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?
