Former Reality Show Contestants Are Sharing Their Wildest And Most Shocking Experiences
A while back, I rounded up the most shocking experiences from BuzzFeed Community members who've ever appeared on or auditioned for a reality show to share their most shocking experiences. In the comments, people shared even more! Here are 16 of their top responses: Some responses are from this post and this post as well. Disclaimer: These stories have not been verified. The users are supposedly speaking from their own experiences. 1."I used to transcribe some reality TV shows, typically romance ones. The couples were genuine, and even the feelings seemed real, but the lines were fed to them and twisted their emotions to be what the production companies wanted. I was paid to transcribe everything I heard, so I'd transcribe them saying one thing when the cameras weren't rolling, and then transcribe the conversation with the production team where they were prompted to word their feelings in an often manipulated way. Then I'd transcribe them repeating the lines they'd been fed back to the rolling camera. Sometimes they'd express a degree of frustration at having to use words that didn't match their true feelings. I was never a big fan of the genre, but it put me off reality TV for life." —cakecheese 2."Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell filmed at a restaurant I worked at. That's how we got the new hire executive chef we needed. The restaurant had two swinging doors, one to go in and one to go out. They had my coworker fill a tray of drinks and intentionally spill them when someone came in the opposite way through 'the only swinging door' in the restaurant. My coworker played her part masterfully. 😂" —smokinace 3."I've tried out for American Idol and The Voice. I was a karaoke DJ for 10 years. I've been asked to sing for military awards ceremonies and private parties (nothing big), but I've been told I'm a good singer, so I should try out. I went in for The Voice. They took one look at me, gave me three seconds to sing, and said bye. They didn't give anyone a real chance unless they were already interested in you." —mizmanet 4."I saw the American Idol audition experience in person. They have casting judges before you get to TV, and they deliberately filter out good singers to film the bad ones or stupid-looking costumes for entertainment." —panda_13 5."When I auditioned for American Idol, I could hear hundreds of beautiful voices that continuously got rejected. The only people I saw picked were either dressed crazily (a guy dressed in full tinfoil while holding a toothbrush as tall as him) or people who acted wildly (a girl danced her way up to a producer like Shakira in slow motion). They did make it onto the show though, so...." —helenmelon16 6."I know a couple who broke up and went to court because he wanted the ring back, and she was keeping it. They were contacted by a court TV show asking them if they wanted to be on. I imagine they have low-level employees just scrolling through state online filings of court cases looking for anything juicy." —hans___ 7."I can confirm. I took an ex to small claims court about 10 years ago and got a letter from one of those judge shows. I didn't do it, but my mom wanted me to since it was one of the judges she used to watch." —flyerboy6 8."I worked on…we'll call it a controversial UK morning talk show, which is no longer in production. We absolutely used to seek out stories in this manner, and even worse tactics. 😬" —britneypeedonaladybug 9."This girl I went to high school with tried out for The Real World in like 2008. She was pretty, popular, and dramatic and had three pet tigers, so I don't know why they passed on her. Now she's married to a famous rapper and is an influencer with more than a million IG followers." —beaniebaby99 10."I took the test for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Couple of things: I didn't realize you take the test first but have to stay through at least two show tapings to get your results, so I guess that's how they get at least part of their studio audience. The other thing that struck me was how hard the test questions were versus how easy the show questions were. It was curious to me how some of the contestants even made it on the show when they were missing so many of the questions. If they could pass that test in the first place, the show shoulda been a piece of cake! 🤷🏽♀️" —sthumphrey24 11."A girl I worked with was runner-up on The Bachelor. It was before it was a launching pad for social media careers, so she kept her real job and has a reasonable online presence. She actually came off as more mellow on the show than she is in person, which is probably the best outcome you can hope for." —beaniebaby99 12."Why anyone would be on a reality TV show is beyond me. There was a couple in my friend's neighborhood who were on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They had four kids with disabilities, so the house was built accordingly. Afterwards, the property taxes soared, and they couldn't afford to live there. They sold it and moved elsewhere. The construction was supposedly pretty half-baked, too." —demoncopperhead 13."My friend was scouted for My Strange Addiction because she makes a living through teaching and working with taxidermy. They wanted to portray her as some sort of dead animal addict who compulsively messed with the corpses. It was not the case at all. She had and has a normal life outside of her work and is perfectly healthy." —problematik 14."Went to a taping of Whose Line Is It Anyway?. Ruined the show for me. They did multiple takes of a lot of it, with some jokes repeated, and others slightly tweaked." —mustaaaaard 15."I had a friend go on Tattoo Fixers. He was shown the designs before he actually went on the show, so he knew what he was going to get. The 'reveal' part was filmed a few weeks later after it'd healed, so he had to fake a surprised look." —doublekmama finally: "I was on Trading Spaces while I was volunteering for the Ronald McDonald House. Doug was the designer. He chose to renovate the day room as a thank you because his nephew had cancer, and his parents had stayed in one while he was in treatment. It was really sweet and turned out gorgeous." —bestunicorn88 If you've ever been on a reality show, what was your experience like?

