[Dramatic gasp] We know, we know, this might come as a shock to like two or three of you? However, what is real is the weird and unforgettable behind-the-scenes activity that camera operators film. Bored Panda has traveled all over Reddit to bring you some of the wildest reality show camera operator tales about what goes on in shows when nobody's looking. And these little trade secrets and industry insights are sometimes even more interesting than the shows themselves. Scroll down and remember to upvote the stories that you enjoyed the most. Got a fave reality show? Share it in the comments. (We're particularly big fans of everything RAW related to Gordon Ramsay.) Meanwhile, be sure to check out Bored Panda's interview about reality TV with Hollywood's Ultimate Insider, Mike Sington.

She stopped to catch a butterfly in her hand and held it up briefly to her eye to see what it was. She then almost seemed to raise her eyebrows in recognition before releasing it and watching it fly away. As a cameraman, there are many things I witness but fail to capture on video.

View more comments Entertainment, pop culture, and celebrity expert Mike, who is based in Los Angeles, shed a little light on the world of reality TV shows for us. "Reality TV shows are mostly not real. 60% of what you're seeing on screen is faked, scripted, manipulated, staged, or heavily edited to present a storyline," he explained to Bored Panda. #4 I was a camera op for Shipping Wars on A&E, My 600 Lb. Life for TLC, North Woods Law for Animal Planet, and High Profits for CNN, and others.
Probably the worst was on My 600 Lb. Life. One family was moving out of their apartment, and we were shooting the move. They were very very unsanitary. Instead of cleaning up their dog sh*t in the small 2 bedroom apartment, they would put plants on top of it. We had to use a mentholatum oil on our upper lips to withstand the stench. The grandma was sleeping on a bed in of the bedrooms. When they went to remove the bed and flipped it over, thousands of bugs scattered out of the bed all over the room. The 80-something year old woman was sleeping on a bed that was infested with roaches and god knows what other bugs.

On the way to an interview the producer, who wrote his interview questions in the car on the way over, kept talking about how he had to make this woman cry. “They love it upstairs when you can make them cry,” he said. “It’s the gold ring.”
So we go to this woman’s house, get the gear inside, set up the interview and start rolling. It turns out this woman saw her husband and son killed in front of her when the motorcycle they were riding on was hit by a drunk driver. The segment was about drunk drivers who had killed people and gotten away scot free. This guy ran to Canada and he still lived there ten years later.
The producer asked a lot of tear-jerkingly emotional questions and finally got her to cry. It was heartbreaking. As we drove away he all but high-fived himself, he was so happy.
On Strange Universe the producer wanted my sound person to drive the van through a funeral procession so we could shoot it from up close, out the side door. We said no.

Some of them are as close to reality as reality TV can get, however, others are so heavily scripted and edited, they're more akin to Netflix shows than anything remotely resembling reality. "Any reality shows about families or dating and 'finding love' are the most staged. Examples would be all versions of the Kardashians, The Bachelor, and Love Island. The least staged reality shows are those featuring medical afflictions such as Hoarders or Botched," the expert said. #7 I was cameraman for a series about strip clubs in the local area (Birmingham UK). We filmed for about 8 weeks, spending most of our time behind the scenes, talking with the girls, getting a bit of insight into why they were strippers (for the most part, they were earning money for college etc).
It was just about the least sexy thing I could imagine; not my cup of tea. Couldn’t get my head around why men would want to spend money (and sooo much money, at that) when all you could do is look, no touching, no happy finishes. After the first hour of filming, I was immune from any idea that I’d find it sexy. Not like I was spending every day walking around with a semi.
Got to know the girls well. They were universally nice people, doing a job. And even the attractive ones – once you know a bit about them, and why they were getting their tits out – it was as far from being a turn on as I could imagine.
On the last day of filming, in the brightly-lit changing rooms at the back of Legs 11, our (female) producer asked if I had ever had a “private dance” – no, I hadn’t, and no I didn’t want one.
“Oh, we can’t have that! Who’s going to give [me] a dance? He’s never had one!”
They sat me in a chair, and with my sound man filming it, one of the girls did her “private routine” for me. Well, on me. Lots of gyrating, rubbing herself on my legs, then pulling her pants aside and getting an inch away from my nose…
Christ.
It was all in good humour, but it was f*ckin’ weird. Uncomfortable. I mean, where do you look? And everyone was watching me. I knew this girl, I’d filmed interviews with her and her kids; she wasn’t my type (sooo not my type), but she was a sweet person, and now she’s putting on the sultry looks, sticking her nethers in my face. And I had an audience – a dozen other girls, mostly naked, my producer, my sound man, our production assistant, all standing round watching and laughing.
I didn’t know where to look.
In hindsight, I think I did a good job of playing along; acting the right sort of jocular / cringy / ha ha ha, isn’t this uncomfortable thing, but in reality it just all felt a bit f*cked up. And the room was so f*ckin’ bright.
Not exactly nightmare stuff, but occasionally it does freak me out to remember that somewhere, sitting on a shelf in the TV station’s archives, there’s a DigiBeta tape of my “private dance”.

