It's not just the CG scenes. It's everything.

Exhibit A: "This area certainly seems squatchy." "This place is really squatchy." "Man, look how squatchy these woods are."

Exhibit B: One episode had the woman dressing up in a gillie suit, and the rest of the crew walking through a forest with fucking torches, not electric ones, ones with fire trying to driving a sasquatch toward her.

I've actually seen a couple of episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Jerseylicious, The Dance Scene (It was a Stage Mom episode) and Glam Fairy without going insane over how forced and boring they are.

...

Stop judging me.

No, Monica, just you.

I never thought of Mythbusters as a “reality show.” More “info-tainment.” When I hear “reality show,” I think “random people in a house” or “glorified game-show where people get voted off.” Or some combination of the two. You know, the offspring of The Real World and Survivor.

If we consider a "reality show" to be one without a full script, then Mythbusters counts, thought they definitely try to tweak the results to their liking sometimes (eg. "how can we make this explode?" :D ) Either way I like it.

The only reality show I never miss is Americas Got Talent, even though I don't watch other performance shows. I get bored of watching the same kind of stunts all the time, which is why I like AGT, as they feature ANY kind of performance- dancing, singing, ventriloquism, magic, etc. You never know what they'll do next. Though I've been suspecting in recent years that the results are manipulated by the producers to their benefit.

So I thought reality show meant they didn't hire actors, but according to TV Tropes Tough Enough is a reality show? Guess I have to re read the site's definition.

Reality shows are marked primarily by a lack of scripted lines for at least some of the participants.
So yes, Mythbusters is a reality show and are most Game Shows and Talent Shows. Does that broaden our audience of curators?
