Of course there are secrets behind every reality show! Did you know that producers love flawed contestants? Sure it may come as no surprise, but when producers are making the final casting choices for their shows, they tend to lean towards contestant who are, let’s just say…interesting. The most compelling shows have flawed characters! Did you know that even shows you wouldn’t expect would be edited are highly edited? Shows like Cake Boss are often manipulated to create more drama.

It’s Ironic how fake reality TV can be

[jdb]

No Reality show is 100% real. But some are more real than others.

i had a friend who auditioned for american idol. she can sing. she may not be gammy worthy, but has talent. she was heartbroken as she saw sideshow clowns get picked over her just because it would make for great tv when they got rejected.

[ColonelFrontline]

You know a reality show is fake when it says it's " *a reality show* ".

Also with the home improvement shows, most of the families can no longer afford to live in the houses because their property taxes increase drastically after the improvements.

that cooking one is kind of obvious....I mean, you really think they come up with those recipes (depending on what they are, maybe) AND those designs (if there is one) in those few seconds before the host says go?? Like on Cupcake Wars or Cake Wars, they immediately have the designs all ready and whatever stand they need in mind....they're obviously told the ingredients and/or the theme before hand.

Who on earth still believes the so-called reality shows are actually “real”? 🤣

My parents are probably the only ones who never fell asleep watching house hunting shows....because they love interior design and simply furniture - so much they change the layout of their room every couple of monts. 😐

[delcodave]

so, basically, this was an 8 minute promotion for the tv series "unreal"?

[CodyWhitlock]

Reality Tv is so Toxic, but I still love watching it 🙄😂😂

[susanhigh]

Shipping wars was the worst. Those drivers lost so much money.

[Vobatho]

It’s called shocking reality show secrets but number 10 starts off, “this one comes as no surprise”. 🤔🤷‍♀️

[MERCHIODOS]

One of my sister's friend who has a good voice audition for X factor and she got rejected because her back story wasn't "sad" enough 😒

[Betterthingswecanachieve]

Good video but nothing shocking. I try to explain to my friends about editing but they never believe me.

[dashingdreww]

Lol fun fact when I was a kid I used to think why would people watch House hunters ? It’s boring but now that I am older I watch it and i am actually interested in it lmfao

[Zodia]

#3 doesn't surprise me in the least because I remember at one point of watching Cupcake wars and hearing the theme and secret ingredient, I did think, "How is it that these contestants seem to know what what stuff to bring to go with it?" So it's nice to see my hunch was right.

I stopped watching shows like the Bachelor years ago when I did pick up on some of the secrets that were mentioned here. I do still watch certain reality TV shows though, but they're all competition ones and all involve something creative- RuPaul Drag Race, Face/Off, ANTM, and Project Runway to name a few.

[tinapongyan]

you should have named this video "Unreal" and "the bachelor" promotions

[mikayla]

my friends, sisters, friend is an extremely talented singer, but wasnt allowed past the audition because she didnt have an "interesting enough" backstory

[itsjustbrandy]

Oh shit! I forgot about the show UnReal! I need to check it out again.

[evansteiner]

I Was Into watching Fear Factor when it was on NBC back in the day

[evansteiner]

Survivor The Amazing Race /The Amazing Race Canada Are the only Reality Shows I watch (Reality Competition Shows)
