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

Nurses are used to dealing with unfriendly patients, but this one has a story that most other nurses can’t match. Their patient was particularly rude and treated everyone horribly. The situation was so bad that the patient’s family felt the need to apologize to the nurse while she struggled to give the ornery patient the care they needed.

That patient also happened to be a participant in the show Hoarders. Once the nurse discovered that, she was quick to watch the episode for herself. The patient’s behavior on the show matched what she showed in the hospital. At least, in this case, we can say that the producers were not fabricating anything for theatrical effects.
