Its still not funny even if it was. The argument is invalid before you even get into facts, because if they played those kids like that, it would be super lame. Also, hasn't the fake reality show thing been done to death anyway? There was that Joe Millionaire show or something where they claimed he was a millionaire even though he was poor as fuck to fuck with gold diggers, and I'm pretty sure I've seen prank shows do the fake reality show audtion/pilot episodes before, on a more straight level, America's most smartest model on VH1 openly mocked the contestants, who either didn't get it or just didn't give a fuck. So it wouldn't be funny, and to take a legit series like that and fuck it up, all while fucking with a genuinely nice, hard skating group of kids isn't cool anyway. So even if it was fake, it would be lame. Its not, and its still lame.
And to whoever was asking why they didn't skate the park super hard- its what, day 3? They've been skating hard that entire time, including a late night day one, are sleeping on the floor of a warehouse and are hoping to keep it going for another several days. In the past they eliminated based on multiple days of footage or stupid shit like high ollie contests, and its a shitty little indoor park, why the fuck would they press it too much? The whole contest is regular. Use your goddamned brain.
