      Gordon is different. They actually had to reign him in at times. XD His mother had to tell him to chill out, because the producers on one of his shows were pulling their hair out with all his cursing. I think he liked to go off script a lot, too. As far as I'm aware, only American producers were brave enough to let him loose on set, where we got to see him in his full glory. 😂

    This reminds me of the time my mom had to opportunity to call a celebrity “live” on one of those morning talk shows. Her original question was something super normal like “how to do you manage your work and home life” or something like that but when she spoke to the producer on the phone before the show they asked her to say a predetermined question that was something really inappropriate, but she went through with it because she wanted to be on tv and speak to an actor. The celebrity was sooo uncomfortable with the question, you could tell it was really embarrassing for her (you’d think she’d have a predetermined reply too right?) and my mom regrets agreeing to it to this day. In conclusion i hate television.

      Same as all the fake af "questions" that Andy Cohen poses to the real housewives, either at the reunion shows or on the WWHL episodes. I've seen the faces some of the housewives make when he's reading the questions, weird almost eye rolling smirks/smiles, because they know. There is no "Jeanine from Wichita" who wants to know blah blah blah. It's Andy and/or the show's producers crafting really shady questions because they want to segueway into certain controversial plot point happenings.

    A friend of mine was on one of these shows, a televised singing contest. She wound up being the last person under 18 on the show, and the producers wanted an adult to win. The singers were supposed to choose a song to perform every week, and then be judged. To get her off the show, the producers specifically chose a song that didn't suit her voice or style, and then had her eliminated because the song didn't suit her.

    Can totally confirm a lot of these. The clothes, the holding area, the nurse giving shots, also them making up narratives, they legitimately created an entire story of my life something about me being a children’s volunteer and I dressed as a clown to entertain the kids at the place that I volunteered at. Literally none of that was true. I was a early 20 something professional hip hop dancer that had already been on a world tour and a bunch of other smaller ones, dozens of music videos etc. I didn’t even want to go on the show. I was approached because I was already established and professional level. I was a contestant on SYTYCD in one of the early seasons. Made it to Vegas then essentially quit because I was tired of the fake stuff and the rigging. Had an argument with Nigel and got sent home.

    Someone from my hometown was on Masterchef a few years ago. They set him as the clear winner at the beginner but then he slowly took a turn for the worst toward the top 5. He still was second runner up, but what was shitty was that he is HIGHLY allergic to shellfish and they made him cook it not only once but 2 or 3 times, and he didn’t want to drop out so he would cook it with gloves and then in between takes, he would have to go off to the side and have the medics give him epi-pen injections to open his throat back up so he could continue cooking the shellfish… Jesus.
    I was on a reality show when I was a kid as well and I was shocked at how everything was filmed and planned and the dialogue that’s supposed to sound natural. And how they said they weren’t going to re-film anything or do any second takes but they would if it wasn’t to their standard.

    Omg I was actually a contestant on that season of Master Chef Junior when I was 11! Crazy that this came up on my recommended page. I don’t think this video is entirely accurate tho, but it’s not the CZcamsr’s fault really as reality TV is pretty secretive in its practices. Most of us genuinely did love cooking, myself included. And I can confirm more than half of us were NOT child actors. The winner of that season was really awkward on camera and only cared about cooking good food, didn’t even want the fame. I'm pretty sure he even started his own bakery after the show. The child actors (like Nate) actually got weeded out really quickly in the first few challenges because the producers realized they weren’t really passionate about cooking. Me and the other top 12 contestants all didn’t really like them because we could tell how unauthentic they were.
    For the mystery box challenges, we only know 1 day in advance. I think that’s pretty fair given we are literally 8-11 years old. We are not given weeks as this guy would have u believe. So this guy is really exaggerating. But yes, all reality TV is fake in some way or another and that is what makes it fun. In a way, this CZcamsr is doing the same thing, exaggerating for effect to make an exciting video. Just food for thought.

      I'm glad you popped up in these comments because I've had a question since the first episode I watched:
      How much help do the kids get behind the scenes? I know most of them are very talented, but come on!
      Some of those dishes they served up left me saying, "Yeah, right...there HAS to be some adult help going on."

