Did you all see the part where on episode 8 where Bartise's sister was talking to him about Nancy? Everything felt completed staged. As if the producers told her what to say line for line.
And the part where SK said no to Raven. She was not surprised at all. It's like she already knew what he was going to say.
Surely I am not the only seeing this?

It’s reality TV and not a documentary. I thought it was well known and accepted that the purpose of the producers is to set up the scenes to create a story line.
Before recording, producers have conversations with the ppl and encourage/tell them what topics to discuss.
We also know that at least some of the contestants tell each other what they are going to say at altar. Jessica has said she though Marc was going to say no because that is what they had agreed to, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Raven knew that SK was going to say no.
That's where the term "scripted reality tv" gets its meaning
every reality show produced these days is staged. not entirely scripted as in they have lines they have to read, but they have scenarios set up and talking points fed to them. from hell’s kitchen to the bachelor to love is blind to too hot to handle to married at first sight to jersey shore family vacation
It's definitely semi staged.
Maybe that’s why raven was crying really hard before the wedding? Ruining her makeup crying /: so maybe yeah found out that day by producers? I don’t think it’s tooootally scripted but it’s short notice/shock factor?
A lot of it feels very scripted. A lot of these shows do..especially when several couples have sudden arguments right before the big day - then we’re shocked when they get together.
Producers probably feed lines and let ppl improvise. That’s just how reality tv is.

I don’t know why people are acting like it’s a big deal that Raven was prepared for what SK was going to say. They live together and are engaged. It’s not surprising for her to have known where his head was at.
yea my girlfriend and i assumed that they probably had a conversation beforehand. the way she took the “i do not” seemed as if she knew it was coming. she asked for a hug and they both said they loved each other and afterwards she said sum like “i know it was hard for him to say that” honestly the most mature and genuine couple
Exactly. Especially for a couple like Raven and SK that seem to have true mutual care and respect for each other, it’d be cruel for him NOT to have warned her. Surely in most cases, they know.
I also think a lot about the families and bridal parties at those weddings. Imagine being the mother of the bride not knowing if this is a genuinely special life moment of your child’s wedding or if it’s just reality tv spectacle because your child (or their groom) is going to say no. I’m sure more people are already in the know of what’s coming than the show suggests.
