Invisible Scripts

Many reality shows are clearly scripted in countless parts of the show, but to say that entire shows are scripted, I believe is a little exaggerated. Reality TV typically selects real people, that prior to the show were not necessarily famous or actors either, thus the reason they are chosen to do a specific show is for their usually wacky personality. RTV stars are expected to keep up this wacky behavior that got them there, but it had to come from somewhere, meaning that these people's personalities are not entirely fake. The situations created on shows, for example the fight between Sammi, Ronnie, JWoww, and Snooki on Jersey Shore, I do not believe are fake. The fight or disagreement between these people does not seem induced by the shows producers. The fight was initiated by the people involved, essentially the job of reality TV producers is to enhance the fight/ direct the direction of the fight to create more drama and appeal for the show, however the fight/ what is said in the fight, to me, seems legitimate.
