I didn't know this.

.

This basically. This does not sound all that different from any other show.

@multiple people I didn't know it was this fake so I thought I'd share incase others don't know it's this fake

The Ivy isn't hard to get into if you make a reservation and deal with paying a lot for a mediocre lunch... We get a summer house in La Jolla every year for 2 weeks... grandparents pay for it... Most of the people going to the event were typical LA groupies, not appealing.... The cigarette trash let me explain.

The waiting area for the VIP group was all concrete and it had a little garden off to the side. There was a trash can in the garden that I sat on, allowing others to deal.

It's not a fairy tale, just good trip planning and luck.

You sound like a bit of a twat

too bad you had to go through all that just to find out what is pretty common knowledge

I've been to 4 taping a of The X factor and it all just seems normal to be now though. It is a TV SHOW! And they produce it to make it the best they can. Everything you said didn't just happen at your taping it's happened at each taping of the show!

It's just about as fake as my country version of The Voice

This is HOW they tape a reality show. They have pre-rounds where production-executives and label people and whatnot scout out the people who are going to audition for what day. They go though hundreds/thousands of acts, and round it up to about 50-100 then round it down during the judges rounds. They keep people for jokes, and people with talent.

The taping of the show is obviously rigged. This is HOW A SHOW IS TAPED. There's person telling you when to cheer and they place goodlooking people in the front.

Well I already knew this.

This Idol/XFactor/TheVoice reviewer went to the Greensboro auditions last year. So some of the stuff you said was the same but I'm gonna post it.

Kiiiii the segregation tho

Must've been a huge waste of your money

All these shows are fake! I personally knew one of The Voice finalists and was there for 4 nights. Not only was the audience completely orchestrated, but everything from the judges reactions and even the performances were taken more than once and completely orchestrated. There were even a few performances were Christina wasn't in her chair for part of and most of the time when the camera was off her she was texting and not even paying attention.

On top of all that, there was a bunch of label buying that season which effected the results of who "went home" and who continued in the competition. That was the most shocking thing I learned (but then again, I guess it should be expected.)
