‘Survivor’ and Other Reality Competition Shows Are Totally Fake

2. Project Runway

With Tim Gunn and Hiedi Klum at the head, Project Runway is one of the best and most lively reality competition shows out there. The series follows burgeoning designers as they compete for a coveted spot in New York Fashion Week and of course, for some major name recognition. It’s also sparked some revolutionary fashion designers (i.e.: Christian Siriano) who have continued to break molds and push the envelope when it comes to representation in fashion.

And yet, as good as the Peabody Award-winning series is, it’s still scripted. Season 4 contestant Jack Mackenroth called out the show claiming that eliminations were planned out ahead of time and producers would go back and edit the footage. Though the producers dispute this, we wouldn’t be shocked if it weren’t totally true.
