    Quite a while back, I rounded up some shocking behind-the-scenes stories and secrets about reality shows from the BuzzFeed Community .

    For example: "I was an extra on my friend’s episode of House Hunters . They had already closed on the house they 'chose' on the show and had the option of using family members’ houses as the 'other choices.' It was all 100% staged."

    "They had to have multiple outfit changes in a day to appear as if it was filmed over time. Often, only one of the three houses toured is unfurnished, and that’s your sign as to which one has already been bought by the couple.

    "I think they only got around $500 for appearing on the show, but most of that went to buying all the required outfits."

    "A local guy called Tuna Tyler was on My Strange Addiction . He does live here, as does his mother, but he's allegedly an actor."

    "They made our welcoming college town look as if we should have stagecoaches and tumbleweeds. We embrace our oddities, and if 'Tuna Tyler' was his personality, everyone would know him."

    "A person who went to the same school as me was on a show similar to American Idol . She faked a chronic illness and pretty much her whole life story to get a good sob story going on her audition tape (which was shown on TV)."

    She lasted for about four episodes. People actually liked her online, until I started talking about what she's really like (she was a big bully, she did not have any chronic illnesses, and her tragic backstory was 110% made up)."