    • @TechnoVisionTV
      @TechnoVisionTV Před 3 lety +1191

      @@Cautionary_Tale_Harris The day before each challenge, we were given one session with an adult to help us brainstorm ideas for the mystery box. Ultimately though, we were the ones coming up with the dishes and making them. If u watch closely, u can notice a few mistakes here and there. For example, Sarah accidently used cabbage instead of lettuce for the burger challenge. An adult wouldn't have made a mistake like that. For me, I got "voted" off the show by the judges for making some poor choices with one of my dishes. No adult ever stepped in and tried to correct my poor recipe design, even after I told my mentor what I was going to make! So in that sense, it was honestly as close as you can get to kids cooking without the show being a total disaster.
      As for personal skill, I can tell u that I personally was cooking almost every single day before the show. I would make dinner for my family and even made a little menu that my parents could order from each night. I was very passionate about cooking and thought I would be a chef one day (funny enough, I am a computer scientist now). But my point is, we did infact have a lot of knowledge of cooking :)

    I’m pretty sure “The Masked Singer” is all scripted, too. They portray it like all the celebrities are actually being chosen based on their singing ability, but in reality, I believe it’s determined who’s being sent home before they even perform. The first couple seasons I didn’t notice this, but in the recent seasons they’ll give an extra clue for the person being sent home that night. Also I think the judges are being fed guesses. Sometimes they’ll all be so sure about who they think someone is and suddenly the next round they’ll drop that guess and “just so happen” to guess the right celebrity- without even giving a reason why they changed their guess.
    I used to watch it with my mom and my sister, and once I picked up on the patterns, every single time I was able to predict who would be sent home. My mom and sister asked me how I was able to be so accurate and I told them about the patterns between the contestants who get eliminated. Plus, if you think about it, these celebrities are pretty busy so it makes sense if even though they can sing really well, they get eliminated because they have a project they need to get back to.
    It kinda ruins the whole thing when the people on the show pretend it’s real, but you know it’s not.
    (EDIT: This is just my own speculation from what I've seen personally on the US version of the show- I'm not saying it's true or false, I'm just giving my take👍)

      But I'm sure the general public doesn't give a damn, otherwise reality TV wouldn't be popular. It's mindless fun or drama to pass the time. As for the people (over the age of 17) who still believe this shit is "real", not contrived... I don't know what to say.

Most of their sentences are spoken in an uneven cadence. Random words will be enunciated in an "out of the flow" way as opposed to the rest of the sentence.

    My Highschool teacher was Kelsey Poe who is considered “one of the bachelors biggest villains”. I swear she was the sweetest kindest girl, so genuine. But the way the edited, re arranged her words out of context or forced her to say and do things just so they could paint her as the villain was terrible. Her backlash afterwords by people was so severe she had to quit her job as our teacher and move to Paris out of the country to start fresh. Fucking disgraceful how they did that to her, I remember she told me and a few other students she got accepted on the show and was so excited only to have them force her into a narrative just so they could demean her for views.

    As someone who doesn’t actually watch the show I think I prefer it being fake. No actual greats are being crushed, the contestants are actually getting something out of it and it makes me feel not as bad about putting 8 year olds against 13 year olds. That’s just not fair on average upper body strength and brain development.

      Mostly yes, but there was an article in a local paper just today (what a coincedence lol) that due to the challenges being hard to understand the producers take up to an hour to explain it to the contestents where they can ask specific questions about them. They are also tested by the "dreamteam" before hand to make sure the concepts work. Also there is a medical check for each contestant before and after each challenge. Other than that seems real enough, atleast the people seem real with their motives and aspirations, unlike masterchef US where almost everyone is portrayed to have malicious intentions

    Storage wars reminds me of when I was 11 and my dad had everything taken away from him. He was 2 1/2 hours late paying the storage bill, as something came up at work and he would come down in person to pay. Since he never missed a payment he figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal to come a little later in the day. We roll up and our unit with everything we owned including belongings his parents gave them was ransacked or destroyed beyond salvage. You could tell someone was trying to get in and out before we arrived. When confronted the storage and they said it was because we were a few hours late so they auctioned it off to "someone." Anything that remained or the buyer threw in the trash we were not allowed to recover and were forced to leave the premises.
    A few months later, skimming to find some things to watch we saw glimpses of our unit on the show, but it wasn't the one they officially settled on using just kinda insert cam shots, a long with our heirlooms littered in other units. (Like my grandparents were 100 before I was born, and passed away before I was born. Lots of valuable antiques passed down from when that side of the family first arrived to the U.S..)
    It hurt so bad as we were already poor and bearly able to make it by. So these things ment alot...and to have them just taken away like that
    I can't describe how bad it hurt and the disgust that our misfortune had become someone else's entertainment. All by 2 1/2 late despite 15+ years of loyalty ..

    With the Masterchef kid, I'm pretty sure the reason they brought him in was because they wanted to show that they would eliminate a kid just as brutally as they would an adult. He was one of the first eliminations of the first episode.
    That isn't to disagree with your general premise. Just that in that one case, it kinda made sense. They aren't going to destroy a real kid as much as they did him (IIRC, they were pretty brutal on him -- far moreso than the "normal" kids). I just think they wanted to put to bed the idea that they were going to take it easy on kids (which they do anyway, eliminating them in pairs)
    Basically, as long as they don't screw with the actual competition (and, talking to some people in these types of competitions, that shit is taken VERY seriously), they can do whatever they want.
