Fans of “Britain’s Got Talent” mostly tune in to watch Simon Cowell get paid almost $100 million per year to dish out creative criticism to the show’s participants.
Unfortunately, it was revealed that some of the show’s talents are fake, with producers doing everything they can to make sure things stay interesting. We can’t say we’re that surprised.
Mob Wives
"Mob Wives" basically took a bunch of rugged, tough women from Staten Island, N.Y. that were married to mobsters and pitted them against each other. Many of the show's events were staged or produced.
Most of its participants don’t actually frequent together, so the producers essentially created various dramatic scenes and fights between them.
Toddlers and Tiaras
There’s something extremely cringe-inducing about "Toddlers and Tiaras", a show which takes the already debatable idea of having adults argue on TV for entertainment, and makes children do it instead.
However, many of the show’s participants and former staff came forward and claimed that the show is largely scripted, with the drama mostly being fake.
The Apprentice
Years before Donald Trump became President, he was polishing his acting skills. The show made him almost as popular as Oprah. It revolves around Trump interviewing candidates for a chance to work for him.
Many of the show’s firing scenes were highly exaggerated, and participants knew ahead of time that they were about to get the ax.
Property Brothers
Another sad case of fake reality TV is the popular real-estate show, "Property Brothers". It follows the lovable Canadian brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott, as they broker home sales from start to finish.
The brothers allegedly only renovate a portion of the houses. Additionally, many of the exchanges are often shot several times to get the best dramatic effect.
