I used to think it was fake but they look like they are really fighting. I dont know. They would have to pay me alot of money to let someone hit me like that. They be pulling off hair and what not..bleeding. No, I would not air out my dirty laundry on national tv. Some of that stuff they be telling america need not be told to no one but GOD!

I really hope that they're actors. I don't want to think that there are actually people out there who act like that in real life. The people on Springer are such disgusting, uneducated, ridiculous people that it makes me sick to think they could be real. These people are charicatures of humanity! They have to be actors. I know people will do a lot of things for money, but if my real life was anywhere near the depravity of the people on Springer? I wouldn't want anyone to know.

Most of the either or questions of life have the same answer. Some of each. In other words, both actors and real people.
Jerry Springer undoubtly has some real people, and whether he admits it or not, actors.
I recall a news story where in a small town some time after the showing of an original show a rerun came up on TV in a public bar. The "stars" of the show were present and the rerun caused the old feud to flair up again. These were not actors.
Have you ever seen an episode where one of the participants is "surprised" when a horrible secret is revealed? On the Jerry Springer Show, who could be surprised their spouse was cheating? These are either actors or the most stupid people in the universe.
TV is about ratings, and ratings only. Jerry Springer does what he has to do.

There was a time I thought this too. Then I started seeing how real people in that bracket lived and realized these are probably real people acting this way. I don't think actors could be that good and act like that even if they trained to do so. I do think it may scripted and I do think the people are required to over act with their dramatci lives. People can get very irrate when it comes to love and passion. I think this show really needs to be banned, it shows so much negativity that people do not need to be watching. We need more positive shows on the air to set examples for others.
