Do reality show producers 'coach' cast members during a shoot?
People will ask that all the time. People always ask whether reality show producers put words in people's mouths; do they coach them? A good producer doesn't do that - if a subject is particularly dense or unresponsive, you certainly could have conversation with them. I'm sure that there are producers and there are so many reality shows. There is no policing of ethics or anything like that. I am sure that there are some shows where producers do put words into cast members mouths, with the cast member thinking that will get them more air time or get them a moment that they'll look better, or for whatever reason. You shouldn't have to do it. If the show is correctly cast and correctly planned, those things wouldn't happen anyway.
