WAGS

WAGS, which follows the lives and dramas of sports stars’ wives, quickly became one of E!’s most popular shows. To keep the show interesting for viewers, the producers created drama between the women, and the show was heavily reliant on fake scenarios. The women’s conversations and rivalry were all made up, despite the fact that the marriage breakdowns were real. To add some variety, women who weren’t dating athletes were also included in the mix.

Before filming could begin, the homeowners, like other house shows, had to purchase the property. This suggests that they aren’t really debating the three houses depicted at the beginning of the episode. The owners will only keep it if they are willing to pay for it because none of Joanna Gaines’ carefully arranged décor or furniture is included in the budget. Neither has every room in the house been remodeled. Meanwhile, it’s been suggested that Chip only works on the house when the cameras are turned on.
