16. Partially. The DR attempts to create motives and enforce story lines

The people are real. They don't always have to play their parts that are given to them. These racist personalities may be very real, but perhaps they are being edited in when they were normally edited out.

Remember, Big Brother is aired 3 hours a day, every single day live, unfiltered. It used to be live almost 24/7 with internet feeds. The people really do show their personalities in those windows.
