Reality TV friendships: Real or Fake?

In this podcast episode, Carlos King discusses the concept of reality TV friendships and questions their authenticity. He shares his belief that friendships formed on reality shows are often rooted in alliances rather than genuine connections. Using examples from the Real Housewives franchises, King explains that while these friendships may seem real during the show, they often fade away once the cameras stop rolling. He highlights the dynamic between Candy and Kenya from The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Tamra and Shannon from The Real Housewives of Orange County to illustrate his point. King concludes that genuine friendships are a rare occurrence in the reality TV world.
