A Different Reality: Ex-Participants Are Giving Us A Sneak Peak Into The Curious World of Reality TV Shows

Here’s another story of a reality show that means, well, doing more harm than good. When you end up on Extreme Makeover, you expect to have your home improved and to have some of the trauma-related issues in your life resolved to a degree. At the very least, you don’t expect to be worse off than before.

Despite those expectations, ending up worse off was exactly what happened to the family in this story. In fact, being on the show caused them not to have a home at all. Rather than having their problems solved, the family was left homeless with plenty of regrets.
