Is MTV's x effect fake?

Question

is it all set up, do they apply for the show? because they just can't ''accidentally'' be at the same hotel as their ex's right?

Answer 1

the couples apply together to spend the whole weekend with each other. it says that right in the beginning of the show...that the ex's want to get over the past and that they have agreed to spend the weekend with the other couple....i think some of it is staged but then again isnt everything somewhat LED in the direction producers want it to go?

Answer 2

i have a true belief that every show on MTV is fake.

think about it, either the people on these shows have to be faker than plastic and total idiots. or it's staged.

i mean think about it you and your ex plus their signifigant other just happen to apply for the same luxery vacation and they jsut happen to run into eachother and then surprise your rooms get changed. it's soooo fake.

Answer 3

Yes it is a fake show. All those shows on MTV are fake.  You can tell they sound so scripted to.  I mean really, look at the show parental control. Ever single person they are trying to get rid of yells at either the mom or dad or both and the room they are using to interview is made out of cardboard.  It would be kind of cool if that stuff was real, but in the end it's not.

Here's a little piece of info about the show.  

Each episode takes place at a fictional resort hotel. The first season was filmed at the Canfield-Moreno Estate in Silver Lake, under the name "Canyon Vista Resort." It is a recording studio, not a functioning hotel. The second season of the show, which began airing in January 2008, is filmed in Miami Beach. It takes place at the "Casa Bella," though no hotel of this name operates in Miami Beach.
