10 Times Reality Shows Reminded Us Of How Incredibly Fake They Are
Most of us have been watching reality TV for years, and it's safe to say that we've all had moments of asking: Is this real?

While it can be fun to suspend belief for the sake of enjoying our favorite shows, sometimes the shock of how scripted or edited a scene is can be too much to ignore.

It can also just be laughable, especially when so many of these reality shows insist that nothing about them is fake.

But we know that's not the case. Here's a roundup of some reality TV moments (and entire shows!) that were just too fake to be ignored.
1.When Riko and Hayato's relationship is exposed on Terrace House: Boys & Girls in the City.
This one hurt, because Terrace House was so mild in terms of reality TV, so I never thought it was fake. But when the other house members sat Riko and Hayato down and asked them why they were lying about their relationship, I was SHOCKED. The cameras never showed these secret moments of them sneaking around.
2.Learning that Kyle and Deepti had a deep connection in the pods on Love Is Blind Season 2.
In the Love Is Blind Season 2 reunion, Kyle said he regretted not fighting for Deepti and that he should have married her, shocking many viewers who never saw them connect in the pods. This opened a can of worms of other Love Is Blind moments we never saw, like learning that someone else proposed to Natalie before Shayne and left when she turned him down.
3. Speaking of Love Is Blind, this moment where the amount of food on Mallory and Sal's plates changed every 5 seconds during a very serious conversation reminded us of how fake it is.
I guess even the gold cups couldn't save them from continuity errors!
4.That time Khloé Kardashian was arrested for driving under the influence...while filming KUWTK.
5.When Jihoon and Deavan got into a heated argument over the safety of Deavan's daughter, Drascilla, on 90 Day Fiancé.
6.The clearly staged fight between Angelina and Snooki on Jersey Shore.
7.That time Heidi got "fired" from her "job" on The Hills.
8.The entire run of MTV's Parental Control.
9.Also, the entirety of MTV's run of Next.
10.OK, and the entirety of MTV's Room Raiders, too.
As unrealistic as these shows might be, I can't lie: I still want to watch them! And honestly, they probably wouldn't be as good or funny without all the manufactured drama.
