With the help of CGI, we can see how magic happens in movies. On the other hand, TV does exactly the same thing to fool people who watch it at home. Still, there's no CGI or any advanced technology, TV producers used to get some simple tricks to make viewers believe in what they see in the show.
It's no need to say that these low-tech tricks result in great effects for TV Shows because they still made a hit with a great number of loyal fans. However, people might not know the facts behind these successful programs.
Today, we've compiled a list of 11 lies and tricks that TV producers used to make a fool out of us. Below are the most unbelievable ones to share, scroll down and check them out!
After winning, each contestant has to finish stacks of paperwork to get their prize in the mail (via check).
When it comes to all the furniture, the contestants don't consider keeping it. Booo! If they love it, they must spend their money on it from Joanna Gaines' store Magnolia Market.
Producers record "surprise" staged reactions of the viewers and they must wait until it airs to p out who it is.
“The producers already know everything and that’s why the catfishes are already wearing mics.
Supposedly though, they don’t tell Nev and his investigations are all real, as he doesn’t know any details.”
Producers record both reactions and decide which one will get aired.
"What do you think lies behind door number one?! From @hilary_farr and @davidvisentin1’s faces, it can’t be good!!!"
In this video Josh is not driving the car! It’s hitched up to a trailer. But… he does actually drive, (see below).
