It is really to a certain extent, but in order to make it work on television the way it does it will always be largely constructed like this. I mean, when you consider that they have cameras all around them and medical staff waiting by all the time, it is a very 'staged' reality. The only thing that isn't controlled is what comes out of their mouth, but with editing they take everything that has happened and create themes. I also think that they get them to repeat stuff they said if it wasn't caught on camera, or not correctly. All 'reality' TV is like this. Its as real as any other show that is not 'reality' TV.
Ok, so in other words, "IT IS FAKE"

I don't watch it but it looks shit.
I see the ads and it looks fake. If people know they're being watched they probably say stuff according to the producer's whim, i mean the camera just happens to record conversations involving suspense building stuff?

ahah your commenting on something you have no experience in watching, your opinion is so invalid it isn't funny...although I wouldn't call it the best show on tv :p

I watched parts of the last season and I don't think its totally fake, just clever camera editing as people have mentioned above. Was just thinking though, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people on the show were actors i.e. brought on in order to add tension or whatever.

I doubt people would care if it was fake though, after all its still entertainment.

would literally lmao if this was true.

No, they're natural structures. The producers are just very lucky to stumble across them on remote islands.

I think its half and half?
It has been on the news many times, I think once a guy cooked a rat in a stir fry or something? And another time they released a bore into the area so they had food? And both were for 'animal cruelty'.
I think its a semi-scripted reality show.

It wouldn't be a surprise if it was, but aren't all 'reality' shows somewhat fake???

I doubt that it's fake.
But really, it's hardly likely we'll find out for certain any time soon.
