Most of the "reality" shows I've seen have the actors ab libbing within the thinnest tracks of whatever narrative the director wants to push.

It's so bad when they try to come up with little plots and character arcs for episodes. Oh no! Dr. Pimple Popper has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas!
