The TLC Show Fans Think Is Totally Fake

As it turns out, Nicki Swift's survey revealed a pretty clear winner in terms of fakeness. And that is "Sister Wives," raking in 32.34% of the total vote. In case you're curious, here's how the rest of the survey shook out: "Welcome to Plathville" got 13.50%, "Outdaughtered" got 15.70%, "The Family Chantel" earned 16.95%, "Counting On" 10.68%, and "Sweet Home Sextuplets" 10.83%.

If you've followed along with any "Sister Wives" behind-the-scenes news at all, this shouldn't come as a total shocker. The show has long been accused of staging drama and scripting plots. It's pretty much an open secret at this point that the show's producers cut and re-edit scenes out of sequence to create more dramatic plot points, for one thing, including rearranging and restaging scenes to make it look like the Meri divorce and sneaky Robyn wedding happened on camera (it didn't), via All About the Tea.

There's also evidence that whole storylines have been made up, especially those that indicate the family has been persecuted for their religion. For example, they were not forced to move out of Utah because of anti-bigamy laws; they had planned the Las Vegas move all along. In fact, it doesn't look like anyone is really going after them for their polyamorous arrangement, per Radar Online. So that's that!
