    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.

    • @misseli1

      Of course, at the time I thought the announcer was just trying to entertain us because the show was taking too long to get started.

      Oh that's nefarious actually. Sometimes they do flatout hold up signs telling you how to react, but that's just shameless manipulation
      Pretty sure they plant people in the audience too in order to start chants in crowds or boos
      And those absurd closeups on some random audience members face are often fake

    This actually makes me feel a little better about some of those shows. It always bugged me when people on the house hunting shows said something like, "It's okay, but I can't live with that color on the walls, so we're not going to take it."I would often yell at the TV, "BUY A CAN OF PAINT!"So I guess people aren't really that dumb.

    What really bothers me in The First 48. Besides getting someone killed in Detroit by encouraging the cops to show off for the cameras, they also consistently edit interrogation videos to add in long pauses to make people sound guilty as hell. It's one thing to doctor someone's singing performance, and something altogether different to fuck with someone facing a murder charge.

      That's one of the reasons I quit watching it. I noticed this even when I was younger and anyone could tell you that some level of editing went on with that show and still is to this day. In fact, the show has even gotten into hot water with showing witnesses' faces, one camerawoman got 2 years probation for lying on the stand about an Detroit officer's involved shooting which killed the suspect in question, a kid was killed in a SWAT raid and that was filmed!, a suspect sued Miami PD for false imprisonment and the episode had a lot of errors that weren't corrected in reruns involving the ensuing investigation as there were a lot of missteps on the cops' part.

    • @CheetosReignsAgain
      @CheetosReignsAgain 7 лет назад +4

      So what you're really saying is 48 was actually real compared to these other shows? How would it be possible to get away with murder when it's filmed? The vid never totally gets destroyed if it's online.

  • @TheRedAzuki
    @TheRedAzuki 7 лет назад +177

    It's funny because I learned all of these were fake when I was about 7 years old. When I had to be in the audience of a Song contest like American Idol but I never got to see anyone sing, I just got to see people do different crap and then we had to cheer or boo at specific points. What's hilarious is that one time scene in one song when they film the audience you can see my sister and I being bored out of our minds while the performance is happening.

Somehow nearly every employee is exceptional, loves the company, has ideas for how they can do better, probably lost their entire family in a train accident and they're having to work 4 jobs to cover medical bills for their three blind children. Oh yeah and they'll be happy to reveal all the details of their sad story by their first break.

    Can we please talk about how Rupaul's Drag Race and Project Runway routinely use shots of contestants looking to the left or right and edit them to imply that they're reactions to other contestants talking in the workroom? Like... Subtle, but insidious. That stuff can destroy people's entire careers.

    • @Ziko577
      @Ziko577 7 лет назад +3

      I started taking notice of these practices in recent seasons as it's become more obvious. Even more so with Rupaul's show as the LOGO RUclips channel has the "unseen" footage of the contestants talking while the judges deliberate on the stage. 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.

    @charlotteKILLS 7 лет назад +95

    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.

  • @Thommy2n
    @Thommy2n 7 лет назад +20

    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.

    I auditioned for Last Comic Standing. (I already knew they preselected the people who got to have the on-camera auditions, and the people in line just went to a pre-screening table for sixty seconds, but it was more about being part of an event than anything else.) Anyway, I got video of the people waiting in line, and got to see some of the hired actors playing the "bad" comedians, which was fun (but I unfortunately wasn't able to get video of that part).
    Anyway, my footage is on my RUclips channel if anyone wants to check it out.

    One of my cousins was on swamp people until he ended up getting kicked off for indecent behavior.
    Alligator hunting has been a way of life for my people for a very long time. We know what we're doing, we know how to kill alligators as quickly and painlessly as possible.
    But on the show they make every kill seem like this huge struggle where you have to wrestle with the alligator.
    If you know what you're doing, alligator hunting is actually pretty simple.
    No more dangerous than hunting any other animal.

    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.

    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.

      @@lochinvar00465 Unemployment is low, which is good. But economic growth has slowed actually. Thanks to the tax cuts, the deficit has skyrocketed to over one trillion dollars. The US is still involved in all the same countries it was during the Obama administration, and Trump has actually ramped up the drone wars, which were already terrible under Obama. Also, getting rid of the Nuclear Deal was a disaster, and the only reason why the Trump administration did it was to escalate with Iran, since the neocons have been trying to topple that government for decades now. Not saying Hillary was any better since I believe she was probably slightly worse overall. But Trump has turned out to be just another puppet of the deep state like the rest of them. After all, Hillary Clinton was funded by goons like Goldman Sachs, which Trump stacked his administration with. He also stacked his administration with war criminals from the Bush administration.

      @Azivegu 7 лет назад +7

      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.
