no time at all. The team made the most intricate and gorgeous cake designs we have ever seen. While it was a dramatic show, things were not as they seemed. You see, Valastro is only ever at the shop when they are taping. Aside from that, the producers also stage certain weddings and events.
Cake Boss
Ghost Hunters
Not only has this show enjoyed a lot of popularity over the years, but it has also paved the way for more spinoffs. However, it has been accused of being a fake reality TV show in the past as well. According to a former case manager called Donna Lacroix, the viewers had been correct to think like that.
Ghost Hunters
The Jerry Springer Show
Is this really all that surprising? After all, this must be among the most outlandish things that TV history has ever seen. You do not even have to be the most observant person out there to realize that it is not as authentic as it wants to seem. Just to be clear, the storylines and guests are not truthful at all.
The Jerry Springer Show
Keeping Up With The Kardashians
How can you possibly be alive in 2020 if you do not know this show? It first came out in 2007 and follows the Kardashian-Jenner family. People watched as the family members reach certain milestones in life. Knowing this, it is not shocking to know that they needed to edit and reshoot various scenes to make things more coherent and cohesive. According to the divorce documents of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, Russell Jay claimed that two or more scenes involving Humphries had been reshot or scripted. It turns out that the show relies a lot on the editors to add more drama to the show.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Storage Wars
When David Hester was fired from the show, he let the entire world know that the show has a script it follows. The same goes for the interviews they do. He said that the producers set up the storage locker by planting interesting items in them as well. Aside from that, he also said that the auctions are fake.
Storage Wars
Jersey Shore
The world first met the cast of the show in 2009. While the stars are friends in real life, it does not show the truth about their lives. According to extras and locals, many of the things that happen on the show were planned in advance. There was a lawyer who lived across the street and claimed that he had seen them practice the walkabouts. Not only that, but it is also said that they reshoot the scenes from various angles. Essentially, they have rehearsed all the facial expressions and dialogue that we see and hear.
Jersey Shore
Say Yes To The Dress
The bridal reality TV program shows brides-to-be searching for the wedding dress of their dreams at the Kleinfeld store in New York. But the truth is that these women have been chosen by the producers before that. They ask the ladies to repeat or stress their comments to add more drama to the scenes. On top of that, the shop is actually much smaller than the show would have you think. Many of those who go to the store to check it out end up shocked to see that this is the case.
Say Yes To The Dress
Long Island Medium
As a medium, Theresa Caputo claimed that she can connect clients with their late loved ones. While the premise of the show is undoubtedly interesting, we can see why there are people who found it dubious from the very start. She has been involved in a controversy because she allegedly has information about audiences and clients that appear on the show. Producers get to know these people from background checks, questionnaires, and social media. They then feed Caputo what they have found out.
Long Island Medium
Cupcake Wars
This show starts out with four contestants from different bakeries across the United States. They compete against each other in three cupcake baking rounds in the hopes of bagging to chance to appear in an event that showcases a thousand cupcakes. More often than not, the first round has a challenge that involves the use of unconventional cupcake ingredients. However, the rumors claim that they are already aware of the ingredients even before they are revealed on the show.
Cupcake Wars
Naked And Afraid
On the show, participants are taken to exotic places, stripped naked, and filmed as they attempt to survive on their own. Some contestants have revealed that things are not what they seem on the show. For one, it relies heavily on the editors. Aside from that, the production team hands the participants amenities not readily available in the wild. We are talking about items like supplements, prescription medication, and tampons. Oh well, it was hard to believe the premise from the very beginning anyway.
Naked And Afraid
Basketball Wives
The stars of the show are women who are married to some of the biggest NBA stars. However, it turns out that they are not all happy about the way things are run. A former cast member called Matt Barnes has spoken about how staged and scripted everything is on the show. This claim was backed by Tanya Young. She shared that the producers would pit the ladies against each other for the drama.
Basketball Wives
The Hills
It feels like this show did every single thing on the reality TV show checkbook. Teen angst, backstabbing, and lovers’ quarrel were common on the show. Apparently, it is very, very scripted. According to Spencer Pratt, he and Heidi Montag once had to shoot the same scene 15 times. This was when she thought that she was “pregnant,” after which he reacted with outrage. The producers also admitted that they cast several people on the show. This includes Lauren’s best friend at work.
The Hills
Last Comic Standing
While it was still running, this show had been on the lookout for undiscovered talent. It handed these folks cash prizes or exposure for the act of competing. In reality, the producers contributed to the vote more than the contestants and judges did. When the winner was declared, this made everyone furious. Aside from that, the show also uses many edits to make good performances look worse than they were.
Last Comic Standing
The Apprentice
People credit this reality TV show for putting the current POTUS in the limelight. The premise involves several businessmen and celebrities as they interview for a job at a company owned by Donald Trump. Like the other shows on the list, the producers drew up a script for the firing segments. On top of that, the contestants were informed that would be “fired” even before the scene took place. The worst thing, in our opinion, is that the winner did not get anything more than bragging rights.
The Apprentice
Love Island
What do you get when you mix The Bachelor and Survivor? The answer to that question is this show. If you have not heard of it before, the premise is that singles spend the summer with one another on a tropical island. They are then enticed to pair off and hook up with the promise of money, victory, and romance by the end of it all. According to Reddit, everything about the show from the intimate scenes to the arguments is scripted. Only the most “realistic” takes are shown on TV.
Love Island
Breaking Amish
Allow us to tell you the truth about this fascinating TV show. Jezebel has reported that based on official documents, the stars of the show had actually left the community a long time ago. This does not align with the claims of the show. After all, they allegedly ventured into the outside world for the “first time.”
Breaking Amish
Britain’s Got Talent
The British equivalent of the popular American talent show features diverse contestants showcasing their talents. It has dancers, acrobats, magicians, and every other thing that you can possibly imagine. At one point, a dog even blew the viewers away. In 2005, the victor was declared to be the “Jules and Matisse” dog act. In reality, the results had been rigged. The producers took out a dog that resembled Matisse because the real one had been too scared to perform such an extreme stunt.
