incredibly accurate.

I was an audience member at an X-Factor recording a few years ago. Before the show even got started, they told us to cheer for random things. For example, early on an announcer would list all the months of the year, and audience members had to cheer as loud as possible when their birthday months were mentioned. I'm guessing that footage was later edited to make it look like we were cheering for certain contestants.

This show like many seems to be made specifically to appeal to the audience as when a new season's on, everyone's Twitter & FB pages light up like Christmas lights and the page is updated during or shortly after the airing. I can only imagine the chaos when this garbage hits VH1 in 2 weeks.

Last night, my boyfriend and I had one of those moments where we were reminded that everything in a reality show is manufactured. Skin Wars, second to last episode of the first season, Shannon (I think) is talking about her mother praying for her to win and the audio editing was so bad, it was incredibly obvious that all those words were spliced together like a Frankenstein's monster of a sentence. The inflection on the last word in the sentence made it clear that if that word were in context in the original sentence it came from, she would have said more afterwards, but the edit just cut her off right there.

Matthew Garrette i feel like the internet is proving what a lie everything in life is

You don't even go into probably the most insidious part of basically every reality show. The contract. First there's almost always a willful misrepresentation clause, so that when the show tweaks and edits the footage and dub overs to make you look like an borderline sociopath, you can't sue them for libel. (example: in a reality show where they were looking to cast the lead in a Broadway musical, they made it look like a contestant was bullimic. In reality, she was sick in the bathroom because of food poisoning. This was a professional actress who had trained hard to get a career on the stage. This could have damaged her career because other professional who saw that, could see here as a liability) And the control they have over your life between filming and it airiing on TV is truly terrifying. Worst case scenario. Najai Turpin was a contestant on Boxing competition "The Contender" produced and hosted by Sylvester Stallone. He was eliminated early, but their contract stated that until the show was picked up and aired, he couldn't do any boxing (cause it would spoil the shows finale). It was months before the show was picked up by a network, and by then he had committed suicide out of the combined stress of not being able to do his freaking job, and marital struggles. He's not the only one either.

My favorite reality show trick is when two people are having a conversation and one person (never in the same frame) is eavesdropping around the corner.

seriously, this show needs a full series. There is SO much fodder to pick apart the STUPID tactics they use... maybe we can just watch people cook food w/o the fake countdowns and shit?

I was actually in the audience for a Chelsea Lately taping where Bobby Lee was a guest on. They have this guy that addresses the crowd before the actual show starts to basically coach the entire audience in what reactions we were supposed to have. The whole experience was weird because half the time I wasn't even paying attention to the jokes but just the guy who would tell us what emotions we were supposed to convey or I would hear a genuinely funny joke but knew I had to laugh so I forced it like 200% more.

Or how some people don't get that a video might actually necessitate actually watching it, but either people are lazy or are non conformists while simultaneously not able to learn of subtle clues that reveal when a video will be without a narrator after years of videos in that format, such as the date it comes out on, or the title, and feel the urge to point out their flaw as that of the creators, who actually put time and effort into making a video that the criticizer never actually watched?

On one episode of Kitchen Nightmares, they went to a restaurant called Finn McCool's, owned by a retired cop whose son auditioned for Hell's Kitchen and, while they liked him, they didn't think he was the right fit for HK, so they had him on KN. There's one scene where one of the line chefs drops a piece of chicken on the floor and then plops it back into the deep fryer. That guy was not an employee of the restaurant, but put there by the production company, because Finn McCool's turned out to be an already fairly competently run restaurant.

Every single one of her lines was scripted. I saw the episode once and it was hilarious as it included phrases I’d never heard her say before.

When my friends were on Bar Rescue, all they got out of it was a box of spherical ice that cost $8 apiece, and a few beer dispensing machines that were illegal to use in that county. In exchange for that, they had to completely lie and make themselves seem worse than they were. It's absolutely completely and totally fake.

House Hunters makes sense though because buying a house takes longer than then 3 days and it would cost too much money to film in houses still on the market with people who may end up getting rejected by the bank. That's why all HGTV shows require you to be in escrow first. The friend thing is ludicrous. House Hunter International is cool even if it's fake decision because learning about the housing market in Lisbon or whatever is still real.

After that we knew it was all fake. She still watches it a lot. Now when I pass by it's " Which house is theirs" instead of " which house should they pick"

We recently had an American idol audition come by Oklahoma and after hearing from a few friends that tried out I learned that they’re looking more for sad stories and talent. Not just talent

Do these guys just take the best performing articles and then decide which ones get made into videos? I'm pretty sure I've read a cracked article about this.

