Oh christ...yes, we all understand that TV shows are scripted, especially in the MTV world. HOWEVER, the basis for this show is a little different.  Here's a breakdown of how the original Hollywood Squares worked:

"Although Hollywood Squares was a legitimate game show, the game largely acted as the background for the show's comedy in the form of joke answers, often given by the stars prior to their "real" answer. The show's writers usually supplied the jokes. In addition, the stars were given question subjects and plausible incorrect ("bluff") answers prior to the show. The show was scripted in this sense, but the gameplay was not."

So while I would totally believe that jokes were written, unless you show me proof that they MADE them pick the squares, you are incorrect.

Yes many if not all of MTV's "reality shows" are scripted. But this game is not. It's scripted in the sense that they chose the squares where the artists sit, which gives some artists a much higher chance of getting picked, but they dont tell each contestent which square to pick. C'mon son

It's not HARD to believe. I just don't buy that every single little detail of every show ever is scripted. Yes, PLENTY of shit is scripted. I don't however buy that the contestants are told who to pick. That's all.

And your 'so matter of fact' belief that they are told who to pick doesn't make sense without any evidence.

You're correct. It means they agree.

when people reply to a post and then don't actually say anything does that just mean they agree? Example would be Charles Weis just up above my post

I like how just because Tech doesnt say anything the whole show, people automatically assume its scripted and MTV is always out to get him Lol Come on guys, be real here. I havent seen it yet, but its on at 5pm today so I'll check it out. On another note I read Vinny from Jersey Shore is gonna be on the next one........ Why would he be on HIp Hop Squares.....

Its kinda hard not to when a handful of television channels throw any thing to do with Jersey Shore down our throats. Even if you dont watch the show, you know who those sons a bitches are.

Better question is why do we know who Vinny is?
