TLC Behind the Scenes

I saw a guy I used to work with on TV. He was on 'Trading Spaces', a show where families do a home improvement on a room in the others' house. He wrote:

TLC says "life unscripted"? There is nothing unscripted about TV....They have a complete plan and we're coached, persuaded, directed, and sometimes told what to say. In fact, we had to re-do severl scenes since no swearing, drinking etc. I started to fall off a ladder and said of sh** and the director yelled CUT - this is a family show - re do it.

Good thing he didn't hammer his thumb!
