I don't think a lot of people realize that most shows like that are staged, but they do that for an obvious reason. You can't just hire an entire crew to film the series and hope something interesting comes up, that would end up being an extreme waste of money spent just on time alone. So they need to do things to push it along.
I don't like when shows insult your intelligence by having the main stars walk into a place where the cameras and crew are already set up and the people there already act surprised. I love watching American Pickers, but sometimes you sit there and watch the people on the property question who they are, even though it's obvious the film crew has set up already.
