Great article, Lars! It fits in with what I've pretty much known all 
along - that "reality" shows, like all TV shows, are "manipulated" 
(a more appropriate word) for dramatic effect. 

Some friends of mine were on a family "reality" show, "Meet Mister 
Mom" (http://www.nbc.com/Meet_Mister_Mom/). In this show, they take 
two large families where the mom runs the house, send the moms off 
to a spa for a week and give dad and the kids challenges. One 
challenge was a family game of football. My friends clobbered the 
other team (their kids are very athletic) but for the show the game 
became a tie.

There's so much footage taken that they can present people and 
situations in whatever manner they wish. BATG was filmed over the 
course of a week or two, so it's a small sample of someone's 
personality in what I imagine is a stressful situation. You have to 
give credit to Tyson that he continually presents as a good guy in 
the show. (My daughter was sad when Tyson and Thais were 
eliminated). 

Random question for Tyson: My wife commented that "I'll bet those 
women never talked to any of the guys again after the show was 
done?" Can you prove her wrong? (I said I'd bet some ex-contestants 
send email back and forth).
