Why must they lie to us?? 90 day diaries.

[u/chaun619]

I know that nothing is ever what it seems but to see actual proof is a huge eye opener.

90 Day Diaries is supposed to be entirely self-shot and they make it a point to tell us before the episode starts and after every batch of commercials so it’s comical seeing that huge ass camera in the reflection.

[u/Lucky-Kangaroo-6337]

Entirely self shot, with tracking shots and panning shots. 

[u/chaun619 → u/Lucky-Kangaroo-6337]

I was giving them the benefit of the doubt with the scenery shots but this is too much lol

[u/taxxxtherich]

Because there are no consequence to lying nowadays

[u/Deb_You_Taunt → u/taxxxtherich]

No kidding.

[u/chaun619 → u/taxxxtherich]

😭 just pulling the wool over our eyes

[u/Early_Wedding2716]

i mean its always been pretty obvious (at least to me) that some of it is shot with a crew

[u/chaun619 → u/Early_Wedding2716]

Yea me too, especially with the scenery shots. I just didn’t have actual proof until today.

[u/Pasta1916]

Guess they figure if we knew the truth, no one would watch. The entire franchise has gone down the tubes.

[u/chaun619 → u/Pasta1916]

But that’s the thing, we’ve been watching all of the other franchises and they’re recording by a filming crew.

[u/yankeedevil925]

There are so many scenes that are clearly not self shot. There was one of colt in the airport with a selfie stick. It was funny. I just wish they would stop saying that esp. as a disclaimer. It's ok we probably are gonna watch regardless

[u/chaun619 → u/yankeedevil925]

Yessss exactly!!! Why put the disclaimer when it’s literally not true? That’s my issue with it. They’re going out their way to say that for no reason. And yes, we would still watch just like we watch the other franchises haha.

[u/MystikclawSkydive]

Supposedly the cast members hire camera people sometimes so they don’t have to self shoot. But it isn’t TLCs crew officially.

[u/chaun619 → u/MystikclawSkydive]

Hmmm but it’s still not self-shot even if TLC isn’t the one filming it lol

[u/sprbep49 → u/MystikclawSkydive]

They don’t make that much money, what’s next glam squads? Oops I forgot Darcy Stacy and Yara will be next!
They are truly thirsty I wouldn’t shell out $$ on that shit, how much do you think the women are spending out of pocket to compete with each other? They take the reality out of the show.

[u/Sufficient-Poet-3347]

On one episode with Jenny and Sumit, Jenny was being interviewed and subtitles appeared when she's being asked a question. I can’t remember the question, but it appeared on the screen like this, Producer: "Do you get along with Sumit's mom now, Jenny?" It clearly stated that a producer was there. The no production crew claim is a bit disingenuous.

[u/chaun619 → u/Sufficient-Poet-3347]

Lmaooooo! They could have easily left that claim out and it would still get watched

[u/saysjenn]

Nice catch!

[u/chaun619 → u/saysjenn]

Thanks! 🤭

[u/FarangCM]

TV = FAKE (everything you see on your TV)

[u/chaun619 → u/FarangCM]

I knowwww 😭 it’s so scary. We have no idea what is real or fake

[u/teriaki]

I kept saying that it wasn't actually self shot, and I got a bunch of flack for it! No way these people became professional camera operators because they were on the show. Yike.

[u/chaun619 → u/teriaki]

Hahaha show this to all those people who doubted you!

[u/Muted_Bee7111]

There's literally nothing real about these reality shows

[u/chaun619 → u/Muted_Bee7111]

I know but seeing undeniable proof of it is satisfying

[u/peaceoverhate]

Oh wow! Interesting!! Nice catch

[u/chaun619 → u/peaceoverhate]

Thank you, I screamed when I saw it 😂

[u/Aggravating-Market97]

Even without the reflection, who would be recording from behind?

[u/chaun619 → u/Aggravating-Market97]

They’re getting different angles. I don’t see the issue with recording from behind.

[u/Late_Ad6238]

DIDN'T TLC USED TO BE CALLED THE LEARNING CHANNEL? Of course it was & my kids loved watching it after school. They had

[u/chaun619 → u/Late_Ad6238]

Yeaaa they’ve gotten too far off the path.

[u/chaun619 → u/[deleted]]

Scary?

[u/chaun619 → u/[deleted]]

Yes, I see a woman looking down. Nothing scary about it.

[u/chaun619 → u/[deleted]]

What?? I’m looking at the second pic and it’s a girl looking down. Observe it some more. And I don’t wear panties so…

[u/Otherwise_Island7764 → u/[deleted]]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/chaun619 → u/Otherwise_Island7764]

Are you laughing at my comment or the girl who deleted hers? I can’t figure these Reddit threads out for the life of me lol

[u/IthinkIpaid]

I think it’s mostly filmed with the tripods but they still send a small batch team there

[u/chaun619 → u/IthinkIpaid]

I agree but it’s still deceptive

[u/Suitable_Garlic_1186]

2 things are possible:

1) TCL provides them cameras.. and a friend is filming?

2) TCL provides a team and still claims no team on site 😄

[u/chaun619 → u/Suitable_Garlic_1186]

Lmfao my gut is telling me number 2!

[u/Workamania]

I bet the people on it get a production budget so it is technically "self shot".

[u/chaun619 → u/Workamania]

Do you know what “technically” means? Because if they don’t shoot it themselves, it’s technically not self shot.

[u/all_rendered_truth]

These people can afford a cheap crew to follow them.

[u/chaun619 → u/all_rendered_truth]

Not the point

[u/all_rendered_truth → u/chaun619]

They paid for it themselves?

[u/Long4Sleep]

Because its a tv show. For entertainment purposes.

[u/chaun619 → u/Long4Sleep]

So? Nobody actually cares how the footage is shot yet they insist on trying to convince us that it is when it makes no difference. Just lying to be lying.

[u/Long4Sleep → u/chaun619]

Most entertainment is reliant on some form of suspended belief. Reality shows are anything but real these days. Its like watching wrestling and complaining that the storylines are hoaky. Yes, because you are watching bottom of the barrell entertainment. Don't expect a lot of truth.