Britain’s Got Talent
Restaurant Stakeout
Restaurateur Willie Degel put up cameras in an eatery that had not been faring very well. This was done in an attempt to find out what was going wrong. The setup was supposed to catch employees who were not working properly. After that, he would confront them and possibly even fire them as dramatically as possible. For your information, this is almost completely fake. The owner of the restaurant in the first season said that the Food Network contacted them and ran a screen-test on the employees before they started filming. Aside from that, the customers were asked to behave as obnoxiously as possible.
Restaurant Stakeout
Dance Moms
Were you ever under the impression that all the fighting in Dance Moms had been over-the-top? If so, we are impressed by your intuition. You are correct! In 2015, Maddie Ziegler talked to USA Today and said that the dramatic moments are sometimes set up and staged. She said, “It’s hard to do a reality show when there’s so much crying and drama. The producers set it up to make us all yell at each other… The moms have a fake fight sometimes. Afterward they just start talking and laugh about it.”
Dance Moms
Hell’s Kitchen
We doubt that this show would be the same if it was not hosted by the foul-mouthed Gordon Ramsay. When it comes to reality TV shows, this has to be one of the most entertaining ones out there. However, you should bear in mind that the show has a script. The customers that eat the meals are paid actors.
Hell’s Kitchen
Toddlers And Tiaras
Do you also cringe a little when you catch even just a couple of minutes of the show? We don’t get it, but some folks out there are huge fans. Anyway, Ranker has said that many things you see on the show have been staged. For example, stars are told to rephrase things that they say and to create drama on the show. Of course, these things are done to make everything more interesting.
Toddlers And Tiaras
Survivor
The premise of this show sounds like the real-life equivalent of The Hunger Games. The contestants are split into teams, abandoned in the wilderness, and participate in various challenges. It is sad to hear that most of the challenges and competitions that take place in the show are fake. Producers have admitted to hiring body doubles for some of these. Aside from that, the participants are asked to reenact various scenes. A former contest on the show claimed that her eviction was rigged as well.
Survivor
American Idol
In 2001, American Idol made its debut on the small screen and proved to be a hit. It starts with singing auditions in different parts of the country until the judges find someone deserving of the title. The vast majority of the hopefuls do not have a chance, but not for the reason that you think. It is said that scouts have already been deployed to search for great singers even before the auditions start.
American Idol
Catfish
The hit MTV show is hosted by Max and Nev. They try to solve the identity of “who is really behind these profiles.” We know that it is a pretty unusual premise, but it is interesting because so many people catfish these days. Even so, the show is not exactly as truthful as it claims to be. The producers are said to do the entire thing in reverse! Apparently, the people who catfish are the ones who apply to be on it.
Catfish
The Voice
A potential competitor has said that the talent show is rigged. A rock singer called Adam Wiener took to Facebook to talk about how the show courted him. He ended up turning the offer down since it is pre-cast. On top of that, the producers chose the songs and music style that the contestants have to perform. Fans were shocked to hear this and began to question how real The Voice is.
The Voice
Property Brothers
We are also devastated to hear about this one. A pair of Canadian brothers work together to guide couples in their search for the house of their dreams. Sadly, certain aspects of the show are nothing but fake. First of all, Jonathan and Drew do not renovate the entire place and only work on a few rooms that the couple handpicked. Not only that but certain scenes are also reshot to inject as much ‘drama’ as possible for the entertainment of the audience. Last but not the least, the couples actually go for a renovation project because the brothers tend to show homes that are out of their budget.
Property Brothers
Pawn Stars
Who would have thought that this popular History Channel show is almost totally scripted? While the store exists and is owned by the Harrisons, it has since become more of a tourist spot than anything else. The stars do not work regular hours there anymore, thanks to Nevada privacy laws. Aside from this, the cast members have already agreed with the sellers about the price point before the episode is shot.
Pawn Stars
The Real Housewives
To be honest with you, there is nothing new about speculation that it is scripted. However, it was only confirmed when Theresa Guidice swore under oath and revealed that this is the case. The producers have already planned the meetings between the woman in advance. Aside from that, the same is also true for the big fights that they have among the group. Yikes.
The Real Housewives
The Bachelor/The Bachelorette
We can’t deny that it is very amusing to watch both of these shows. Sadly, it is a lot less natural than the producers want you to think. Rumors claim that the stars are fed the lines beforehand. Aside from that, they coax the dramatic contestants into certain situations for the sake of drama. The rose ceremony has also been planned. The cast is chosen so carefully that they already know who will make it to the finals!
The Bachelor And The Bachelorette
The Biggest Loser
Even though viewers wait to hear how much weight the contestants lost, the fancy technology used in the show is totally fake. As a matter of fact, the contestants have been weighed and measured two days before that happens. On top of that, people have also doubted the qualifications of the medical crew on the show! It is thought that they are not qualified to give out drugs to the contestants. On top of that, it is edited to make it seem like the contestants are more lethargic and lazier than they actually are.
The Biggest Loser
The Simple Life
Viewers simply could not get enough of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie doing menial work in small towns all over the country. We will be the first ones to say that it was a hilarious show. However, Paris later admitted that the producers asked them to act more like a troublemaker and a ditzy blonde than they really are. She also said that it was fun to play the airhead and use a baby voice. As a matter of fact, she still has a habit of using this persona! The show was on the air for five years, so it makes sense.
The Simple Life
House Hunters
This is one of the most successful TV shows on HGTV. It is unfortunate to hear that it is just another fake show. The participants have already chosen the house that they will buy even before they appear in front of the cameras! There are also times when they have already bought the house. What makes it all so much worse is the fact that the show sometimes hires young actors to play the role of homeowners.
House Hunters
What Not To Wear
We love the premise of this show, but it is not as fun as you might have in mind. The participants on the show receive $5,000 to get a total makeover and redo their wardrobe. It turns out that it comes with several drawbacks, however. The producers throw out their original clothes and donate them to charity! The participants also have to shoulder tax on the items that they buy. On top of all of that, the clothes are tailored to fit them to perfection. However, they have to shoulder the cost of the alternation as well.
