REALITY SECRETS MORE SECRETS YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW

TV Guide magazine collected "secrets" you may not know about Reality shows:

The studio audience at "Dancing With the Stars" is not allowed to wear jeans and t-shirts or chew gum because producers want to create a swanky nightclub vibe.

"The Real Housewives" producers suggest interesting activities to cast members that might make for good viewing.

Ever wonder why the "Top Chefs" sweat so much? Air conditioning or fans interfere with the sound during filming, so they're not used in the kitchen. If you can't stand the heat...

Contestants on many shows are completely cut off from society no cell phones, Internet or other media.

Reality show candidates often have no idea which program they're even being cast in.
One big reason "DWTS'" eliminated pros are so eager to come back and dance on results night? Because when the stars are eliminated, their partners' salaries end, too. Shaking a tail feather for union scale helps keep the dough coming in.

Product placement agreements are a staple, and they're often less than subtle.
No pay, no play. Featuring logos and brand name merchandise without prior arrangement is prohibited. In the "Top Chef" pantry, all brand names are covered in black tape with the exception of the show's sponsors.
On "American Idol," contestants aren't given carte blanche to choose any song they want, as it appears. They have to choose from a list.
