Are Reality TV Stars Born or Made? |
“Reality television and influencing are the same thing, at this point, as our American politics—it’s all one lie,” Chad Kultgen, novelist and Bachelor coach, says. “How long can you maintain the lie of the persona you’ve created?” That’s a question that he, and other reality TV coaches, must answer as they attempt to get their clients cast on everything from dating shows to Survivor. VF’s Savannah Walsh unearths the shadow industry behind some of television’s biggest hits, speaking to Kultgen and another small screen consultant, Robert Galinsky, about cultivating the next crop of reality stars—aspiring influencers, single workaholics, and disgraced politicians among them.