What Not To Wear
Pimp My Ride
If you were alive during the early 2000s, you must have heard of this show! Back then, it was one of the biggest things in the world of reality TV. A rapper called Xzibit showed up at the front door of various people and give their car a makeover. Apparently, it is all for show since the makeover was purely cosmetic. A person on the show even said that the car could hardly run when it was returned to them. There were also times when it would take as long as six months before the cars were taken care of.
Pimp My Ride
Cribs
Here was another hit MTV show! It featured celebrities giving the viewers a tour of their house. Fans were blown away by the luxurious details of their homes. It was on the air for 13 years and featured many famous celebrities. However, the truth has since come out. A woman went on to sue MTV because it portrayed her leased house as the crib of Ja Rules. Oops.
Cribs
90 Day Fiance
There are a lot of things wrong about this show from the very beginning. It pretty much exploits foreigners who marry Americans for a K-1 visa more than anything else. What makes it even harder is that the couple has to marry within 90 days. If that does not happen, their tourist visa is going to expire. This means that they have to go home or get deported. It is only natural for a show with this premise to be full of tension, but the producers like to add fuel to the flame to add more drama to the scenes.
90 Day Fiance
Divorce Court
It is clear that reality TV needs drama to survive. We can think of nothing more dramatic than marital problems and divorces. This show is all about the problems and drama that come up in marriage. It listens to the two parties and hopes to reach a resolution between them. It has been revealed that it is all fake, however. A tipster said that their daughter and her boyfriend had been recruited to appear on the show even though they were not married. On top of that, they were given a fake backstory as well.
Divorce Court
The Osbournes
The Osbourne family walked so that the Kardashian-Jenner clan could run. The show seemed to go all out and even came with a lot of swearing from Kelly, Jack, Sharon, and Ozzy. Fans loved this weird yet loving family. It also showed a lot of antics that elicited laughter from the viewers. Sadly, everything that happened on the show was fake because it was mostly scripted. Producers would tell them what to do in every single episode of the reality show.
The Osbournes
Teen Mom
To be fair, MTV does not have a reputation for authentic reality TV shows. This show was a lot like the ones that we have discussed early in the article. It came out after 16 and Pregnant, which shows what it was like for young moms after giving birth. A lot of arrests, breakups, and drama that took place were real. Sadly, the producers also liked to edit conversations so that they sound more dramatic.
Teen Mom
Beauty and the Geek
As the title suggests, this reality TV show paired off gorgeous ladies and nerdy guys to participate in challenges. On the show, the geeks were portrayed to be awkward men who can’t hold a conversation with women. This was not true at all. Apparently, one of them even had a girlfriend at the time. On top of that, the producers allegedly hired actors to portray several contestants on the show.
Beauty And The Geek
I Am Cait
Caitlyn Jenner made headlines with her gender transition. This show documents what it was like for her to stay true to herself after all the difficulties that she went through. Before we go on, we want you to know that the first season was real. But this cannot be said for the one that came after it. Since fans already learned about the transition by then, the producers came up with fake scenarios for season two.
I Am Cait
Famously Single
The reality show from E! Network shows coaches as they try to set up single celebrities who people. The stars live together, undergo therapy sessions, and talk about their quest to look for love. Fans have been suspicious since they are not exactly the best actors. It is easy to spot that many things that happen on the show are staged. People from their past and other celebrities are thrown into the mix as well!
Famously Single
Total Bellas
It is common knowledge that WWE is staged, right? We have no idea why others will think that a reality show about Nikki and Brie Bella is going to be any different. It also revolves around their respective beaus, John Cena and Daniel Bryan. It is clear that the producers fabricated various things that happen in the show. On top of that, they like to play up the fights between Nikki and John Cena
Total Bellas
WAGS
When the show was on the air, it was one of the most popular E! shows out there. It followed the lives of sports stars’ wives. The show relied on fabricated scenarios that the producers arranged among the women to make things more interesting for the audience. The marriage breakdowns might have been genuine, but the competitiveness and conversations among the ladies were not true at all. Apart from that, the producers liked to bring in women who were not dating athletes simply to spice things up.
WAGS
Wife Swap
This show was another hit among the viewers. It was popular during its run of nine years. On the show, drama and conflict ensued as wives walked into new households and swapped old rules out for new ones. It later came to light that the producers asked the contestants to behave in a certain manner. On top of that, the producers created the manuals as well! We are not shocked to hear that the clips were edited to fit the narrative that they wanted to use for the families. One contestant was not even with the partner that he was paired with on the show.
Wife Swap
Big Brother
How can you possibly not know this show? The premise is that a group of strangers live together in a single house and go through various challenges. Every week, the viewers vote one of them out. The choice is usually determined by their personality and attitude. In reality, the production team favors certain contestants and even goes as far as to edit the footage to suit their agenda. Even though CBS says that it is authentic, people have been saying that it is staged and scripted in more ways than one.
Big Brother
Dancing With The Stars
Each season of this show rakes in approximately 8.5 million viewers. But is anything true on the show aside from the dancing? There are celebrities who boast a huge advantage with their backgrounds in the art form. A different person talked about how the show has more to do with personality than skills. On top of that, Wendy Williams was taken out of the second show of the season. This happened since she did not want to follow the script given to her by the producers. There are rumors of fake voting too!
Dancing With The Stars
RuPaul’s Drag Race
This must be one of the most popular reality TV shows out there right now. The drag queens in the show always wow us with their lip-synching skills and celebrity impersonations. Even though we love how fierce they are, the waistlines and counters are not the only things that make illusions. One participant revealed that the producers add soundbites out of context to whip up storylines.
RuPaul’s Drag Race
Bridezillas
Marriage is no laughing matter. Even though it is an important new chapter in life, the ladies on the show like to take it too far. Usually, the bride comes across as a demanding and spoiled princess. It feels like they turn into bridezillas at the smallest inconveniences. Not all the brides have been thrilled with the way they were treated on the show. One of the participants claims that she had been tricked into believing that she was joining a documentary called Manhattan Brides. On the other hand, a different bride confirmed that this also happened to her and sued the show for the misdirection.
