Fake. It seems like the people they choose for the show, couples, want exact opposite things, I'm sure for the effect. Seems singles just want to be on TV. Wants and needs are over the top, do they not research price? I've always watched the show because I was interested in how other cultures live, I'm really turned off by the way they make Americans look superficial and just spoiled really. Get some sincere people with real responses, not scripted!
