Boy I'm not sure there is as much scripting going on with this show. I do think some parents and coaches maybe act up more than they usually would because they know they are on tv, but it doesn't have that scripted feel. Like, hey today we all decided to rub honey on our bodies and run through bear infested woods and see what kind of crazy things might happen. By the way, I hate that type of reality TV. They really just show practice and games and a little in between. When you have crazy TX/PA football parents, you get enough action to film. MrTPlush - I agree on reality TV being a slippery slope. We use to watch a fair amount of "scripted" reality tv and then one day said, this is not doing us any good, so we dropped them all. The only other reality TV we watch is Deadliest Catch. Which again, I'd say is on the lower end of being scripted. There is enough crazy action out there that they don't need to make a bunch of fake storylines. I know they still do at times (putting random greenhorns out there to fail, things like that), but it seems like you're mainly watching real footage for the most part.
