Probably can't be. I doubt they can trust the average reality stah to be clever enough to make it up as they go along. It's too expensive a medium to take a chance on that.
Actually, one of the main reasons we are bombarded with so many reality shows is because they are incredibly cheap to produce.  

Compared to a fully-scripted show with a large cast, costumes, locations and all that? I'm sure that's true.

Reality shows still have a camera crew, a director, a producer or two, lighting and sound people and whatever else is required.

"Cheap" is a comparative term.
