How Stuff Works reports that while footage may be real, reality shows are often subject to heavy editing, showing only limited sides to each storyline.
"Reality shows typically do not have scripts, but there is often a shooting script or an outline that details aspects of an episode or part of the show. For example, on shows like The Real World and Big Brother, which take place in confined quarters, the outline might give directions for which rooms or cameras to focus on."
The hit Netflix reality show Love Is Blind, which is about singles finding love without seeing each other first has been rocked by multiple allegations, despite its massive success.
In Season 6, cast member Matthew Duliba was shown walking out on his date, with his controversial character later leading him to be labelled a villain by viewers.
"There were also many misrepresentations and falsehoods created in my opinion to smear my character. I look forward to telling my side of the story with the full truth at the appropriate time...Misrepresentation of the truth, I never walked out when a woman was talking," Matthew said on social media amid the fury.
