I agree with this. It used to feel more like a documentary of their lives rather than the highly produced and controlled slightly soap-y influencer drama it is now. I almost feel like they should just point the camera at them and let them run havoc instead of trying to produce moments behind the camera.

Im not even a big OC head(yet) but the whole thing with Lynn’s family struck a chord for many because Lynn didn’t produce herself, she was too unaware. Which brings me to the point, they also keep hiring castmates that are already used to the limelight bravo also wants the advantage of acquiring that person’s audience, and so they already have professional confinements and PR training to some degree. The authenticity just shrinks and shrinks as Bravo grows
