7. Fixer Upper
While ‘Fixer Upper’ is not as staged as some of the other renovations shows on the market, it still manages to make the list for some of the antics adopted by producers to create “real life” reality television. One example of this is when hosts Chip and Joanna reveal the renovated house to the family at the end of the episode, when in fact, most of the furniture ends up right back on the moving truck once production wraps. Participants have spoken out about the fact that everything does happen in real time, but are quick to note that they are often asked to repeat certain things so producers can attain the desired effect. It’s safe to say that this show should come with a “based on true events” notice before each of the episodes kick off.
