This makes me wonder if shows like Deadliest Catch or Property Brothers actually "jazz up" the show with some light scripting the way shows like The Real World famously did. 🤔
I have family that works in visual effects and have worked on a lot of reality shows. To say shoes are scripted is putting it ridiculously mildly. Entire episode runs are planned out, meticulously. Almost nothing is left to chance/genuine.
It's television. You figure it out.
Reality TV != realityAbsolutely! They all do it, either through directly telling the participants to say specific things, or by nudging them in that direction.