Bridezillas
MasterChef
Here is yet another popular reality TV show about cooking competitions! It allegedly gives home chefs the opportunity to audition and fight for the MasterChef title, which comes with $250,000 in prize money. Even though this sounds like a great deal, a former contestant reported that the competition is very fake. According to this person, the participants are made to agree to possibly humiliating and fictionalized portrayals of themselves. Aside from that, they claimed that the editors liked to combine lines of dialogue to make up things that did not happen.
MasterChef
Family Game Night
Did you know that the answers on the show are planned in advance? “I was on Family Game Night after being on the right street at the right time in California. There are certain cards you aren’t supposed to pick because they have nothing behind them. And when it’s your time to pick a game, they give you like six choices. In reality, they tell you there’s only two they have set up and ready to go. All of the answers and games are preplanned. Most of the time, the family has already been on the vacation they won so they can show a picture the following week of them in their destination,” a previous contestant said.
Family Game Night
Let’s Make a Deal
The contestants of Let’s Make A Deal are not chosen at random. The producers choose the weirdest folks they can find in the audience! They tell the viewers to be crazy, exciting, and wild. After that, the producers ask them a number of ‘interview’ questions before they make it inside the set. In reality, this is how they determine who is going to be picked for every deal.
Let’s Make A Deal
Love It or List It
You should not trust the outcome when it comes to the listings. The truth is that the team films two outcomes for every episode. One is a “list it” outcome, and the other is a “love it” result. A couple on the show recorded the two endings like every other participant. They lived in the house and loved it, but fans who watched the show will think that they listed it! The real outcome does not matter to the show.
Love It Or List It
Beachfront Bargain Hunt
Sorry, but it turns out that this show is just as fake as all the other real estate shows out there. Have you noticed how picky the couples are about the houses? It turns out that there is a reason behind this. Even before they are filmed, they have already bought a home. This is why they have to walk through the fake houses and give out ridiculous reasons to shoot them down. All of these things are done to follow the format of the show. A realtor on the show even said that it was required for the clients to either be new homeowners or have a contract for a home already.
Beachfront Bargain Hunt
Mountain Men
If we have to pick a word to describe this History Channel show, it has to be “exaggerated.” The stars on the show have admitted that they only put on the rough personas for the cameras. On top of that, they actually have more money than they pretend they do. On top of all that, many of the dangerous things that happen on the show are nothing more than staged recreations.
Mountain Men
Designed to Sell
What exactly are you supposed to do on a real estate show if the guest is not thinking of selling the house for another year or longer? HGTV has it all sorted out. For the show, the network would hold a staged open house and ask several friends and family members to pose as potential buyers. It is so weird to hear that this is what actually happens on the show. The producers also film a couple of endings for different scenarios. On top of that, the repairs have been done so sloppily that they need to conceal it with the help of the cameras.
Designed To Sell
American Pickers
Haggling is the name of the game here! Unfortunately, there is nothing real since the prices have been predetermined beforehand. We usually see rundown locations that have all kinds of amazing deals. It turns out that the producers had representatives check out the places around a month before the actual filming. On top of that, Jack Sophir or “Hobo Jack” is not a hobo at all. He happens to be a successful collector with several buildings to his name. The only time he is called by this moniker is on the show.
American Pickers
Deadliest Catch
It is already bad enough that the show is fake, but it also creates more problems for fishermen! You are probably wondering how. The producers pay the TV fishing crews, so they do not need to meet the quotas for fishing. This is the reason they can edge out their fellow fishermen when it comes to the price. The existence of the show has made things hard in the industry! On top of that, the show is heavily reliant on editing to make the storylines seem even more dramatic.
Deadliest Catch
Ice Road Truckers
The first season opening theme showed a truck falling through the ice and into freezing water. The whole scene was actually made with the use of miniature models! Even though this is bad enough on its own, cast members have talked about how scripted the show is. It is also edited to make normal people seem like either heroes or villains. Aside from the typical reality TV fakeness, there is also the matter of the producers go extra lengths to make things look even riskier than they are in real life.
Ice Road Truckers
Mystery Diners
The premise of the show is that a restaurant owner gets in touch with Charles Stiles, the host. He then works on setting up a secret operation to catch misbehaving employees in the act. However, people who have worked in these businesses have claimed that it was all fake. They even say that the bad workers are merely paid actors. The real employees have to sign an NDA to stay quiet about it.
Mystery Diners
Southern Charm
The reality show from Bravo works by keeping the viewers doused in “charm.” However, the truth is that it resembles a Real Housewives show more than anything else on TV. After all, it also uses the same format that involves following wealthy people. Therefore, we are not surprised to hear that it is not real. Certain reports claim that the original couple on the show did not even live in Charleston as they claimed. On top of that, the clips are heavily edited to make it even more dramatic.
Southern Charm
Chopped
This Food Network is a hit among fans! Chefs have to compete against each other in a cook-off. They are handed a set of ingredients that they need to use to whip up dinner courses for the judges. One by one, they are eliminated until only one remain. While the timed challenges are real, the show is not quite as genuine as it seems to be. At first, the producers would intentionally short common ingredients on the show to increase the tension among the participants. Even though they no longer do this, they continue to cut corners. Chefs are given a lot of time to go through the pantry in order to think of the dishes that they can make. The best dish is not always declared the winners and nor is the worst dish always eliminated either. Sometimes, they declare the person with the best story the victor instead.
Chopped
Geordie Shore
Also known as the British counterpart of Jersey Shore, this is as fake as the American one. In fact, it might even outdo the original! MTV messed up when it released a new trailer for a new episode. It was about the 26th birthday of Marnie. The problem is that the network released the trailer on the birthday, which makes it clear that it was filmed earlier. On social media, fans were also super confused. Marnie responded by tweeting, “It’s coz [sic] it’s fake and scripted.” She deleted it right away, however.
Geordie Shore
Made in Chelsea
We have another British show on the list! Made in Chelsea is all about the people who live in this posh part of London. There is always some kind of drama going on among the youth in the show. However, most of these instances are actually fake! Some stars have revealed that the producers made scripts and staged various scenarios. A former star explained that they would receive a call early in the morning. It often came with instructions about what to do, where to go, and how to act!
