People will do anything for TV. Especially with something like the Real World. Producers do interfere. And the people on it certainly know when the cameras are on and are thus always acting to an extent, hence why I think it's bullshit.
With Big Brother it's different. You go into the house and eventually it's just your life. You wake up, you do your thing and you go back to sleep all in this enclosed space with no direct interference from anything or anyone else. Sure you know the cameras are watching you but unless you are in the diary room chances are most of the time you forget and it slips into your subconscious. You can't play up a character 24/7.
In Big Brother arguments happen because 14 locked up wankers will eventually cross paths. In The Real World arguments happen because ... well ... it's the real world. Gotta create some drama sister, etc etc.

As with other reality shows, The Real World has received criticism for being staged.[22][51] During a reunion show featuring the first four Real World casts, Heather Gardner, of the original New York cast, asked some members of the San Francisco cast if their situations were real. She noted that situations from the original season seemed to repeat themselves in the other incarnations, stopping short of accusing them of acting. On an edition of the E! True Hollywood Story that spotlighted the series, cast member Jon Brennan revealed that he was asked by the producers to state on the air that he felt hatred towards housemate Tami Roman for her decision to have an abortion, and that he refused to do so, stating that although he disagreed with her decision, he did not feel hatred towards her. Another accusation is that producers selectively edit material to in order to give the false impression of certain emotional reactions or statements from the castmates.[52]
Some critics see the very concept of being in "the real world" as a misnomer, asserting that in the real world, people do not live in luxurious dwellings for free, are not "given" jobs in the media without any effort, and are not taken to exotic locations for free.[53]
