Project Runway
It is not true that just because a show is popular does not mean it is not “fake.” Many contestants, notably Daniel Esquivel and Jack Mackenroth, have expressed their dissatisfaction with the judging aspect of the game. Esquivel has spoken out in particular about how the show’s producers allegedly customized it to sensationalize the contestants to an extreme level.

In little time, this show became a smash hit. The team, led by business owner Buddy Valastro, created beautiful and detailed cake designs for us to admire. The truth, though, is that things aren’t quite as dramatic as they appear. For one reason, Valastro rarely visits the business unless they are filming something. Furthermore, some of the events and weddings are acted out.
