Those "talk" shows (like Jerry Springer") are notorious for things like free-flowing alcohol backstage. I wasn't even thinking of those programs under "reality shows" but they have many of the same "features."

There was a killing a few years ago as a result of the "Jenny Jones" show... they had a "secret crush revealed" theme they'd trot out periodically, and they had a guy come out for the taping with a female coworker. But the "twist" was that while he was expecting her to confess to a crush on him, in fact it was a man who declared his love. The object of the crush was embarassed and wound up fatally shooting the other man several weeks later. Nothing excuses what he did; but it seems quite likely that without the public stunt there'd be a lot less tendency to resort to unconscionable violence.
