Scripted
I think that all reality tv shows have some sort of script to them. Whether it is the cast that the network selects, to the location of where the show will take place to even having some of the cast members do certain things to spice up the show. Everything about our world today is money, although it is a sad thing, it's true. All tv networks are trying to do is getting the best ratings. In a show like Jersey Shore, the cast may have been told to get into a fight with other members of the cast along with going to certain clubs on certain nights. Although all of these may have been scripted the results from what actually happened from the events weren't. Overall, I feel that most if not all reality tv is scripted in some sort of way, in order to help keep ratings up and the viewers happy and tuned in to each and every episode.

I agree with your post. A lot of times the producers tell them how to act, what to do, where to go, etc, in order to get their ratings as high as possible. Using the example of the Jersey Shore, while I'm sure living in a house with that many people can get tense sometimes, I bet half of the drama that is shown on the show is scripted/caused by the producers to keep the viewers interested in the show.
