rtv

This has been an issue since early reality tv. Sometimes the producers let the violence continue because then more people will watch it. But these aren't actors, these are real people. There is the chance that their fights are scripted it, but if something were to happen it's on them. At some point, they have to control the situation considering they're the ones that put the people in the situation in the first place. It is the producers goal (of shows like jersey shore and real world) to show these dangerous situations occurring, yet stopping them before they get too out of control.
