It's possible Intervention also uses common editing and sound techniques employed by reality show producers to make events seem more dramatic than they are, according to Ranker. For example, another Reddit user claimed they'd worked on reality shows in which producers asked participants leading questions to create soundbites. A producer might say something negative about someone on the episode. "When the talent tacitly agrees, because they all just want to be on TV and please the people making TV, (producers will) ask them if they can 'say it in a complete sentence because that will make it easier to edit'" (via Ranker).
The reaction shots viewers see of participants who are shocked, angry, or amused might also be used out of context. They are "not necessarily from that moment," wrote one Reddit user, who claimed the shots were often creatively edited to create more drama. Regardless of how much of the show is manipulated, Intervention is certain to keep viewers glued to their screens this season.
