I love this show but remember the episode when they got on the ship and then "SHOT A CANNON" to blow up the Tiki Bar they made on the island? That cannon shot was completely CGI and they acted as if it was real. WTF?

Yeah this show mostly scripted and fake, like most MTV "reality" shows. I had a friend on NEXT and he said the producers made them do retakes with new lines that were written for them. And when the shooting started taking too long (about an hour, doesnt seem that long to me..) they pulled out papers with lines for them to read and the show became COMPLETELY scripted, down to the choices of whether or not a second date should happen because the producers needed to "get the shots before we lose the sun" ..at 1pm!

Haha i saw that episode for the first time last night after buying season 2 and 3. Oh god, that was so bad. And also in the golf one when Bam and i can't remember who he's with gets stuck up in the cherry picker thing cos the guy took the keys. Was it meant to fool us that he threw the keys in the woods too? Cos it's quite clear they're still in his hand. And as if neither Bam or that other guy checked those buttons to see if they would bring them down before four and a half hours.

yeah i see what your saying with the buttons,
but cmon,
these guys can be pretty stupid sometimes,
as much as i love them.
half the time theyre drunk too.
they probly wouldnt check if the buttons let them down at all!
also, i dont reckon they really were up there for four hours.
no way!
someone would have found them or something by then!

i just sometimes cringe when i watch that episode because they all act like it really happened nd your just like sitting there, barely able to watch them degrade themselves further. Lol and where did the fire come from on the cannon shot!? lol
I WILL find the writers of the last 3 American Pie movies, if you can call them that. -

Or the fact that when they shot them from the ground, they were up in the cherry picker alone.
Yet there was obviously a cameraman up there filming them when they'd show close ups from inside the cherry picker.
What about Raab's trailer getting blown up? It's not CGI, but it's obvious that the guy from Bloodhound Gang didn't just saunter in there and put a ton of dynamite in it (or at least enough to cause that massive explosion) without anyone knowing or preparing major safety precautions.
And you know that everytime they screw up someone's private property in a seemingly carefree manner, someone from MTV is right behind them to give that person a nice big check for their troubles (and they also need them to sign the release to be on TV, so the people can't be THAT mad), if the people weren't in on it from the start.
Also, if you really want me to be a jerk and ruin the show, why would Don Vito continue to hang around them when they made his life completely miserable?
I do think that they really thought up those stunts and crazy things to do, and a lot of the pranks were spur of the moment. But once the ideas came up, they scripted and set certain things up that were not as spontaneous as it would seem.
I still thought it was a fun show to watch though.
