Bridezillas might be classified as reality television, but the brides from the show say it wasn't completely real. Brides were routinely asked to do things over again "with more drama," said Melissa from season seven. "They need to entertain viewers," she told me. "True reality isn't entertaining."
Porsha said filming for Bridezillas was exhausting. Brides are already stressed because of preparations for their big day, but the camera crews following her around for 12 hours a day with people telling her "go back, say this over, do this over," just amplified her exhaustion. She said one of the requests she got from the directors was for her to curse more. And although she was pretty happy with her episode, she said it was severely edited to include a lot more footage of her cursing people out. Her biggest complaint was that they showed her feet on camera. "I hate my feet," she laughed.
