Proof That Reality TV Can Be Pretty Fake
While we've known for a while that reality TV is about as real as a three-dollar bill, it's not easy to prove the fakery of television's most dubious genre - but we dug up as much as we could. Here's proof that reality TV is completely fake.
The Discovery Channel's reality show Alaskan Bush People documents the eccentric Brown family and their day-to-day lives in the Alaskan wilderness. According to the show's bio, the Browns were, quote, a newly discovered family who was born and raised wild. However, that claim was called into question when some of the family's neighbors accused them of staying somewhere other than their bush cabin.
In an interview with Radar Online, neighbors Jay Erickson and Becky Hunnicutt claimed that the family actually stayed at the Icy Strait Lodge in Hoonah, Alaska. The locals alleged that the isolated bush home was only used during filming, and said the family would travel between the cushy lodge and the wilderness whenever they pleased.
Their true living situation got a little bit more muddled when the Anchorage Daily News reported another alleged scam that landed the Browns in legal trouble for lying about being Alaskan residents. According to the report, the family admitted to residing outside of Alaska for much of the time between 2009 and 2012, and were not entitled to Alaskan residency dividends that they received.

Our Honeymoon
Lindley and Kenyon's Honeymoon video from our 7 day Alaskan Cruise aboard the Norwegian Sun! We then spent 2 days in Downtown Vancouver.
The ship was well managed, fun, with pretty good food! We loved our balcony and that experience of being on the open ocean. It was especially haunting and magical at night, clear or foggy, was never boring.
Trip Itinerary:
Fly to Anchorage
Launch from Seward, Alaska port at nighttime
Day 1 - At Sea, quick stop in Hubbard Bay to get up close view of the glacier
Day 2 - Juneau, rode the tram to the top of the mountain to learn about crazy upper latitude climates, flora, fauna and mostly glaciers. A glacier made that valley, which is why all the peaks are rounded. We also had lunch there on the water, and hit a ton of stops. Had a beer on the pier and got back aboard the ship.
Day 3 - Icy Straight Point in Hoonah, Alaska. This is an island the indigenous people have converted into a museum and top shelf, nice attraction with great food and activities. It was extremely well manicured and maintained and overall on point. We walked around the old cannery museum, which was impressive. In the afternoon we did some whale watching. We had success, and saw several whales, otters, and two varieties of sea lion!
Day 4 - Skagway, gateway to the Klondike. Skagway is at the start of the Chilkoot Trail which was traversed to reach the Klondike during the Gold Rush. We did a downhill bike ride starting at the White Pass summit. During our van ride up the mountain, our tour guides from Sockeye Bicycle Company, gave us a full history lesson on Skagway and the Gold Rush. Technically, our starting point was in no man's land, meaning we were between the edge of the United States border and the start of the Canadian border. The reason for this gap is because of the rocky terrain. We learned several hikers have been trapped in no man's land overnight because they didn't make it back to border control before they closed for the day. So while we didn't get a customs stamp, we can say we did an international bike ride. We later had a really nice lunch on Skagway's main strip. We had these unique puff pastries with white sauce, herbs and white fish in them. This was our favorite town on the trip! We intend to return.
Day - 5 - Ketchikan, the Salmon capital of the world. This stop had potentially our most anticipated shore activity. We rode a board a legit Season 2 Deadliest Catch crabbing boat, the Aleutian Ballad! These dudes put on a great show, and showed us several types of crabbing and fishing, a ridiculously diverse group of sea life up close and were funny, charismatic and engaging the whole time! Top notch professional entertainers and explainers!
We also ate 2 lbs of fresh crab and had a Dungeness vs King Crab competition. We called it a draw.
Day - 6 - At sea, tbh, we totally Netflix'd and chilled. (If you're interested, we binge watched Billions on Showtime - we give it a 7 out of 10.)
Day 7 - In the early morning, we arrived in Vancouver, packed up our bags and headed to our hotel in the Coal Harbor neighborhood. That afternoon we did a trolley tour that took us through Stanley Park and nearby areas of the city. We highly recommend the trolley - the drivers are very knowledgable and personable and will give you tips on things to see and do. Stanley Park is AMAZING and larger than Central Park.
That night we went to Gas Town for some nightlife. We had really authentic ramen then had cocktails and saw a really good Jazz cover band at Guilt & Co. This place is a several hundred year old building. Such a great venue with great staff that even had the presence of mind to warn us of the unisex bathrooms.
Day 8 - We loved Stanley Park so much we decided to rent a couple Mobi bikes and circumnavigated the entire peninsula by way of the seawall: After, we grabbed lunch at a restaurant that was located inside a neighborhood park right in Coal Harbor. We laid in the grass after (2nd to last picture in the video) and soaked up the sun.
Day 9 - Traveled home to see our daughter, dog and cat. It was sad our honeymoon was over but we were excited to get back to our wonderful home and truly start our life as husband and wife :)
