[quote=earlyretirement]Reality TV is all fairly fake. All these shows. Especially those shows on HGTV.[/quote]
A nephew worked on reality tv sets (electrician) for years. Totally fake. Remember trading spaces? He did a few seasons of that. They’d have all the crew doing painting, etc… to meet the timeline. And any wall sconce you saw – no wiring done… so they’d have to put small battery operated spots inside to make them look “functional”.
And I’ve talked to folks who’ve done Househunters Int’l. Basically the home’s already purchased or under contract… then they fake take the “buyers” to places to make it look like they’re shopping. And tell them what to say, etc.