It's after 2am, and the club we were at that night has pretty much cleared out. This night was a 'foam party,' meaning that after a certain hour, the dance floor was filled with an ever replenishing supply of 'foam.' The kids dance in it, grind in it, do god knows what in it. But, by the end of the night, the foam is reduced to a milky, filthy, pool of warm water, maybe six or eight inches deep.
We're packing our gear when I look up and see some sad, clearly intoxicated girl, on her hands and knees in the foam, desperately searching for her wallet she had lost on the dance floor.

It was an annual banquet, everyone had to be in a bowtie including me, which usually I get away wearing black polo and khakis at anything, but not this time. I was basically filming the speakers, awards ceremony, auction, etc. As I was packing up people who remained there were the high end socialites of the city I was in, and they were f*cking wasted. One table in particular I kept hearing, “nooo OH NO..COME ON Jay” and a trophy wife was sucking this well known local attorneys d*ck under the table in front of everyone. It wasn’t the first interesting incident, seen a republican congressman make out with another dude at a country club. It was his actual boyfriend, but to the public he was still in the closet.

View more comments #16 I used to shoot and edit short docs for NGOs that did water well work over seas. Burkina Faso was the most remote location out of all the trips I had taken. We stayed in a small dirt village a few hours from the capitol, then drove another 2 hours every morning to get to our locations.
Anyway, we met this witch doctor who brought us to his small mud house. We asked if we could film b-roll inside, but he was being super hostile and wanted something valuable in return. We argued back and forth for a bit through our translator but had no luck. Then the witch doctor told us he would approach the spirits and ask them if it was ok for us to come in. He went inside his shrine and started shaking this bead shaker and talking to someone. We could hear both voices, completely different sounding, and at times talking over each other. This went on for a few minutes. Then he came out and asked us to drink this potion if we wanted to go in. Our guide suggested we don’t, but we had come this far, so we each took little sips. He met with the spirits one more time, then finally let us in.
It was a dark mud room, no bigger than the size of a queen bed, with a single beam of light coming through. He showed us his dolls and medicine. Also razor blades that he would use to make cuts on children’s bellies and stuff medicine into (saw some gnarly scars that trip too). But the whole time I was looking for a voice box or recorder to explain the phoniness of the “spirits” but found nothing.

View more comments #24 I worked on a documentary about Riker’s Island, which is a very large jail just off the north part of Queens, NYC. The whole thing was surreal, but the worst part was the maternity ward where incarcerated mothers had a few hours a day to see their kids in a large acrylic cell.
We had incredible access to everything- one of the executive producers was the niece of Rose Singer, whom the nursery is named after and she became a member of the Board of Corrections of NYC shortly after.
Other things that stand out:
Unannounced ‘TEAMS’ meetings at 0600 where the main governing body of the island grilled the heads of each jail about incidents and things like amount of toilet paper their jail used that month.
The smell of hardcore disinfectant and overwhelming body odor.
The food was a lot of starchy pasta and soda.
Extraction was the term used when officers went in as a team and removed an inmate by surprise force to find contraband.
The officers patrolled the island on mountain bikes. They had water teams of boats, jet-skis, and divers. LaGuardia is only about a hundred feet away at one point so there are escape attempts, but the divers are there to rescue prisoners. There’s a dangerous tidal pool call Hell Gate there.

