As of 2015, forty eight-ish "reality" TV shows are being filmed in and around Alaska. Being a relatively small state with regard to population, I happen to know quite a few people who have worked both behind the scenes and in front of the camera on one or more of these projects and I've narrowly avoided the same fate myself. I can say with confidence, it's all bullshite and it's all bad for you.

Don't believe anything you see on TV. None of it resembles reality.
