    Another reason that it is obviously scripted is because they have like 5 different camera shots for every single scene… Seriously, whatch for ALL the angle changes, would that many cameramen be able to walk around discretely everywhere they go?! No! They would not
    This show is stupid, my life would be more interesting

    I know someone who worked on the production. It was not fake. There were camera men hidden all around. The contestants could see them. They were just told to ignore them. It also took two days to film instead of one. It was not scripted. They were not told what to do or how to act. They were told to think aloud though. Think of it as a game show, they were competing for $50,000. They would move them from game to game and then the contestants would compete. Then they pieced it all together to make it look like one seamless event. It is staged in the since that you have to take time to film things, and set things up. So they were not running around from place to place so frantically. It is not staged in the sense that they tell contestants exactly what to do and say and they film it till they get what they want. It was pretty much a one take show when it came to all the stunts and games. They just made sure to have 10 camera men filming from behind stuff to get every angle.
