It's not hard at all to tell which is a better show: one has chosen to portray its own cast as negative, scheming, and backbiting, and the other is a fun-seeking and positive. One speaks to selfishness and superficiality, while the other is about lifting up others (so far). One shows Branson, and the other hardly gets outside its own theater. One is on Tru, and other is on GAC.
As much as we know this isn't reality, reality is infused in every staged directive of these shows, and reality shows through in the decisions that are made in the directions the shows take.
