Top Chef
The good news is that this show is not as fake as the other ones in the world of cooking shows. Even so, it still pre-plans certain things for a little TV magic. During the first season of the show, one of the celebrity chefs threw a tantrum because the dishes were no longer warm by the time the judges could try them. The cameramen had to hold everyone up as they got close-up shots of the dishes. This means that the contestants had to make two dishes: one for the cameras, and the other for the judges!
