From gold glasses to hidden cameras, there’s no shortage of tricks producers use to spice up the drama, and we’ve got the scoop on a few of them
One common trick is that producers use gold glasses instead of clear ones, as it allows them to stitch together scenes that were shot at different times without viewers realizing
If you’ve ever wondered why the contestants on shows like Love Island are always sipping from those fancy gold glasses, you’re not the only one. And, spoiler: it’s not for aesthetics. As Reeves explained in his recent viral video, the opaque gold hides the liquid levels, making it easier for editors to splice together footage from different times without giving away that the scene is Frankensteined.
Clear glasses? Nope, that would expose the editing magic when drink levels change between cuts. That’s just amateur hour. This sneaky trick lets producers manipulate storylines without viewers realizing it. Smooth, right?
What about those dramatic confrontations you see on shows like The Bachelor? Believe it or not, contestants aren’t just letting it all out in front of a full camera crew. Producers hide cameras behind mirrors to get more “natural” reactions—because nothing says authenticity like a hidden camera waiting to catch you at your worst.
And, have you ever noticed howJeopardycontestants always seem to be the same height? Well, that’s no coincidence. Contestants stand on adjustable platforms, so everyone appears on the same level on camera, avoiding any distractions from towering or tiny contestants. It’s all about maintaining the show’s sleek, intellectual vibe, and, of course, making sure no one’s height takes away from the questions that stump us all.
Contestants in cooking shows prepare four plates for three judges, so producers can use that extra plate to capture all the close-up shots of the dish
Digging a bit deeper, the TikToker revealed that even cooking shows, those that are a feast for the eyes, also use tricks. What makes thosedisheslook extra mouthwatering? Well, the contestants often prepare four plates even though there are only three judges, right? The fourth plate is all about getting those drool-worthy close-up shots that make you crave a dish you’ve never even tasted. Got to make sure that Instagram-level shot is on point!
