What gets me isn't that reality TV doesn't try to hide its bullshit anymore, but more that it doesn't matter. It's not that unusual now to show two contradictory edits of the same conversation in the same episode, because we know now people will exclusively remember whichever is better TV so it makes no difference anyway.

#these things make me so insane #which yes is exactly why i keep watching reality TV and watching the reaction to reality TV #people genuinely think they were there #it's like it tricks their brain and they can't accept that they weren't #i swear people have said EXACTLY that about get back specifically #and on this episode of 90day they kept showing a woman rolling her eyes and laughing while her boyfriend poured his heart out #it's audio played over a closeup so you have to be pretty dumb to take it seriously but #they showed the two shot *in the same episode* where she was crying and nodding because she agreed #and of course people are still furious with her for laughing at him #sorry i don't usually post about reality tv but it's four am and this fits on my caro blog even less
