Jennifer I agree with your response !All of these get-rich-quick shows ADD to the thrill to keep people watching the shows . Some people even admit to it and refuse to be part of it , even brothers split their decision of the shows intent because of it! I still watch it for the entertainment for what it's worth ! BUT I agree with you on your statement !

The money for the filming is not fake...............

Glad to see people held accountable.
I have had 3 talent contracts myself and several ex employees and friends have been in shows from Weather Channel to Nat Geo. All have some added drama but some were heinous in the scripted drama. Actually had my fish featured on a show I wasn't even on because the areas they fished were either barren or the captains sucked so they bought some from the market. The pay was garbage.

You mean it’s not just a coincidence that everyone prefers Volvo haul trucks and excavators? 😉

Appears the haul trucks and excavators are not fake as well. Can one connect some dots?

Glorified infomercials.
Product placement is probably close to 100 years old by now.
I don't doubt the entertainment aspect but WWE is more real than a lot of " reality shows " and the cast are better looking and better actors.

I have not watched any of the shows yet and that sums it up into a nice answer package, thank you.

I've enjoyed watching the detecting conditions, harsh locations, variety of soil types, old mine shafts shots, Australian scenery, different weather events, etc. and the use of various detector models over the years. (They did a good job of getting me to see Australia without the long flight or expense--quite good for that.)
As for reality TV, I've been in the Caribbean when those vacation home reality shows are being filmed, and talk about heavily scripted and crafted!

All the best,
Lanny

For many the few hours of watching the scripted / staged reality shows is a small price to pay as one can still learn something by looking at the background where the "Mining" is taking place.
Great points you make Lanny as one should try to keep an open mind when watching.............LOL.

Most likely there will be a few minutes in between the scrip / staging of the filming that is not that one can watch for.......LOL.

There’s no single “percentage” for all reality TV — but industry research and producer accounts show that most shows blend real people with heavily staged or edited moments, often with 50–90% of on‑screen events shaped or manufactured for drama.