Made In Chelsea
Alaskan Bush People
Do you think you have what it takes to live off the land in the Alaskan wilderness? This show from the Discovery Channel is about “a newly discovered family who was born and raised wild.” However, the story falls apart as soon as the show came out. It starts with the neighbors saying that they did not live in the wild. Instead, they lived at the Icy Strait Lodge in Hoonah, Alaska. Aside from that, people living in the area said that they only use the “bush home” when the cameras are rolling.
Alaskan Bush People
The Island
We are sure that there is nothing easy about surviving on your own in a deserted island for four weeks. It is up to them to look for their food, shelter, and water. Things normally start out on a rough note, but it feels like a body of water almost always shows up at the very last minute. The same goes for food! This is not a coincidence. The show’s producers even said, “We had to ensure the island’s only water supply, a muddy pool, would last through filming in the dry season and that there were enough native animals and native vegetation that could sustain the men for 28 days — as long as they had the ingenuity to find it, catch it and kill it.”

Reality TV simply would not be the same if it were not for Gordon Ramsey. However, he has been called out for the way this show operates. Apparently, it made a Manhattan restaurant seem worse than it truly was. He even got sued for it! In the end, however, the plaintiff decided to drop the lawsuit.
Kitchen Nightmares
Top Chef
The good news is that this show is not as fake as the other ones in the world of cooking shows. Even so, it still pre-plans certain things for a little TV magic. During the first season of the show, one of the celebrity chefs threw a tantrum because the dishes were no longer warm by the time the judges could try them. The cameramen had to hold everyone up as they got close-up shots of the dishes. This means that the contestants had to make two dishes: one for the cameras, and the other for the judges!
Top Chef
Cash In The Attic
This British show thrilled the viewers like nothing else. After all, it is fun to watch them help people look for treasures in the attic and sell the items in an auction. While there is no competition here, there is still money involved in the sale of the items. But the whole show was nothing more than a scam. One of them said that there was nothing of value in the house, so they planted a vase and paintings instead!
Cash In The Attic
Vanderpump Rules
This show follows Lisa Vanderpump and the members of the staff at her restaurant. The Real Housewives spinoff has clearly gone a lot of editing and alteration. Fans like to point out that the staff members wear things in certain scenes. This is a clear indication that they have done multiple takes for it. On top of that, one of the stars admitted that they had a fake breakup to inject more drama.
Vanderpump Rules
Tattoo Fixers
The premise of this show is super interesting. It looks for people that have regrettable tattoos and comes up with a new design meant to cover up the original. The tattooed person does not know what it looks like and only see the “surprise” by the end of it. Their shocked expressions are not authentic at all. The “big surprise reveal” is usually filmed several times so that they can get the expression right.
Tattoo Fixers
Bad Dog
The show is famous for creating a story once they get the footage. For example, there is footage in which they filmed a dog that likes to go through the trash and somehow manage to get into a cabinet with baby locks. Apparently, he liked to open the cabinet a bit and put a pawn in to push the lock open. The producers came up with a story to go with it. They went with a plot in which the dog was influenced by the ferrets that it lived with! The story goes that the ferrets raised and taught the dog this trick. Wild.
Bad Dog
Extreme Makeover Home Edition
One of the volunteers who worked on the show talked about his experience in the past. According to him, the producers filmed “camera-ready” volunteers a bit during the day. However, the truth is that they are only there for show. You see, a proper crew later comes in to do real work on the house.
Extreme Makeover Home Edition
The Real World
There is nothing all that unusual about the premise of this show. It follows the same thing done by other reality shows on the list, after all. This is all about rich people creating drama and backstabbing each other! We are not surprised at all to hear that they simply put on a show to spice things up.
The Real World
Punk’d
This has to be one of the most popular pranking shows ever! Was the show real or was it all staged? The answer is that it is only real some of the time. There are times in which the pranks and the reactions were real, but the show used fakery too. Some celebs were already aware and just went along with it.
Punk’d
My Super Sweet 16
It is quite surprising to think that so many people thought that this show was true. The show follows rich teens throwing awesome sweet 16 parties. It felt like the more extreme it was, the better. There were a lot of tears and meltdowns on the show, but many of them had been nothing more than acts for the cameras. Considering what we know about the industry by now, it should not be all that shocking.
My Super Sweet 16
A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila
VH1 started this show in an attempt to go toe to toe with its rival, MTV. The show involves 16 men and 16 women competing against one another for the affection of Tila Tequila. It was on the air for two seasons and was built on lies. It turned out that the first season winner did not even get the chance to speak to her once they were done filming.
A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila
Paris Hilton’s My New BFF
How obvious is it that this one was fake? Despite this, the show is still marketed as a reality TV show. Anyway, it follows Paris Hilton as she looks for a new best friend. Of course, this took place after she and Nicole had a falling out. There was a lot of drama, but none of them were as real as they claim to be.
Paris Hilton’s My New BFF
Ex On The Beach
Are you surprised to hear that this show is scripted? The reality show runs on the premise of single people on a beach while looking for love. The contestants, however, were not informed that their exes are going to be there with them instead of random singles! Even though the idea sounds amazing, the effect is not as strong when you learn that it is actually scripted. We feel very disappointed to hear this, but we really should not have gotten our hopes up in the first place.
Ex On The Beach
Supernanny
It is pretty amazing to watch Jo Frost turn rowdy children into angels in only a span of a week. However, we doubt that anyone really thinks that this is realistic. We had been right to think that it takes place a little too fast. The producers allegedly give the kids instructions about when to throw tantrums and when to cry. If this is true, then it pretty much discredits everything about the show.
Supernanny
America’s Got Talent
One Redditor has claimed that this talent show is as fake as its British equivalent. According to the user, the musical acts that seem too good are cut out. In fact, the clips might not even appear on TV at all! They do this because they fear that the contestant will discover the said contestant and whisk them away on a record deal before the end of the show.
America’s Got Talent
Floribama Shore
Like its predecessor, Floribama Shore is also fake. Even though the show has a different cast and uses a different location, it has the same format as Jersey Shore. How do we know that it is not real? Well, the actors are simply not clever enough to properly deliver the script that they were fed beforehand. The acting alone is a dead giveaway.
