Since it's a reality show, Chrisley Knows Best isn't meant to be scripted, but some fans think it is — and for good reason. As Screen Rant points, viewers have noticed exposed sets and accused the family of "bad acting."

It doesn't help that on Aug. 3, 2021, Savannah Chrisley posted a behind-the-scenes shot on her Instagram while filming for Chrisley Knows Best. You can clearly see that she's sitting in front of a backdrop on a set and isn't actually at the family's home. If the show is using sets, could using scripts be that far off?

In 2020, a post on Reddit discussed whether the show is scripted, and people had a lot to say. Many of the comments agree that there are scripted scenes, but that overall, it's still authentic. "I would agree it has a lot of scripted parts to it," said one comment. "Has to [otherwise] some of the plots just would not work out." Some people added that even though they think the show is scripted, it's funny so they still watch.

In June 2017, a source told Radar Online that Chrisley Knows Best uses scripts pretty often. "Todd uses a team of comedy writers for his show, and has been using them to write dialogue for several seasons," they said. "Todd does not come up with this stuff on his own, and is not as funny as people think."

In addition, the source said that more than half of the show is scripted and when a scene doesn't seem funny enough, it gets reshot.
