Almost from the day it was launched, reality TV has never escaped the debate between "real" and "show". Those who love the show revel in the personalities of the stars who appear on it, while those who hate it say "it's all an act". Reality TV follows a script and lacks the excitement of a star's live performance. The director of the program for the sake of sensationalism, customized scripts for the students, give scripts to read, but also to the bleak story to attract people's attention and sympathy.

Reality TV eventually presented the content, are through editing, and is also considered to be faking the place,. In an interview with a reporter from the Chutian Metropolis Daily, the person in charge of a satellite TV post-production team made it clear that "there is no post-cutting out of the plot", and it was even revealed that the atmosphere of the pre-recording of "Let's Fall in Love" Yu Wenle and Zhou Dongyu chapter was unusually awkward, and that "the atmosphere is completely reliant on the clipping, and then with the music and the flower words."

This kind of ghostly editing may also create a certain kind of highlight by disrupting the order of guests' emotional responses, depending on the plot the show needs. Jia Ling, who participated in "Star Chef", once complained that the editor had picked a lot of slow motion of her tongue sticking out, so as to match the appearance of Liu Yifan, the God of Cookery, to deliberately create "the image of a salivating nymphomaniac". When "Flowers and Teenagers" aired, Xu Qing also accused the crew of creating conflicts through editing.

Emotional "reality" programs, there are female guests identity fraud, the director arranged to perform some of the drama, say some lines.

The audience will feel that these plots and lines are strange, precisely because the program wants to achieve the purpose of claptrap and attract attention.
