Are reality shows edited to create fake stories?

There is a phrase we have in television called 'anything appeal' and what that means is that you don't want to find yourself in a situation of trying to tell a story that really didn't happen. It is really hard to do that. If two people are best friends in a reality show it is hard. You can make them enemies through the editing. You can make it so that every time you see one girl say that she doesn't like Brad, the producer can switch the name from Brad to Shu. The truth is that Shu is her best friend and you are digging a hole for yourself. It is the tangled web of deception. You can't continue the fakeness of the story. Generally, if you don't know what you are doing then you don't fake up a story.
