Default TLC: "Cake Boss" is fake

Ok. I'm going on the offensive here against the show Cake Boss. I've seen probably 7-8 episodes now and I must say, the whole show seems rehearsed. There are way too many things that "happen" while the cameras are rolling like dropping a cake down the stairs or the stupid pranks that the bunch pull against each other. A lot of the lines seem rehearsed too. They take every Italian cliche and stereotype and take it to the nth degree.

I think the show that clued me into believing the rehearsed scheme was the stripper cake show that Buddy and the crew had to make with out the mom seeing it. But she happens to come in at the perfect time after the cake is finished and in the refrigerator and says the infamous line, "No way, No how!"

I don't watch this show, but TLC has really gone downhill as a network. I remember when their shows were educational in scope. Now they are more into the Gosselins and such ridiculous stuff.

Yes, we feel the same exact way. It used to be more about "The Learning Network" type programming, but now it's gone the way of what I consider MTV programming. All reality TV with sex or conflict.

I don't mind some of TLC's shows, but I refuse to watch any reality TV that looks like it's been rehearsed or scripted.

You're crazy!! JK.

Here's part of what I'm talking about. I mean it's so perfect that the mom walks right to where they're keeping the cake and reacts to it. The whole show is based on things like this and the fact that the pranks that are pulled always seem to work out perfectly against everyone but Buddy the owner.

+ YouTube Video

That was a great episode! haha, the bachelorette and her girlfriends were hot and pretty happy with the cake when Buddy took the robes off of the dancers.