View more comments #25 So back in late 80’s I worked for a local television station in Paducha, Kentucky. We were hosting the (whatever-whatever) annual Children’s Miracle Network, Live. I was running the remote or “bunny-cam” as we sometimes called it. I would go around the studio audience and get bumper shots or reaction shots or whatever the director yelled in my headset to get.
About mid-way through the evening during one of those exhausting montage vignettes showing kids in need of help I took a rest off to the side of the audience. Little did I know that my cam was giving the control room a impromptu up-skirt of a not-at-all unattractive woman. It could have easily been the elderly lady in the seat behind her if I was sitting on the next step up.
Noting went live thankfully (although they might have seen a spike in donations if it had.) They let it go on I guess until I asked what they were all giggling and talking about.
Once they told me my face went to thirteen shades of red as I slowly backed right on out of there before anyone had suspicions.
I passed the remote cam to someone else to take over and I jumped on one of the fixed studio cams never to look back. I never lived it down.

29 Camera Operators Get Really Honest About The Things They Get To See Behind The Scenes
Jonas Grinevičius andIlona Baliūnaitė
Publish Not your original work? Add source Something that most of you Pandas are definitely aware of is that reality TV shows aren't as real as they seem. [Dramatic gasp] We know, we know, this might come as a shock to like two or three of you? However, what is real is the weird and unforgettable behind-the-scenes activity that camera operators film. Bored Panda has traveled all over Reddit to bring you some of the wildest reality show camera operator tales about what goes on in shows when nobody's looking. And these little trade secrets and industry insights are sometimes even more interesting than the shows themselves. Scroll down and remember to upvote the stories that you enjoyed the most. Got a fave reality show? Share it in the comments. (We're particularly big fans of everything RAW related to Gordon Ramsay.) Meanwhile, be sure to check out Bored Panda's interview about reality TV with Hollywood's Ultimate Insider, Mike Sington. This post may include affiliate links. #1 The most amazing thing I witnessed looking through the camera viewfinder but didn't manage to capture was a female Gorilla feeding. She stopped to catch a butterfly in her hand and held it up briefly to her eye to see what it was. She then almost seemed to raise her eyebrows in recognition before releasing it and watching it fly away. As a cameraman, there are many things I witness but fail to capture on video. If you [are] impressed by what you see on TV, there is way more out there to see and witness!

View more comments Entertainment, pop culture, and celebrity expert Mike, who is based in Los Angeles, shed a little light on the world of reality TV shows for us. "Reality TV shows are mostly not real. 60% of what you're seeing on screen is faked, scripted, manipulated, staged, or heavily edited to present a storyline," he explained to Bored Panda. #4 I was a camera op for Shipping Wars on A&E, My 600 Lb. Life for TLC, North Woods Law for Animal Planet, and High Profits for CNN, and others.
Probably the worst was on My 600 Lb. Life. One family was moving out of their apartment, and we were shooting the move. They were very very unsanitary. Instead of cleaning up their dog sh*t in the small 2 bedroom apartment, they would put plants on top of it. We had to use a mentholatum oil on our upper lips to withstand the stench. The grandma was sleeping on a bed in of the bedrooms. When they went to remove the bed and flipped it over, thousands of bugs scattered out of the bed all over the room. The 80-something year old woman was sleeping on a bed that was infested with roaches and god knows what other bugs.

On the way to an interview the producer, who wrote his interview questions in the car on the way over, kept talking about how he had to make this woman cry. “They love it upstairs when you can make them cry,” he said. “It’s the gold ring.”
So we go to this woman’s house, get the gear inside, set up the interview and start rolling. It turns out this woman saw her husband and son killed in front of her when the motorcycle they were riding on was hit by a drunk driver. The segment was about drunk drivers who had killed people and gotten away scot free. This guy ran to Canada and he still lived there ten years later.
The producer asked a lot of tear-jerkingly emotional questions and finally got her to cry. It was heartbreaking. As we drove away he all but high-fived himself, he was so happy.
On Strange Universe the producer wanted my sound person to drive the van through a funeral procession so we could shoot it from up close, out the side door. We said no.

