23. The Real Housewives
‘The Real Housewives’ may have a hard time defending itself against accusations that it isn’t scripted. Aside from having “real” in the name of the show – which is somewhat laughable – cast member Terese Giudice from the New Jersey version of the series was forced to swear under oath that the show was scripted during real life court proceedings. Naturally, fights are planned and dramatized for TV, with the show doing its best not to reveal that many of the cast members may project living lavishly, but underneath the surface they often face huge financial strain. Any takers for this kind of lifestyle after all?

24. Naked and Afraid
While contestants really are out in the wilderness and naked during filming, some former contestants on ‘Naked & Afraid’ have admitted that the camera crew, as well as nearby civilization, really hurts the impression that you are as alone as the show makes it out to be. One past contestant even recalls hearing a DJ playing club music nearby one night, as well as running into local kids out to play soccer during filming. As with any reality show, the program focuses on smart editing and producers doing what they can to get the shots that they need as part of a broader narrative for the episode.
