Were You Also Fooled Into Thinking That These Reality TV Shows Are Authentic?

Auction Hunters

You read the following introduction at the start of each episode: “Each year Allen Haff and Ton Jones dig through hundreds of unclaimed storage units hunting for discarded treasures. These are the stories of their most rare and valued discoveries.” Each episode appears to be a replay of authentic true-life events, according to the program. No, it’s not real; Auction Hunters is a staged production. The show’s stars are Allen and Clinton Jones, both of whom are actors. All of the storage units are set up, with items that are miraculously priceless.
