Yeah, there's just something about that that doesn't sit right with me. XD; And why would they try to replace their child's boy/girlfriend in the first place, instead of letting their child live their life?
Exactly :| And even if they WERE going to try and control their lives, why not just go all strict and be like "You can't see him anymore" or something D:
And just building on what Erica said; even if all of those shows WERE unscripted and those situations were real, people still would act differently when they're being filmed then they do just by themselves. They obviously WANT to be famous, so they're going to try and seem as interesting as possible.
