Reality TV is all about UNION BUSTING (in the article they gloss over it with "saving on production costs"
. So not only do they not have to pay union crew, they don't have to pay union actors residuals either. The execs have known for years that reality tv loses out on syndication, which used to be the golden egg for any show. They turned away from that because they just loved paying the people who actually made the show shit and gave huge deals to the "creators" like Mark Burnett. Same theory we see at work in the corporations: pay the CEO huge salary and everyone else as little as possible while working them like slaves, and who cares if the product you turn out is crap. So we'll see if the networks figure it out any time soon.