Some of them are as close to reality as reality TV can get, however, others are so heavily scripted and edited, they're more akin to Netflix shows than anything remotely resembling reality. "Any reality shows about families or dating and 'finding love' are the most staged. Examples would be all versions of the Kardashians, The Bachelor, and Love Island. The least staged reality shows are those featuring medical afflictions such as Hoarders or Botched," the expert said. #7 I was cameraman for a series about strip clubs in the local area (Birmingham UK). We filmed for about 8 weeks, spending most of our time behind the scenes, talking with the girls, getting a bit of insight into why they were strippers (for the most part, they were earning money for college etc).
It was just about the least sexy thing I could imagine; not my cup of tea. Couldn’t get my head around why men would want to spend money (and sooo much money, at that) when all you could do is look, no touching, no happy finishes. After the first hour of filming, I was immune from any idea that I’d find it sexy. Not like I was spending every day walking around with a semi.
Got to know the girls well. They were universally nice people, doing a job. And even the attractive ones – once you know a bit about them, and why they were getting their tits out – it was as far from being a turn on as I could imagine.
On the last day of filming, in the brightly-lit changing rooms at the back of Legs 11, our (female) producer asked if I had ever had a “private dance” – no, I hadn’t, and no I didn’t want one.
“Oh, we can’t have that! Who’s going to give [me] a dance? He’s never had one!”
They sat me in a chair, and with my sound man filming it, one of the girls did her “private routine” for me. Well, on me. Lots of gyrating, rubbing herself on my legs, then pulling her pants aside and getting an inch away from my nose…
Christ.
It was all in good humour, but it was f*ckin’ weird. Uncomfortable. I mean, where do you look? And everyone was watching me. I knew this girl, I’d filmed interviews with her and her kids; she wasn’t my type (sooo not my type), but she was a sweet person, and now she’s putting on the sultry looks, sticking her nethers in my face. And I had an audience – a dozen other girls, mostly naked, my producer, my sound man, our production assistant, all standing round watching and laughing.
I didn’t know where to look.
In hindsight, I think I did a good job of playing along; acting the right sort of jocular / cringy / ha ha ha, isn’t this uncomfortable thing, but in reality it just all felt a bit f*cked up. And the room was so f*ckin’ bright.
Not exactly nightmare stuff, but occasionally it does freak me out to remember that somewhere, sitting on a shelf in the TV station’s archives, there’s a DigiBeta tape of my “private dance”.

"In talking to contestants, it's very stressful being on a reality show," Hollywood's Ultimate Insider told Bored Panda.

It's after 2am, and the club we were at that night has pretty much cleared out. This night was a 'foam party,' meaning that after a certain hour, the dance floor was filled with an ever replenishing supply of 'foam.' The kids dance in it, grind in it, do god knows what in it. But, by the end of the night, the foam is reduced to a milky, filthy, pool of warm water, maybe six or eight inches deep.
We're packing our gear when I look up and see some sad, clearly intoxicated girl, on her hands and knees in the foam, desperately searching for her wallet she had lost on the dance floor.

It was an annual banquet, everyone had to be in a bowtie including me, which usually I get away wearing black polo and khakis at anything, but not this time. I was basically filming the speakers, awards ceremony, auction, etc. As I was packing up people who remained there were the high end socialites of the city I was in, and they were f*cking wasted. One table in particular I kept hearing, “nooo OH NO..COME ON Jay” and a trophy wife was sucking this well known local attorneys d*ck under the table in front of everyone. It wasn’t the first interesting incident, seen a republican congressman make out with another dude at a country club. It was his actual boyfriend, but to the public he was still in the closet.
What’s amazing is how the scandalous drama among socialites never make local or national news more often. paneling , René Ranisch Report Final score: 83points POST ohjojo ohjojo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 8 months ago Oh but we wish it would make the news 37 37points reply View More Replies... View more comments #16 I used to shoot and edit short docs for NGOs that did water well work over seas. Burkina Faso was the most remote location out of all the trips I had taken. We stayed in a small dirt village a few hours from the capitol, then drove another 2 hours every morning to get to our locations.
Anyway, we met this witch doctor who brought us to his small mud house. We asked if we could film b-roll inside, but he was being super hostile and wanted something valuable in return. We argued back and forth for a bit through our translator but had no luck. Then the witch doctor told us he would approach the spirits and ask them if it was ok for us to come in. He went inside his shrine and started shaking this bead shaker and talking to someone. We could hear both voices, completely different sounding, and at times talking over each other. This went on for a few minutes. Then he came out and asked us to drink this potion if we wanted to go in. Our guide suggested we don’t, but we had come this far, so we each took little sips. He met with the spirits one more time, then finally let us in.
It was a dark mud room, no bigger than the size of a queen bed, with a single beam of light coming through. He showed us his dolls and medicine. Also razor blades that he would use to make cuts on children’s bellies and stuff medicine into (saw some gnarly scars that trip too). But the whole time I was looking for a voice box or recorder to explain the phoniness of the “spirits” but found nothing.

