Arrow Staged Reality

Do you ever get the feeling from some of these so called reality shows. That things are obviously staged. No matter how hard they try to make it pure reality it won't happen. If there are cameras in peoples faces 24-7 they are going to put on a front. Now hidden cameras would be a cool idea. They eventually they would forget about them and act normal. Just a though.

Reality shows are completely staged.

Too many "Model Actress Whatever" types have ruined things.

I dont think they are necessarily staged, but not all reality TV is real! As for contest shows (American Idol, etc.) I dont think they are rigged, but I sometimes think they are tampered with.

Reality shows are far from reality but I still love them. I don't think the shows are staged but I feel producers show certain things to give us certain opiniones about certain people
