I'm a film editor so don't say it's editing. If you are merely conscious while watching these episodes, you will see the different hair styles with the women on back to back shots. Most of the stars are previous actors. It's one of the worst portrayed "reality" shows I've ever seen. Yet I watch for the comedic effect.
shareThis is filmed at the same time. Editing to make it seem like it's real. All of these episodes are fake. Why would the "in charge" guys wait until the airing to make changes? Money!
shareI don't think it's fake. They are locked up in a real jail with real inmates. It's pretty obvious no one is following a script. So what about when the guys were getting their arses kicked? That was real. I think they edit of course, like any show, to make it more dramatic. And even film some interviews after they leave, because they didn't get everything they needed during filming.
shareHe literally just told you it is fake. Their hair changes between cuts. Did you even read past the first line?
shareAnd does he work on this show? Was he in the jail with them? Nope and nope. Which means it's just an opinion not a fact. He doesn't know anymore than I know. He's guessing but stating like it's a fact just because he's a film editor. But he's not an editor for this show so...
shareAlso, their hair changes because, like I stated in my original comment, some of the interviews are filmed after they've already been released. Shows do this sometimes when they need more on specific events.
shareI guess I don't understand the OP's post saying that it isn't editing. Seems to me that that is exactly the issue he is describing! All the footage is edited together to tell the story they want to tell for each individual episode. Hair changes sometimes not only during cuts when they are giving interviews, but throughout the entire episode. They can pan past say Ashleigh and one moment her hair is clean and straight, pan back 5 seconds later and it's in a ponytail and hardly brushed. Then add in what you said about some interviews being finished up later, it all has to be spliced together. I don't think at all that any of that indicates that it is fake. They are actually there, the others are real inmates, and the people decided to participate for whatever reasons they had. It is however highly manipulated, and edited into whatever the producers want it to be. If they wanted, they could have made Quinten out to look like a raving lunatic and Monalisa to look like a saint. I just take it for what it is, and enjoy it if I like it. It is just mindless TV.
Why the OP thinks we need to "trust him because he is a film editor" that it is fake sounded more like him wanting to lend credibility to his opinion, than it did to prove his post being fact.
I can't die! I have 43 twitter followers that depend on me! oh, and I have a daughter.
I've seen Zac and Ashley on lt Joe kenda homicide hunter. They are actors. Makes me so mad because I wanted to believe this was real.
I suppose that actors would be the best choice to play first timers in jail. *beep* desperate actors.I dunno if it was fake or not now. was sure that I'd seen one of the sheriff guys before in something. But all the genie inmates and the beat downs??? They weren't fake.
shareI saw this post and had to make an account to clarify for every future person who would see this. 60 Sixty gays in is 100% real. You said it's not editing but it definitely is.
What they will go do with the boring stays is edit it in such a way, stitching scenes that are hours, entire days, even weeks apart if they find the right footage. Here is one example video: https://youtu.be/re8crzwalmI
The video is poorly made and there's even a constant droning of computer generated noise but the video shows this "fight" that supposedly happened. In reality it is multiple scenes stitched together to give the illusion that something other than an editor's hasty trash happened.
What to look for in the video. Look at the last 2 bunks furthest to the right of the area and notice how the scenes where the camera changes to cut in for a close up view shows the scene when there's a guy on the bottom bunk and there's no one above him and no towel draped on the bunk. Further scenes and cuts of this same supposed"beef" battle they're trying to edit as if it went down clearly shows the top bunk inmate appear for one camera viewpoint and disappears for another. The towel is also seen varying and it's a mess with multiple times put into one.
Anyways what you're saying about it not being editing, I'm assuming could actually be one of the inmates secretly telling another person that he's doing the show to help stir up fake beef and then the editor's might capitalize on that.
But the whole thing is definitely real jail, but as you can see it's boring for a large majority of the time with dudes in there for DUI or missing child support or failing probation and waiting for trial or court dates and thus uneventful. But fights that happen are actually there BUT I'm willing to bet there's gotta be at least one fight that the inmates had because they found out about the show and wanted to be famous in a fight that otherwise might not have ever happened if there was no show