But not anymore than they would any other TV news camera. In fact, I've had citizens yell at me to get "that news camera out of here!"

She asked him where his crack pipe was and he said oh I don't care that with me. She said if you was a real crackhead you'd have your pipe here so when you score you can try it.

Many people became millionaires because they stole donations meant to solve critical situations. The Netherlands donated over €3 million to repair the damages by the 2020 Beirut explosion. I than said that 3 people in Beirut would become millionaire, but nothing would get repaired. 2 years later, nothing is repaired. 18 18points reply View More Replies...

View more comments #24 I worked on a documentary about Riker’s Island, which is a very large jail just off the north part of Queens, NYC. The whole thing was surreal, but the worst part was the maternity ward where incarcerated mothers had a few hours a day to see their kids in a large acrylic cell.
We had incredible access to everything- one of the executive producers was the niece of Rose Singer, whom the nursery is named after and she became a member of the Board of Corrections of NYC shortly after.
Other things that stand out:
Unannounced ‘TEAMS’ meetings at 0600 where the main governing body of the island grilled the heads of each jail about incidents and things like amount of toilet paper their jail used that month.
The smell of hardcore disinfectant and overwhelming body odor.
The food was a lot of starchy pasta and soda.
Extraction was the term used when officers went in as a team and removed an inmate by surprise force to find contraband.
The officers patrolled the island on mountain bikes. They had water teams of boats, jet-skis, and divers. LaGuardia is only about a hundred feet away at one point so there are escape attempts, but the divers are there to rescue prisoners. There’s a dangerous tidal pool call Hell Gate there.
You enter by bridge, the producers made sandwiches in a cooler for everyone. RollX , Particle Film Co.

View more comments #25 So back in late 80’s I worked for a local television station in Paducha, Kentucky. We were hosting the (whatever-whatever) annual Children’s Miracle Network, Live. I was running the remote or “bunny-cam” as we sometimes called it. I would go around the studio audience and get bumper shots or reaction shots or whatever the director yelled in my headset to get.
About mid-way through the evening during one of those exhausting montage vignettes showing kids in need of help I took a rest off to the side of the audience. Little did I know that my cam was giving the control room a impromptu up-skirt of a not-at-all unattractive woman. It could have easily been the elderly lady in the seat behind her if I was sitting on the next step up.
Noting went live thankfully (although they might have seen a spike in donations if it had.) They let it go on I guess until I asked what they were all giggling and talking about.
Once they told me my face went to thirteen shades of red as I slowly backed right on out of there before anyone had suspicions.
I passed the remote cam to someone else to take over and I jumped on one of the fixed studio cams never to look back. I never lived it down.

We didn't end up putting the mosquito pick completely out before bed - like we thought we did. It smoldered under the cabin for a few hours and we awoke to the crackle of fire and a five-foot flame in the doorway of the cabin. Our cabin was on fire! The only way out was to jump into/over the flame.

View more comments #27 On one show, our crew was setting up all morning for a big party scene. Once ready, we waited hours for a special guest to arrive so we could get things started. When she finally got to set, she wasn't even ready to shoot, needing hair and makeup done. Our director said, "We are ready when you're ready," and she took it the wrong way. She didn't want us to be rushing her, haha. Anyways, her and the director really got into it. She was rude and then he started yelling, "We have over 100 people here who have families to get home to." Eventually, she walked out. We waited another 40 minutes and she came back and gave us an abbreviated performance.

One episode was at a hospital ER. People had brought in a guy who was completely drunk. I cannot remember whether he took his clothes off himself or they undressed him. However, to prevent him from making a mess, they put diapers on him. He escaped the room he was kept in and ran around the hospital wearing nothing but that diaper and ranting on and on about his conspiracy theories. The footage wasn’t used.
