As reported by one Reddit user, who claimed to be on The Singing Bee when Melissa Peterman hosted, the selection of contestants was anything but random. "When the show opens, it looks like [Peterman] is picking people out of the crowd who sing the correct lyrics to compete. But really, we were preselected and flown into Burbank before the show," the user wrote. The user also revealed that contestants were coached in the basement level of the studio, and had a chance to practice the opening song over and over.
Keep in mind that many reality competition series hide certain things from the audience. According to one Reddit user, the lifelines for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire can actually google the answers to questions. In addition, Jeopardy! producers encourage contestants to start at the top of the categories and play straight down to reduce category-jumping, as reported by BuzzFeed.
Whether these game show revelations annoy you or not, it's safe to say that nearly every show has a few secrets.
