Andrew McCluskey on 31 Dec 12"Reality TV - the very institution that has saved the medium by delivering high ratings at low cost - has also pretty much defiled the culture in all the obvious ways. What is perhaps less than obvious is how manufactured and unspontaneous it all is. To understand the reality behind the unreality of reality TV, we spoke to a former producer of such fare. The anonymous producer tells Bob about some of the elaborate staging and scripting he participated in while helping produce these shows."
