What actually makes us addicted to reality TV shows exactly? Is it the outrageous way the producers involve love, humor and emotions? We will never truly find out all the dirty deeds that these reality television producers come up with. Why? Well because the “real” in reality wouldn’t mean anything. Once you have signed a document for a reality show you have basically signed your life away. Reality TV shows have many secrets involved with their contest. You may then find yourself wondering how these contestants don’t release these scams the producers have put them through. But that’s simple, if the ex-contestants don’t have about 5 million dollars lying around then they are forced to keep their secrets to themselves.
There are many different secrets that reality TV does not announce about them, some good and others bad. I had found a website that shows a bunch of listed secrets. I will tell you about the ones I found interesting. On the show “Flip this house” one of the second season star, Sam Leccima didn’t even have a real estate license while the show was being filmed it had been taken away for proposing bad business deals. “What Not to Wear” doesn’t actually throw the participants clothes out in the garbage but donates the reasonable clothing to New York Charities. The audiences from Maury are all mostly actors and actresses so when you see someone acting absurd usually they are the “fake” guests.
The background checks involved with reality television could be easily classified as a joke. At one instant a contestant in 2001’s Big Brother had a knife held up to her throat by another cast member. In that case the member that had the knife had previously been arrested for assault and theft charges. The case was later dealt with the court.
