Our show isnt really scripted and there are a lot of shows…
“Our show isnt really scripted and there are a lot of shows that are, like, The Hills. But our show is not scripted in that way. Before we start every season, we have a meeting [with producers] seeing whats going on in our lives, and they put the camera crews with whoever has the most events. Were stuck with the cameras for months, for a three-month period off and on. Nothings scripted in that sense. Theres people who say, We wish you would do that or show this, but weve all met as a family and weve decided that we wont do anything just because the producers ask us to.”