Floribama Shore
Next
Even though we love how intimate the show feels, it is fake. It is all about going on one blind date after another as a group of people waits for you to come back to the van. Here is what a Redditor had to say about the show: “Most of the show is scripted. The producer would tell me a line and I’d be like, ‘what about this…’ They asked me if I would get down to my undies and I said yes. It kind of just happened.”
Next
Made
The show follows a hopeless teenager with goals and helps them hone the talents that they need to make their dreams come true. Some of the people on the show wanted to be a star athlete or a surfer. In reality, the featured teenagers are already skilled in the area. The inexperience is all for show!
Made
The X Factor
After leaving American Idol, Simon Cowell decided to create his very own talent show. Known as The X Factor, it is also said that the show preselected the people who make it to the stage! Aside from making things more interesting, this is a good way to avoid picking people with the same talents in a single episode. To be fair, this does make it more interesting to watch.
The X Factor
The Amazing Race
The show follows teams of two who are somehow related to each other as they compete in races and challenges across the globe. A lot of people believe that it is fake since people do not think that it is possible to travel so much for competitions like that. However, they have also noted how the teams have been chosen in a strategic manner. This was probably done to ensure that they have couples of various sexual orientations, ethnicities, and ages.
The Amazing Race
Guy’s Grocery Games
We do not know about you, but we think that Guy Fieri is an awesome person. The show is awesome since the unused food is given to organizations located in Sonoma County, California. However, the “grocery store” used by the participants to gather food is not what it seems. It is actually a set that has been decorated and stocked to look just like a proper shop.
Guy’s Grocery Games
Kourtney And Khloe Take Miami
The spinoff of the original Kardashian family show was only on the air for three seasons. It follows Khloe and Kourtney as they move to Miami to open a new DASH location. DASH is the boutique star that they own. Sadly, the show failed to hold the attention of fans and viewers. It looked like they preferred to just watch KUWTK, which is the reason it did not go on for longer than it could have had.
Kourtney And Khloe Take Miami
Counting On
The 19 Kids and Counting spinoff is not as real as the older show. It is sad that it is not as rooted in truth as the original. Reports claim that the show follows a script! This makes it less of a reality TV show and more like a fictional one. As a matter of fact, it has hired actors in the past as well.
Counting On
My Strange Addiction
Anyone who has seen an episode of the show knows that it can get very dramatic and over-the-top. The topics come in many forms. The list includes an addiction to eating paint, bee stings, being an adult baby, and the like. With that in mind, we are sure that the team dramatizes them more often than not.
My Strange Addiction
Sister Wives
This show has a lot of red flags that seem to suggest that it is nowhere near as factual as it pretends to be. Timelines do not always match, and the drama looks like it was started all for the sake of it. Worst of all, the folks on the show were not truly exiled! Is there even a single thing that is real about the show?
Sister Wives
Extreme Couponing
We should all try to save as much money as we could! If you are interested in saving money at the grocery, this might be the show for you. However, you should know that the show is staged. When you use coupons, it not uncommon for them to be expired or fake. Aside from that, people do not generally read the fine print! It does not seem right to hand over a hundred coupons and be able to use them all.
Extreme Couponing
Jon And Kate Plus 8
We want you to know that you are lucky if you have managed to escape learning about the drama on this show. If not, join the club. Anyway, the show has never really talked about how hard it is to raise eight kids. We really doubt that it is possible to do such a thing without running into problems. The children were real, of course, but the personalities and the premise of the show were fake.
Jon And Kate Plus 8
Cheer Perfection
This TLC show involves kids as well, but the parents on the show often get way too involved in their lives for it to be healthy. Fans think that they are merely acting because they tend to overdo it. The drama among the parents has a tendency to overshadow everything else on the show. Yes, even the dancing!
Cheer Perfection
Little People, Big World
Even though the majority of the show is rooted in reality, the youngest son in the family has once said that the “producers have to try to get us to follow the talking points.” Even though this does not mean that it is totally fake, it does make the show scripted. At the very best, it is unnatural.
Little People Big World
Gypsy Sisters
It turns out that there is nothing real about the show aside from the fact that they are sisters. If you watch this show, you will often find yourself thinking, “Did they really just do this?” It follows their lives, although it turns out that most of the things that take place are fake and staged.
Gypsy Sisters
America’s Next Top Model
It makes sense that this show will have its fair share of secrets. After all, it has been on the air for a very long time now. Even though it really does teach new skills to budding models, it is quite rare for anyone declared the victor to enjoy a truly successful modeling career. A lot of the decisions on the show have been rigged. On top of that, a lot of the situations are scripted and forced.
America’s Next Top Model
Botched
This fascinating program highlights terrible surgeries that medical professionals swoop in to fix. Many things that happen on the show are fabricated or false. The same rings true for the patients who appear on the show. The premise of the show might be true, but the crew on the show likes to add more medical gore and drama to keep the viewers hooked. We know that it is fake, but we can’t look away!
Botched
Exiled
Is there anything more amusing than seeing an entitled teen be shipped off to a poor country? It is done in the name of teaching them all about their privilege. Sadly, the show is not all that real. After all, there are way too many logistical errors and complications that would happen from doing such a thing. It is possible that they did go abroad, but we really doubt that this happened without their knowledge.
Exiled
Total Divas
The premise of this show is that it follows our favorite female wrestlers from WWE. We already know that the original show is fabricated, so there is no reason to believe that this one happens to be real. You only need to watch it to figure out that everyone on the show is following a script!
Total Divas
Very Cavallari
Like the first reality show with Kristin Cavallari, this show seems scripted as well. While there are BTS moments that make it seem real, fans have some reason to doubt its veracity. For one thing, all the drama and overreaction to small problems make them wonder just how real the show happens to be.
Very Cavallari
Flip It Like Disick
This is another spinoff show that materialized thanks to the popularity of KUWTK. It follows Scott Disick, who is the ex of Kourtney, as he embarks on a new endeavor: remodeling and flipping houses! He was a mainstay on the show for a long time, but it feels like his new show is staged and fake.
