Where's the line?
Even though the point of reality tv is to capture the lives of people as if the cameras weren't there, the camera and the people behind them are there. So when the people being filmed pose a threat to themselves and the people around them then it's time to step out from behind the cameras and intervene. Yes, the camera men and producers are techinically just bystanders but they shouldn't let dangerous situations happen on their watch. I think they should call the police when situations like Amber and Gary on Teen Mom go down. People shouldn't be allowed to get away with things just because they are on a TV show.

I personally think the camera men and the producers cause most of the drama and let it unfold for the camera even if they know it will be a dangerous situation. I don't think the realty shows have a line for example jack ass will let there people jump out of planes without a parachute just for a good shot. I think if one of them actually died on camera they wouldn't feel the least bit bad.
While I agree with both of you on some of the matters here, I vary on few of them. I believe that the producers probe some of the confrontations and misfortunes, but not to the point of total destruction. I believe the outcomes are unsure, but yet somewhat controlled.
