19. Deadliest Catch
‘Deadliest Catch’ brings the drama even just in the title of the show. Widely known for their fabricated drama, the best kept secret is that the show is actually causing some issues for the fishing industry itself. TV fishing crews get paid well to be on the show, which means they can focus their energy on it as an acting gig, rather than on meeting their daily quotas in order to earn a living. Astonishingly, the extra income allows them to price out regular fishermen and subsequently everyone finds it harder to earn a living. Dramatic storylines in tow, the fake storms that are often fused together to showcase one mega-storm in final edit are nothing in comparison to the disaster that the program may spell for the local fishing community in the long run.

20. Bridezilla
Ever watched ‘Bridezilla’ and wondered how anyone could marry such a toxic person to begin with? That’s exactly the point. The melodrama is taken to new heights at the request of producers, and people are cast based on their ability to bring shocking and entertaining moments to the episode. Producers do what they can to make people angrier or get them to cry, and often these scenes are shot time and time again. The more swear words they can include, the better. As you can imagine, even just being followed around by a TV crew as you prepare for your big day can add to the anxiety and stress, which is why so many participants look back and struggle to recognize themselves in the versions they are being portrayed as on screen.