Flip It Like Disick
Bachelor In Paradise
This is yet another elimination-style dating show from ABC! It shows a lot of former contestants from the original TV shows as they try to look for love again. We already know that The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are staged and scripted, so it makes sense that this one would be too.
Bachelor In Paradise
Outdaughtered
The show follows the daily happenings in the Busby house. It is fascinating to see how the couple raises five young kids. Sadly, the show is very scripted and flawed. “We may have two big scenes in the show, but the producers may ask us to talk about a particular subject in one scene,” Adam Busby once said.
Outdaughtered
The Little Couple
Have you heard the reports that claim that this show is very scripted? As a matter of fact, viewers have no idea what part of it is real and what is not. Apart from that, the FBI has investigated the production company on charges of embezzlement. At any rate, it is clear to us that there is something wrong here.
The Little Couple
American Ninja Warrior
All right, there is no way that you can fake those athletic skills and strength. We are blown away by what they do on the show! On the other hand, however, it is annoying to hear that the show is not all that truthful. It turns out that a lot of things on the show are shot again and again until the cast gets it right.
American Ninja Warrior
Extreme Cheapskates
This TLC show is unable to keep it hidden that it follows a script. First of all, we just can’t find it in us to believe the spending habits that people on the show claim to have. We are not convinced that we can use hair in lieu of dental floss. On top of that, we feel like it is unreasonable to drive around looking for the cheapest ketchup bottle. After all, you will probably end up spending the savings on gas instead.
Extreme Cheapskates
Watch What Happens Live
What do you expect when you watch a TV show about the most famous stars in Hollywood? We are not surprised to hear that it is scripted in one way or another. Celebrities do not typically say everything that they want when the cameras are rolling! We doubt that they do it even on supposedly tell-all shows.
Watch What Happens Live
Below Deck
A lot of scenes on the show are heavily edited or cut out of it altogether. It is possible that what is happening to them is real, but you need to keep in mind that the show has been heavily edited. We are sure that this has altered the scenes in more ways than one. The real situations probably look different!
Below Deck
Millionaire Matchmaker
The Patti Stranger show is made up of things that do not normally make it to regular reality TV shows. Sadly, the show is actually full of lies. Her team is comprised of actors, and they hardly check the folks who appear on the show. It does not help that Patti herself does not practice what she preaches either. A lot of the people you see on the show join the team look for good entertainment and not true love.
Millionaire Matchmaker
Mama Medium
Mama Medium on TLC is bound to tug at the heartstrings of viewers. The drama follows Jennie Marie, an empathic psychic with a rare gift: she can communicate with the dead. Despite the fact that many people dismiss the idea of someone labeling Mama mediums fakes, Jennie chooses to ignore the critics and focus on keeping optimistic. Is Mama Medium the genuine deal or a hoax? It’s important for the audience to understand that it’s not terrifying or bad. It can be lighthearted and enjoyable. Everyone simply wants to be guided and validated.
Mama Medium
Paranormal Survivor
Paranormal Survivor’s first season included elements that made it appear amateurish. The majority of it was due to the use of re-enactors and some low-budget ghost effects. We’re guessing it’s because of financial constraints. Season two, on the other hand, has improved the situation. They’ve improved the special effects and re-enactments by hiring experienced actors. We’re awestruck by the acting talent, but it was the acting that brought the paranormal Survivor to life.
Paranormal Survivor
What On Earth
We were really looking forward to seeing the show because we thought they’d have some great top-secret information that we didn’t know about. They just show ridiculous objects with more stupid explanations for why they’re there. Not only that, but they have a staff of phony scientists, and to make matters worse, they reuse old information in new episodes. It’s horrible that they can call these new episodes and get away with it. You’ll get to the point faster and get better answers if you do some wiki searching and look at strange Google map pictures.
What On Earth
Selling Yachts
The show was interesting, and it included a variety of interior and exterior ships that could be decorated. However, we’ve seen a few more TV series and movies in which the buyers of these ships played the roles of actors. In the last four days, we’ve seen three of them in various roles in various shows. We enjoyed the show, so this was disappointing. It’s now staged and more like reality TV.
Selling Yachts
Ghost Brothers
Ghosts have never appeared on demand, and they never will. Does it matter whether Ghost Brothers is a fake if the program gives thrills and chills? The original Ghost Brothers starred Dalen Spratt, Juwan Mass, and Marcus Harvey, the first African-American paranormal research team on television.
Ghost Brothers
The Boonie
Four people who live off the grid and are distant from society are followed in this series. Bear Claw is a nomad who lives in the hills. Doc and Jeannie Leverett live above ground in north-eastern Washington State, while Dan and his family dwell on an island. Joe Ray lives in northern Arkansas’ underground caves. Each of the parties, in their own way, weaves a tale of the great American spirit and triumph over adversity. Mountain Bear Claw, who lives near Harpster on Lightning Ridge, is one of four characters on the National Geographic television show “The Boonies.”
The Boonie
Renovation Realities
Renovation Realities is not scripted, according to host Farr, and the homeowners’ reactions to renovation realities and bad news are very real. Whether you like it or not, it’s hardly the first show that’s been chastised for a perceived lack of authenticity.
Renovation Realities
Paternity Court
Is Paternity Court a staged production? All televised ‘courts’ are pre-recorded. It’s not a court, and it’s a binding arbitration in which the arbitrator is paid from advertising sales rather than arbitration costs because the binding arbitration will be televised. The two people are real. They signed a contract with the station and production business, and they are entitled to no more than $5,000 in compensation, with the possibility of receiving nothing if the Judge determines they are simply trying to scam the system.
Paternity Court
Auction Hunters
You read the following introduction at the start of each episode: “Each year Allen Haff and Ton Jones dig through hundreds of unclaimed storage units hunting for discarded treasures. These are the stories of their most rare and valued discoveries.” Each episode appears to be a replay of authentic true-life events, according to the program. No, it’s not real; Auction Hunters is a staged production. The show’s stars are Allen and Clinton Jones, both of whom are actors. All of the storage units are set up, with items that are miraculously priceless.
