<p>doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.</p>
<p>i heard that if the producers missed any major events, they would ask the kids to re-enact the events for the camera</p>
<p>both real and fake. but i wonder to what extent it isn't real</p>
<p>Laguna Beach is no more real or fake than any other reality television show.</p>
<p>Re-enact? Haha No wonder so many scenes seemed contrived.</p>
<p>SOOOO Fake....</p>
<p>Anyone who has ever done any sort of video production (which we learn about in my school), can easily tell it is fake. The camera shots are too set up, and the cast looks too good (they have makeup artists do it all). Watch a real reality show and see the shaky cameras, the bad angles, the bad lighting, and then watch Laguna Beach. It looks like any other TV show. There is NO WAY you can get camera angles and pans that smooth when you don't know what the people are going to do next, or who is going to chime in next.</p>
<p>Hahah yeah. When I first saw the show, I was trying to figure out whether this really was "The Real OC" or MTV's "The OC" wannabe.</p>
<p>Everything is waaaaaay too perfect. It looks like any other show you watch on tv.</p>
<p>I've heard its fake. The kids are real, such as their lives, houses, etc. But most of the story-line is put there. Thats just what I've heard.</p>
<p>they admit it. they create a situation but after that (all the backlashing) and stuff is supposed to be real.</p>
