Many of them are paid actors.

I'm not wondering about actors. I'm wondering about the people that are just living their lives like the Kardashians and the people on Teen Mom.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians is the fakest reality show ever. They don't just "live their lives". They have writers that write their lives.

That's actually not true. You're just assuming that since stuff they do is outrageous..

Jonathan Murray, chairman of Bunim/Murray Productions, was asked by mediabistro.com if Kim’s failed 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries was a publicity stunt drummed up by producers for ratings. “No, of course not. Kim did not seek us out as to who she should marry, nor should she,” Murray explains. “All we’re doing as producers is saying, ‘Kim, we want to cover it.’ We want to shoot the marriage, hell, if they’d let us we’d go on the honeymoon with them. (They didn’t let us.) We’re just the people who document what happens. I would not want the responsibility of telling Kim what to do in her life,” he continues. Despite the public Kardashian backlash, Murray says that people continue to watch the show because of how real it is. “I think that’s why the show works. It’s not just a bunch of phony set-up stuff. It’s really stuff that happens in this family’s lives and they let us shoot it.”

I still don't believe that. It feels so fake to me.

Part of the reason why it might feel fake, is because they cram several days of their lives into a one hour episode, so we only see the good stuff. We don't see boring days where they chill and watch tv like normal people.
