Deadliest Catch

It is already bad enough that the show is fake, but it also creates more problems for fishermen! You are probably wondering how. The producers pay the TV fishing crews, so they do not need to meet the quotas for fishing. This is the reason they can edge out their fellow fishermen when it comes to the price. The existence of the show has made things hard in the industry! On top of that, the show is heavily reliant on editing to make the storylines seem even more dramatic.

Ice Road Truckers

The first season opening theme showed a truck falling through the ice and into freezing water. The whole scene was actually made with the use of miniature models! Even though this is bad enough on its own, cast members have talked about how scripted the show is. It is also edited to make normal people seem like either heroes or villains. Aside from the typical reality TV fakeness, there is also the matter of the producers go extra lengths to make things look even riskier than they are in real life.