I Tried The Skin-Renewing SPF Dua Lipa Takes On Holiday – And My Skin's Never Been Happier
We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication. As a pale, ginger Scottish person, if there's one thing that's a complete and utter non-negotiable in my skin care routine, it's a brilliant SPF. The problem is though, not all sunscreens and suncreams are created equally. Some feel greasy and seep through your make-up, others clog your pores and result in a summer of pimples that just won't quit. And then, god forbid, you accidentally buy an SPF that isn't sweat proof and you end up with a burn. If there's one person I'll trust the judgement of, however, when it comes to holiday skin care (although we should be wearing SPF all year round people!), it's the queen of vacationing herself, Dua Lipa. And fortunately, on her recent trip to Sicily, the New Rules singer gave us a glimpse of her holiday essentials – with one notable skincare product making the cut. In the background of a holiday snap of an Aperol spritz shared to Instagram, we can see Dua has been using Augustinus Bader's new SPF product, The Suncreen SPF 50. I've written before about the wonder brand that is Augustinus Bader – the skin care company whose products Dua Lipa has reported that she 'can't live without', so much so that their Eye Patches and The Rich Cream have a permanent place in her handbag. It's no surprise then that the singer has opted for the brand's latest product as her preferred sun protection. The brand has a serious celebrity fanbase – Victoria Beckham, recently collaborated with them on her own skincare line and concealer. Alexa Chung and Margot Robbie are fans of the skincare's patented TFC8® technology too – a proprietary blend of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and peptides that supports the body's capacity to renew. So naturally, if it's good enough for that list of stars, I was willing to try it out. The lightweight broad-spectrum sunscreen is non-greasy and fast absorbing – a welcome escape from other sticky formulas. Given that the brand markets their SPF as suncare meets skincare, it promises to protect you from UVA and UVB ray s as well as renewing your skin at the same time – both of which I found super effectively when I tried it out for myself. From having tried out (and now permanently using) Augustinus Bader's award-winning Rich Cream, I know that my skin drinks up their TFC8 blend and looks better for it – and The Sunscreen had the exact same effect. My skin looks lifted, fresher and I feel great about going make up free – and most importantly, there's no chance of my face getting burnt. I'm lazy at the best of times when it comes to my skincare routine, so having a product that does the work of a serum, a moisturiser and an SPF all in one is my kind of product. When I do wear foundation over the SPF, the sunscreen doesn't seep through – leaving my base looking flawless (if I do say so myself x) all day. Although the product comes with a hefty price tag, what I will say for The Suncreen is that a little goes a LONG way and for all the celeb hype surrounding Augustinus Bader, it certainly lives up to it!

6 Pro Tips for Getting Kids to Pose for Back-to-School Pictures
With all those adorable back-to-school pictures showing up on your Instagram feed in August and September, it's easy to think that everyone but you has kids who will pose for photos. The truth is, a lot of parents struggle to get their kids to smile for the camera as the new school year gets underway. As a photographer, I've worked with a lot of kids over the years and developed a few tricks for getting them to cooperate when that's not really on their agenda at the moment. You can totally use these to get the first-day-of-school pictures of your dreams. Most kids like to have a little advance warning (or in the case of my son on the autism spectrum, a lot of advance warning) before something happens, especially if it's something that requires them to act a certain way. In the week before the first day of school, talk about how you'll be taking photos. No matter how old your kids are, they'll appreciate the head's up. Quick Tip Talking about the back-to-school pictures ahead of time gives you a chance to explain your expectations too. Let them know what kind of pictures you want to get and how long you expect the photos to take. Traditionally, school pictures happen on the morning of school starting, but this isn't always the best time for kids. There's a lot that changes when school starts, and this can be a stressful time of transition for kids. Imagine having someone take pictures of you on the morning you were about to start a new job. But the morning school starts isn't the only option for taking first day of school pictures. Give them a couple of options for when you could take the pictures. You could do it any time in the days leading up to school starting, and this could be a way more relaxing experience for all of you. Also, kids like having choices and the power to say what they want. As someone who has photographed her kids nearly every day for almost a decade, I can tell you from experience that you'll get better photos if you pay your models. Talk to kids about what they might want and then make a deal. This isn't the best strategy for babies and toddlers who haven't yet learned to delay gratification, but it's an instant win with school-aged kids. What works for my kids might not work for your kids, but as their parent, you probably know what will. You can always ask the kids too. Here are a few ideas for incentives that tend to work well: Fancy school supplies A new school outfit or accessory A special first-day-of-school lunch treat Candy (probably better after school) Screen time An after-school outing to a favorite arcade or park The chance to skip a chore You know how you can get people to agree to something if they have some creative buy-in? That's true of kids and photos too. Sure, they might suggest the standard goofy-face picture or something super strange involving stuffed animals or even real animals, but chances are, you're shooting these with your phone or a digital camera. You can take a lot. Take some with their ideas and some with yours. You'll get some weird ones, sure — but you'll also get some great ones. Quick Tip You might find you actually love the weird kid-idea photos just as much as the ones you planned to take. I love doing side-by-side comparisons with a goofy face picture and a regular smiling one. As kids get older, their time matters more to them. It makes sense; they have more demands on them. They may not want to sign up for taking back-to-school photos if they think it's going to be too time-consuming. Agree on a time limit (try to negotiate for at least five minutes per kid, but take what you can get). Let kids set a timer or watch the clock. If you have older kids, they might be hesitant to do school pictures because they don't want you to post them online. Talk about this ahead of time to see if they'd like to have some say in what you do with the photos. Worst case, you won't get to show off the pictures online, but you'll still have them for yourself. Quick Tip Have one kid that just refuses to be in your back-to-school pictures, no matter what you do? Take a picture of their backpack or lunch box as a stand in. It's not what you want, but it's guaranteed to be funny when you look back on it in years to come. Going back to school is kind of a big deal — both for kids and for parents. This is a milestone that matters, and back-to-school pictures can help you capture it. If you can get the kids on board, you'll end up with some great shots you can share with friends and family.
