It has long been no secret that when shooting reality shows, ready-made scripts are used. They unconditionally believe what they show on the screen.
But most of the shows would not cause any interest from the audience if the script was absent. Imagine "House-2" without scandals and fights. Will this show be popular if there are no quarrels, scandals, betrayals, tears and suffering?
The viewer wants to see some events. If calm, kind, nice people build “love,” “Home” will turn into a paradise on Earth, where the lucky ones live their lives under the gun of cameras.
Yes, of course, you can watch the show a couple of times, be happy for the participants, but after a few issues the audience will choose another program. This also applies to many other similar programs. If you're curious about how reality shows are actually filmed, read our article.
10. Bachelor
This reality show, many girls are waiting with bated breath. It’s a real fairy tale, but for someone it will come true. The lucky girl will be the chosen one of the famous bachelor. But the tale ends before it starts.
Already at the casting, many girls are screened out. To increase the rating of reality shows, famous girls are invited, for example, models. Among the remaining applicants choose the most extraordinary: an interesting appearance, a difficult fate. But as for the show, it is almost completely rigged.
Girls are told how to behave and what to say. Often, with the help of editing, they simulate situations that actually did not exist. By the way, many think that the participants in the show lived like in a fairy tale, but the girls refute this information. Many of them faced household problems, such as a lack of hot water, a queue in the bathroom, and problems with food.
9. Voice
The creators of this reality show do not deceive viewers. Everything happens exactly as shown on TV. That's just at the casting those participants are selected who can interest the audience.
If a person just sings well, he will not be selected for filming. Preference is given to extraordinary individuals who have an unusual timbre of voice, an interesting appearance or profession.
Many viewers are amazed how with such a busy schedule, mentor stars manage to set aside time for communication and rehearsals with the participants. In fact, most of the time the participants are vocal teachers, not mentors.
8. Who wants to become a millionaire?
Many viewers are concerned about the question: is it really possible to win a large sum of money on a show? Yes it is. Only earlier, ordinary people participated in the reality show, and recently, viewers are increasingly seeing celebrities. Apparently, the organizers are thus trying to raise the rating of the program.
Not everyone will be able to win. The player wins or loses, the project manager decides. Getting into reality is not so easy, you need to pass a test. Some comers passed the test several times, but could not get on the show. Most likely, their candidacy did not fit the role of the player "Who wants to become a millionaire?"
7. Hellish cuisine
This show is one of the few that does not need a script. Two teams of professional chefs are fighting to win. The famous chef Gordon Ramsay sets the heat for the participants. He yells at them, makes fun of him, humiliates him in every possible way.
The reason may be incorrectly chopped vegetables or lack of salt in the dish. In addition, the crew uses various methods to complicate the work of cooks. Participants have a hard time, all their emotions are real. They do not pretend, do not cry and are not happy at the command. These are cooks, not actors.
6. The battle of psychics
Perhaps around this reality show, there are most rumors. People have always been interested in sorcerers and psychics. But not everything is so sad, among psychics with TNT there are those who have magical abilities, but only very few of them.
To make the show more interesting to watch, they pick up images, appropriate clothes, and also compose a story. The rest of the participants are freaks and ordinary people who dream of becoming famous. It is unfortunate that the reality show gives hope to people who have lost loved ones and have experienced great grief. After all, psychics often can not help them. Rumor has it that you can become a participant in the "Battle of psychics" by paying a certain amount.
5. Top American Model
The idea of creating the show belongs to the famous supermodel Tyre Banks. Every American girl with the right parameters wants to get on this show. But out of a large number of participants, not one became a famous model. Tyra answered that she did not promise anyone a modeling career, but the girls became personalities. Perhaps the supermodel is referring to strength of character.
Indeed, the participants will now endure everything. The fact is that Banks behaved rudely, called names for girls, harshly criticized, and humiliated. However, after recording the program, she apologized and said: "This is just a business." If a girl wants to build a modeling career, participation in the show "Top Model in American" will not bring her closer to her cherished goal.
4. The last hero
Another reality show that was not staged. It was often said that participants live in comfortable conditions, and everything that happens on the screen is just a staging. This is not true, the hotel was on a neighboring island, there was a film crew. The participants lived on the island, it was not easy for them. Nevertheless, the film crew helped the participants a bit, they could leave the lighter so that the players would light a bonfire or share a candy. At the voting, they did not exert any pressure on the participants; they made all decisions independently.
3. Wheelbarrow for pumping
In the 2000s, all male representatives watched this reality show. Still, from the old car made a real "candy." In fact, everything was not as it was shown on TV.
Many cars were not in such a "killed" state initially, they were brought into an inappropriate form, so that the difference "before" and "after" was noticeable more. And there was nothing to envy here, the car was "pumped" only outside. After the shooting, all the expensive parts were filmed. For drivers, they also came up with various stories to make the reality show arouse more interest.
2. Fashionable sentence
Fans of the “Fashion Sentence” must have noticed that each participant has her own sentimental story. Forced to upset you, most of these stories are staged. The heroines come up with various problems and complexes, which they safely get rid of, having received a set of clothes from stylists. The things that a woman receives as a gift were bought not in expensive boutiques, but in mass markets.
1. Take it off immediately!
Another reality show about fashion and style. Two charming girls make the heroines get rid of the old wardrobe and start a new life. Old clothes are really taken away.
Each participant is presented with a card on which lies a large amount of money for purchases. Unfortunately, with this money you must pay a tax, and most of them should be given to a seamstress, which adjusts the purchased items to the figure of the participant.
Girls who are fortunate enough to participate in the show admit that filming is very tiring. The stylists did not always treat them with understanding, they were often nervous and frustrated over trifles, although on TV they show that they are always friendly and nice.