Cracked has definitely talked about House Hunters being fake in another video, I'm not sure about the other stuff though. Personally I just view these and the text-based videos as filler that keeps the channel active between their more production-heavy shows.

I feel like they've talked about the Apprentice, too, in another video.

well the speed of which an article can be made is only a fraction of that which goes into making a video. For an article you need one person and an internet connection. For the videos you need a team of camera operators, sound technicians, editors, scriptwriters, actors, makeup artists, plus all the equipment and software (not cheap). So they could invest more into starting story lines that aren't based off of articles they have written and have a good chance that multiple scripts will flop after countless hours of research and writing, or they can build upon the premise of an article they know people are interested in and have a portion of the script already laid out for them. If you ask me, that's a pretty sound business decision to my ears.

Only the one? Usually there are at least 5 other article about the same subject. Or covers the same details partially etc. I don't ind though, there usually is at least one piece of new information and repitition helps me remember the events.

No i aint talking shit, now. lol. its a good idea. I just vaguely remember a cracked article where they talk about how like, reality shows without background music and sound effects are totally different, and a bunch of other stuff about how they script and re-take scenes and stuff... was it a John Cheese article? John Cheese is the greatest. lol

Thank you Cracked crew for talking me out of auditioning for the Voice. I don't need that kind of disrespect from TV producers or anyone for that matter.

Nicely done. This was another great spit take

CNN told me this was fake news and reality tv shows are legit.................bwahahahahahahaaaaaa!

CNN, FOX, MSNBC, all have their own ideological spin on things. It's only been more apparent to some recently about CNN. There isn't a credible new channel left on television.

It's always been that, it's just more spoken/noticeable about now because of 24 hour news. Ben Franklin used his news papers for personal political goals. Also to make marijuana illegal so hemp wouldn't cut into his paper and cotton businesses.

"The X gesture, which, looks like they're saluting the emperor in some sci-fi dystopia". Does the X gesture to myself and laughs, with the video paused, then looks around to make sure no one was here. ... I need friends...

Damn it, the Beaver reference is going to have me laughing at random intervals during the day.

"You're an ugly color" HAHA!

I know a singer who made it to top 50 in American Idol, she was seen on camera for 0.5 seconds the whole season. She also had to sign a contract saying she wouldn't work for or sign any other contracts for two years if she made it to television. It's all a scam.

Survivor only uses stunt doubles for challenges during the aerial shots because its pretty easy to see the camera crew when you’re shooting in the middle of the jungle.

Lol, this was really great. Didn't expect it to be worth watching but it was, thanks! 👏💖

Moral of the story: if you sign up to participate in "reality" TV, YOU ARE PLAYING A CHARACTER ON A TV SHOW. Just because there may be real world implications, it doesn't change the fact that you there to provide content for entertainment, regardless of how they wish to present you.

Awesome, more episodes please

This is beyond true, I was on a reality show and it was legit the most disappointing experience smh

THANK YOU, for doing THIS video specifically. You guys are on the ball.

I love this channel!

I worked on a construction crew that renovated houses for TV shows that showcased FLIPPING HOUSES. They would film the house before anything was done, we would come in and do the demo work, then the hosts would come in and pretend to be finishing the rest of the demo. Then we would build and pre assemble portions of the new work and prep it with pre-drilled holes so the hosts could pretend to install it. It is hilarious how little any of these people actually know about construction

I didn't know that about American Idol, thanks for more info Cracked!

I worked the regional auditions for one of the dancing shows and they had people who showed up to multiple auditions throughout the country. They'd pick the better story over the better dancer often and they flew out a gay ballroom couple to audition so that one of the hosts could backtrack and explain comments he made earlier in the season about how he didn't get gay ballroom couples which got him in trouble with Perez Hilton. Remember that guy!?

Nice and informative, thanks!

I live in the town where Amish Mafia “takes place”. “Lebanon Levi” used to drink at a bar a few miles from my home. No one knew this until the show aired. Because until the show aired, no one heard of him or any of them

my new favorite channel

I love you cracked!

My family and i went to a taping of the Maury Show about 2 years ago. there was a dude in front that told us how to react and to certain things and when. He said that no matter how you actually feel, just follow the crowd. one or two of the "guests" for that episode actually ended up taking the bus back home with us. Least the pizza was endless and yummy and we got free t-shirts

The Citizen Kane reference at the end was great.

Ok, well, Bill Nye really did revive his media career by appearing on DWTS... that and his Ken Hamm debate around the same time lead to him building a big social media following, doing interviews, and finally getting his own show(s) again. It's actually pretty cool.
