The Hunting Lies
So real-life hunters watching Swamp People and similar shows are often offended by the fact that the realities of hunting are not conveyed in the show. Some frustrated viewers have complained fiercely about the way things are represented on Swamp People.
It is suspected that the alligators are dead already before the cast is seen to be wrestling them. Of course, the largest ones are chosen for the screen, so people are led to imagine that these huge creatures are far more common than they really are.
A Poor Eye for a Purchase
Viewers love the banter between the staff and customers over price, but if you’ve been paying attention, you know that most of the negotiations are somewhat staged. It’s usually the case that the staff get a good deal, but there have also been some unwise purchases.
Some of these bad purchases they admitted to; like the time Corey bought stolen Rolex watches and the time they bought cubic zirconias. But these mistakes can be very expensive. The fake Willie May uniform cost them around $10,000!
