They're the puppet masters of our favourite reality TV shows. From the moment a celeb is recruited or a person is plucked from obscurity to star in the latest cooking, dating or survival show, Reality TV producers are back there, pulling the strings, recruiting the biggest personalities and making sure each and every episode will be packed full of drama and scandal. So why do they do it? What war stories can they share? And who are worse, the normies or the celebs? Reality TV producers spill the tea on what really happens behind the reality TV curtain from MAFS to MKR and Masterchef.  Want to try our new exercise app?
