Operation repo - fake?
Jun 1st, 2012 at 1:16pm
 
Check this out:

http://www.trutv.com/video/operation-repo/index.html


I watched this TV show on 7 Mate  channel 73 quite a few times.
At the start I thought it was real but certain things happened
which just didn't ring true & sure enough
when I searched the internet many sites are claiming it to be fake.

What do you all think?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Repo

Quote:
Operation Repo is an American television program that depicts the world of car repossession with a team that portrays fictionalized tales of repossessions from California's San Fernando Valley.[5] Similar to another truTV show, Southern Fried Stings, the series is filmed in a cinema verité style but consists of scripted and dramatized performances by actors.


How can we ever trust "reality" TV shows?

Of course it is fake
If it was real they would be bankrupt due to being sued millions of times

Well - why don't they tell you it's fake at the start of the show?
It's designed to suck people in.

It seemed very fake last night when they tried to repossess a
Harley Davidson motorcycle & a cowgirl lassoed the repossessor
& dragged him behind a horse.
I thought - come on - gimme a break - no one would do that.  Grin

It says at the start of the show that these are actors and the scenes you are about to see are BASED on actual events .... in very fine print ... but don't blink or you won't see it .......

How come my thread is not getting more replies?

I did a bit more reseach & I've found out that just about every
TV reality show is fake in some way:

Judge Judy,
Lady to Ladette.
The Batchelor,
Jerry Springer
Operation Repo  etc


Does anyone else want to add to the list?
I think it stinks to suck people in with false programs.
There should be a long disclaimer at the start of every reality show.


They should say -

This show is not reality - it's completely made up false nonsense
& is full of professional actors.

wife swap.

my sister watches that one and its obviously scripted

Ben Elton wrote a couple books about this. There was a book about a big brother house and one about the "idol" crap. Pretty good books. You will never look @ those reality shows the same again if you read them.

SOB

Yes - fancy that - the customers are fake.
There is hardly anything real now.
