There are exceptions, and I have no problem with a real documentary that tackles an important issue and does it exceptionally well. I really, really hate reality shows just because a) they're cheaply done, b) they're not as satisfying to me as structured comedies or dramas, and c) they put a lot of hard-working Hollywood writers, actors, and craftspeople out of work. Abrams who suggested, "hey, what if the plane crash was deliberate and not just an accident, and there are evil forces on the island", adding a supernatural element.

Literally, the TV show Lost was pitched by ABC chief Lloyd Braun as "a dramatic show like Survivor, plus elements of Castaway, Lord of the Flies, and Gilligan's Island, where you have a whole bunch of vastly different characters from a plane crash on a desert island." According to some reports, it was J.J. Many, many shows will say, "it's like, only we'll make it about a girl in Australia, only she doesn't know her boss is also her father!" That kind of thing. Who would ever think a show about a bunch of fishermen at sea could be interesting, let alone scary and entertaining? That might be one of the most difficult shows to shoot in all of television, just because of the very real risks of everybody involved.Ĭlick to expand.Yep, exactly. I'd cite Deadliest Catch as a good example. In fairness, some reality shows are extraordinarily well-done and true-to-life. Triumph of the Will isn't exactly a truthful documentary, either. But this goes back to all documentaries ever made, most of which have hidden agendas and deliberate points of view designed specifically to manipulate the audience. Everything is very contrived, very manipulated. This is why in shows like Survivor, sometimes the contestants later say, "wow, I had no idea they were going to make me the 'villain.' I thought I was a nice guy!" You cut out all the guy's nice scenes, and he looks like a jerk you cut out another person's positive scenes, and just concentrate on all his mistakes, and he looks like a klutz.
Which is a fancy way of saying: they have to figure out a beginning, a middle, and an end based on the material they have to work with.
Reality shows and documentaries are essentially "written" during the editing process, since that completely shapes the point of view and the narrative structure. I can tell you for a fact that quite a few of these cop-type reality shows are heavily, heavily edited, and sometimes they even go back and reshoot certain things just to give them more coverage and more editing options. In the case of Bounty Hunter, they can't exactly tell the guy they're arresting what to say. The shows aren't "scripted" per se, but they do generally have extensive meetings prior to the shoot, and they go over with the talent what's essentially going to happen, and coach them on potential lines.
