The other houses that they didn't buy were staged in some instances. And the buyers had to do a little acting as well...

Brings to mind Charles Van Doren and the Twenty-One scandal of the late 50's when the public found to its utter horror the show was rigged! People were much more naive in those days! Our teachers would regale us with how brilliant all those ordinary people were!

The other houses they look at it are usually houses they already looked at...not always, but usually. So it's not entirely faked. I honestly could care less if they fake it. It's more reassuring that people aren't insane enough to look at three houses and then be forced to pick one. It's still funny though how much debt they go in to to buy a house with a nice kitchen, which is why i watch it purely for the laughs.
