Yes probably even Mr.Beast contests.

Pretty sure there was controversy about this actually. Two people who took 2nd and 3rd place in the real event found out on the uploaded video that they were declared losers so two bigger channels could have the winning spots to promote the event better.

Anyways reality shows are usually real to an extent, but they're heavily edited to craft a storyline. If two characters have a flirty conversation with the same person they will 100% edit those scenes to create a world where one of those people is a manipulative asshole trying to cut in on true love. Complete with sinister musical cues so the audience at home knows who the villain is. The producers will often lay landmines to try and encourage certain things to happen. If two characters are having a bitter break up you can get good footage by scheduling them for an even together.
