Honestly, the answer is both, and that’s what makes it a brilliant piece of entertainment. The show walks a tightrope between documentary and drama, and we’re all just here for the balancing act. It’s like a beautifully produced lie that tells the truth about human nature.
In the end, does it even matter? You’re not watching a news report; you’re watching escapism in cashmere. So next time you see a dramatic dinner party fizzle into tears, just smile and ask yourself: would I rather have this fake drama, or my real-life flatmate stealing my milk? Exactly.
So go ahead, pour yourself a drink (or a cuppa), and enjoy the chaos. Whether it’s real or not, it’s definitely fun to watch.
