Nope, i don't buy that... the emotion in so many of these episodes is quite genuine. I've been a professional actor and had to cry on cue twice in one night, its an incredibly hard thing to do.
At any rate, i consider myself a pretty good judge of sincerity, and too many of these people are literally on the balls of their ass, imo.

I can only comment definitively on the two bars in Austin (The Brixton and Headhunters) but I know all the people involved in both of those and there was almost nothing "real" about either. The only realistic thing was the Headhunters episode showing the owner to be a complete douche.
Hell, in the Brixton episode they talked about Sara and Tim (the owners) wanting to have a baby and then at the end they put up text saying she was pregnant. #1 they have zero plans at the moment to have kids #2 she did NOT get pregnant.
Sorry to be a buzzkill but it's mostly make believe.

I can see heightening the drama a bit being true, that's pretty standard, but he wont even take these shows on unless they're atleast around 200k in debt... so there undoubtedly some very real dysfunction going on. Just looking at some of the kitchens they show will tell you that, you just cant build up that kind of grime and nastiness in the few months before you know the cameras are showing up.
