People who think shows like TOWIE or Made in Chelsea are anything but a scripted drama show are lying to themselves. You may
want to believe, in the same way a kid who's just about grown out of believing in Santa wants to hold onto that belief for one more year, but c'mon ... It's about as real as wrestling.
So they may be pondlife, but I wouldn't rule them out
because they're classed as reality stars.
YouTubers on the other hand at least have some graft, they're low tier entrepreneurs. YouTube videos aren't my thing, I could never get into watching someone mumble or shout into a webcam
but they at least did it on their own.
