The so-called reality TV shows are of course not reality at all. They are all staged, scripted, and pre-ordained. House Hunters is a great example. The houses are all pre-selected and in some cases they have existing tenants and just "borrowed" the house for the show.
This RV show is no different and nothing new. It all depends on whether you want to waste a half hour or hour of your life watching 20 minutes of program and 40 minutes of commercials or do something productive like washing your hair.
I have to agree, with the exception of one reality show that is NOT scripted. Cajun Pawn Stars is not scripted and the antics that occurred we strictly created by the cast on the show. How do I know? This Spring we drove to Alexandria, LA and visited them. The people working there are ... real people. However, they also told us that A&E Network was pulling the show unless they got nasty, created conflict, and tossed out the religious overtones. When we visited them, they were unwilling to bend to pre-planned scripting and religion was something they valued to high to stoop to trash television. Well, ever since we got back home from our trip to Louisiana, I've not seen the show on television. Looks like Cajun Pawn Stars got pulled and they were unable to contract with another network.
So yea, I agree 100%. These reality shows are scripted! They're not "real'.
