Many thought the halt of scripted programming would lead to a reality boom, but even as fall schedules rely heavily on unscripted, workers still grapple with diminished job opportunities, long hours and a lack of union support: "We get starved out all the time."

I'm sorry I have zero sympathy for reality TV producers. Have you met them they're terrible

I met one of the producers on jersey shore Miami outside of a widespread panic show one time. He seemed nice enough. He was sucking down balloons and offered to share so that was nice of him. He didn't seem to love his job though, and jersey shore seems to be something of an outlier in that the subjects were hungry for, and relished the attention.

ETA: also shameless
