Reality tv

Reality tv is popular with the tv companies because it's cheap, no studio, no actors to pay just a camera crew to worry about.  Trouble is many reality tv shows and not very real.
One of the antique/auction type shows was exposed recently for 'seeding' the finds with interesting items to make the show more interesting.  Errr... thats not reality then guys, and worse your admitting your own show in boring to start with.
Even the so called 'high risk' reality shows are not really quite what the companies imply,  take ice road truckers for example, yes it's potentially dangerous driving over frozen lakes, but noting like as dangerous as the makers suggest.  I mean how many vehicles have actually fallen through the ice in the  5 years the series has run, I can't find any linked to the ice road proper, the road is first scanned by helicopters, then by light tracked vehicles and the thickness is well monitored, so not quite the skating on thin ice the makers claim.
One of my pet hates with this series is the false cliff hanger rubbish before each commercial break, again if the shows boring take it off, don't pertend it's worse than it is.
