Operation Repo Fake – Is Their Reality Show Tricking You?

Is your so-called reality show fooling you? It is said on the Internet that the hit Tru TV show Operation Repo it is in fact a fake.

People don’t like to feel cheated. It is a fact that American television networks are forgetting more and more often these days. If you ask, “Is the Repo operation bogus?” Then you are not alone. Online descriptions of the show often state “American television show in which a fictional recovery team …” and there is a disclaimer at the beginning of the show stating that it is based on actual events. (The stories portrayed in this show are based on true events. The names of the characters were changed to protect their identities … and some honor.)

There was also an Operation Repo movie in production that said actors reenact crazy foreclosure stories. Tru-TV describes it as “real-life stories told from an exciting and dramatic first-person perspective.” All of this variable terminology can leave a person confused as to whether the Repo Operation is real or fake and if it is based on real events, how much of that is actually true?

Since the show started in April 2008, there were many who watched it and claimed it was fake from the start. There can’t be so many outrageous people being repossessed, right?

While the cast members appear to be real and use their real names, I cannot find evidence that their company in the San Fernando Valley of the great state of California (where I previously lived) is actually real. Videos on the web show Luis as a comedian and Matt Burch has a website that describes his acting career.

The cast includes:

• Luis ‘Lou’ Pizarro – himself (Boss)
• Sonia Pizarro – herself (Lou’s sister)
• Froylan ‘Froy’ Third – himself (Lou’s ex-brother-in-law)
• Lyndah Pizarro – herself (Lou’s daughter)
• Matt Burch – himself

From what I could find, the family members are really related as they say, but I can’t find any evidence that they are a real rest business. There are many reasons that other viewers have given to say that the show is fake. Here are some examples:

• Too many ridiculous encounters

• Overtraction: scenes appear staged.

• Too many outrageous and illogical things happen

• Repo laws are violated

• The repo team is too fast to become aggressive or violent

• Some people claim to recognize different repositories occurring in the same location (different episodes, same backdrop)

• They go against the standard regulation of repositories without identification badges, uniforms or even professional clothing.

• Your repository equipment has been deemed unacceptable by professional retrievers.

• When the LAPD show up, they are in a car with no ID and not in the right place.

• Other slip-ups like empty houses in shots where people claim to live, etc.

Without being able to find real and solid evidence to validate the program, we have to conclude that it is “false” in the sense that it is not happening live as we see it and it may not have even been real recoveries that this “team” was hired to do. do. It could be just recreating recorded stories from real recovery companies and replaying them for maximum drama.

It seems like this is just another one of the many scripted reality shows these days. The consensus of most viewers is that they wouldn’t mind if they knew it’s just a show in the first place. But claiming it as a reality show, and especially by a network like TruTV, is misleading. I found out about the Operation Repo debate after watching the episode where Luis allegedly had a hard attack. After losing one of the stars of “Deadliest Catch”, Phil Harris, I was very concerned about whether Luis was okay or not. So a quick “Google” search told me the rest of the story. I can’t even substantiate that he was really sick in some way.

This is just a cruel and inappropriate way to play on the emotions of the viewers. In soap operas, we know that these things are false and how many people are still hopelessly addicted to their favorite shows? But playing on the emotions of a viewer like this leaves them feeling betrayed. Other words viewers used when discovering it wasn’t real include “naive,” “angry,” “cheated,” and “insulted.”

This led me to the discovery that a vast majority of today’s so-called reality shows are actually re-enactments or scripted programming. How do you feel knowing that your favorite reality show may not be “reality” at all?