Auction Hunters
Solitary TV Show
The theme of the Solitary TV Show is solitary imprisonment. All of the candidates are placed in separate pods and must converse with an AI named Val. It’s a reality show called Solitary. Their candidates were kept in solitary confinement 24 hours a day, seven days a week for several weeks in order to be the last contestant in solitary for a $50,000 prize.
Solitary TV Show
The Dead Files
The physical medium Amy Allan and an ex-NYPD homicide detective named Steve star in The Dead Files TV show, and they always perform separate investigations of the different sites before meeting up at the conclusion of each episode to compare notes. Otherwise, it’s similar to other paranormal TV shows, which means there’s little reason to believe it’s real.
The Dead Files
The Wall Game
So I was surfing through the channels tonight and came across The Wall. After the commercial break, there was a cliffhanger at the end of the broadcast. If the father didn’t rip up the contract, $1.4 million was on the line. Since it’s the first episode back, I figured the producers would want a “viral” moment, so I figured GMA and other talk shows would give free publicity, as well as the tweets the next morning. I knew they were going to win the big prize at some point. That night, the producers put on a show.
The Wall Game
Love Is Blind
Love Is Blind is not at all scripted, and I believe the show is real, at least to some extent. Everything surrounding the couples and their engagement was absolutely true, according to the producers, competitors, and the contestants’ friends and families. According to reports, there was apprehension that the show would be too real and that the show’s truth would be its undoing.
Love Is Blind
Siesta Key
Siesta Key, MTV’s reality show, will return for a fourth season, although not in its original Florida setting. According to reports, filming will begin in Sarasota before moving to an international exclusive resort where the cast and staff will be sequestered together during filming. Juliette, Madison, Kelsey, Chloe, Brandon, Amanda, and Garrett all make a cameo appearance on the episode. However, there are numerous debates concerning whether or not the Siesta Key is real.
Siesta Key
The Healer
If you’ve seen TLC’s The Healer, you’ve undoubtedly had a few different reactions. What is the name of this dashing and attractive Australian? Other than that, there’s no way The Healer is real, right? Charlie is the focus of The Channel’s newest reality show, which follows the energy healer on his quest for energy healing. Of course, over the years, Charlie Goldsmith and his practice have been faced with some suspicion. However, after discovering his alleged gift at the age of 18, he has claimed that it can all be proven true through the miracles of science.
The Healer
60 Days In
60 Days In began in 2016, and the show’s producers have said numerous times that the show is not scripted. There’s a reason why this docuseries has amassed such a large following in recent years. According to the executive producer, productions about prisons are often prejudiced, depending on who is interviewed. You can either acquire information from the criminal’s point of view or from the prison officer’s perspective, which are (naturally) at odds.
60 Days In
Running Man
Yes and no are the answers. It is scripted to a certain extent. Yoo Jae Suk previously claimed in an interview that if the variety show producer claims it isn’t written, it implies they lied. Even in the PPL, Jaesuk chastises those who exaggerate about the PPL.
Running Man
Drunk History
Drunk History does a good job of making history entertaining, but is it scripted or staged? Drunk History flips that paradigm on its head by reviving oral history. The show enables actual emotions to be expressed through drunken retellings. The Drunk History presentation has educated audiences on a variety of topics and has delved into lesser-known histories, such as that of Grandmaster Flash.
Drunk History
Are You The One
Are there any Are You the One followers who believe the dating program is scripted since the drama never ends? That appears to be the case, but former cast members have spoken out about their experiences and said the show is real. Producers capture moments shared between them, despite the fact that certain reality television has a reputation for being phony because of Are You the One. Many viewers have asked me if the show Are You The One is real or not. It’s all scripted.’ There’s nothing scripted about it.
Are You The One
Nathan For You
Nathan Fielder is the only continuously planned character, according to Fielder and the creators of Nathan for You, yet he also routinely improvises owing to the unpredictable nature of the series. Everything about the show is true – even Fielder admits that he is portraying an exaggerated version of himself because he has struggled with social anxiety for years. Their reactions to Nathan’s strange statements are quite real, which is what makes the show so amusing.
Nathan For You
First 48
The first 48 is a heavily edited show. There isn’t a single scripted scene on The First 48. Another factor that contributes to its appeal is the absence of a script. As a result, First 48 is a true reality show in every meaning of the word. Unlike other so-called reality shows that are now airing.
First 48
Bruno
Bruno is a documentary-style film. Bruno is a gay fashion journalist who is oblivious to his own shallowness. He migrates to Los Angeles after disrupting a fashion presentation and becoming persona non grata in the fashion industry. From recording a sex DVD to negotiating peace in the Middle East, he vows to do whatever it takes to become famous.
Bruno
16 Pregnant
When MTV aired 16 and Pregnant in 2009, it pushed the reality TV genre in a controversial new direction by portraying the real-life hardships of teens dealing with unwanted pregnancies. The show, which The New York Times described as “a documentary-style series about real-life Junos,” was a hit for MTV, which had long abandoned its heyday of music videos in favor of reality programming.
16 Pregnant
Cash Cab
Reactions vary, as viewers of the show are well aware. They can be anything from indifferent to ecstatic. Above all, the majority of competitors appear shocked that they happened to hail a cab that turned out to be a game show set. That’s why it’s difficult to accept that some people on Cash Cab are pre-selected.
Cash Cab
Moonshiners
Magilla Entertainment, a New York-based production firm, is behind Moonshiners. They’re behind a slew of successful reality TV shows currently dominating the airwaves, as well as a slew of deceptive “scripted reality” shows. The show dramatizes their efforts to produce liquor, as well as their methods of escaping the law and everyday life. Local officials have said that the show isn’t exactly what it appears to be. The persons shown in the show are not producing any illegal booze, according to Virginia authorities.
Moonshiners
Fixer Upper
Even before the start of filming, the homeowners featured on the show have already purchased the house! It means that they are only ever faking it when they choose among the houses at the beginning of each episode. The furniture and décor picked out and arranged by Joanna are not part of their budget either, so they do not really keep these items unless they pay more. On top of that, the entire house is not really redone. It is also said that Chip does not work on the house if the cameras are not there.
Fixer Upper
