I was squatting in the office hermine and her crew were in while some of this was filming, and it was absolutely fascinating to peer over the shoulder of the director and P/A's, and see just how much of this was scripted and the various re-takes and whatnot.

You always have this feeling about "reality TV" that it's fake, but it was rather eye opening to see it firsthand.

Yeah, they pretty much all have some degree of scripting. The best shows sort of create the situations they want and then make the show in the editing room. The worst just write the whole thing out.
