It’s television. You figure it out.
Reality TV != reality

This makes me wonder if shows like Deadliest Catch or Property Brothers actually “jazz up” the show with some light scripting the way shows like The Real World famously did. 🤔

Absolutely! They all do it, either through directly telling the participants to say specific things, or by nudging them in that direction.

I have family that works in visual effects and have worked on a lot of reality shows. To say shoes are scripted is putting it ridiculously mildly. Entire episode runs are planned out, meticulously. Almost nothing is left to chance/genuine.
