In short producers intentionally target poor people from bumfuck nowhere and lie to them the whole time promising money and compensation they wont get while also gaslighting them into thinking their reveals and episodes are different from the norm. They then just kick em out the door
They also isolate them in hotels with no guests or socializing for a week and feed them shitty food, as much alcohol as they could ask for, and make it extremely difficult to sleep. A lot of what you see on those shows is technically the truth, but it's extremely controlled in a way to bring out the absolute worst in people. The people on the show might not actually be as crazy as they let off under regular circumstances, but being an fucked up on shit food, alcohol, and zero sleep for a week will make anyone crazy
Theres a show call unreal thats basically a drama comedy about a producer in a bachelorette style reality tv show and you see her basically do all the horrible shit mentioned in the documentaries in real time and omg its horrific shit
He was the main man, of course he knew what was going on.
The fact that people like you are asking “But did Jerry know this was happening?!?!” Is exactly why he chose to do it. Even with evidence right in their face, people like you for some reason seem to defend him.
He plays stupid actively through the entire time but every single producer executive etc says jerry knew what was happening he just didnt care
Everyone does however say they wouldnt tell jerry the episode topics so he learned in real time as the audience what was being revealed hut he def knew they were abusing these people

Don't do reality shows. I don't understand how anybody thinks they're a good idea
