Scripted Reality TV

[slimkevi]

Viva la Bam is very carefully scripted...
so I don't have a hard time believing that other reality tv shows are scripted, too.

You mean they don't spontaneously think of building a treehouse casino or having a crash derby while the cameras are taping? Wow. I will never watch it again if that is the case!

All vying to see who will be the next... Top Caster!

Previously on Top Caster:
While Dawn commits to working with Keith Malley on the "Who can 'cast the longest" challenge...

Drew: "Common, Honey. You can do it"
Dawn: "I can't. I don't have anything to say! Why won't they let me have my dad go on instead?"

In the kitchen Keith Malley substitutes sugar for Dawn Dominkus' splenda.

Chemda: "You can't! What if she's a diabetic?"
Keith: "You think a cow like that's a diabetic? She fu[beep]ing loves sweets!"

And elsewhere Adam Curry begins to feel the pressure:

Adam: "I should be the one judging! I'm the podfather, for christ's sake! How the fu[beep] did I wind up here!"
Patricia: "Adam - you have got to go on, darling."
Adam: "Its not right. Podcasting was my idea."
Patricia: "I know, sweetheart. I know. Now be a good little boy and do your Source Show"
Adam: "Its The Daily Source CODE!"
Patricia: "I know it is, darling. I know it is. Now could you please get me my pills."
