So here's a question. What if they have something happen but didn't get a good catch on camera so they "recreate" it? I would imagine the temptation to do this would be huge since it really happened.

Edit: Want to point out that this is a purely hypothetical question – something I was wondering about.

I agree with Kim…

if they are going to do this, fine but let us know it is a reenactment of what was experienced.

I guess for me, I just always assume that what you see on reality TV isn't genuine. Editing can be – and is – done very cleverly on most reality programs. What editing gives you is slight of hand, where you can take real events and what you wind up presenting is pure illusion. Since GH is presented as a docu-soap as opposed to a documentary, I just always assumed that the reality TV editing "magic" was part and parcel of the package. But like I say – I assume that of pretty much every "reality" show.

I use the analogy of professional wrestling. Everyone knows that isn't real, but for years it was this huge "do they or don't they" kind of secret. I know this because a modeling job I had mannnny mannnnny years ago was to be a "manager" for a professional wrestler and we were NOT allowed to say wrestling was fake which cracked me up because I always thought it was obvious even though there seemed to be so many people who believed it. Still, that standard was always okay for professional wrestling because it was sort of presented with a wink and a nudge to the audience even though nobody ever said outright it was fake.

Can you imagine what would happen if they did that with other professional sports like football? There's always been a subtle distinction though – it is expected of wrestling but not football. And creative editing is expected of "reality" TV but not of documentaries.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Havent they said that before? /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

and its NEVER that exciting /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

So I don't know if you guys saw the new episode tonight, but I just watched it and found it highly suspicious that Jay and Grant intentionally put a camera facing an object reported to move, yet part of the object is just off the camera so some one very physically there could in fact move it. Why not turn the camera a hair?

So does that mean Kris Williams is going to admit to plastic surgery?

would that really be shocking Monk /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />
