I totally disagree, and I don't know what you see that makes you think it's scripted.
In fact, in the most recent episodes the daughter Sophie clearly didn't want to talk about family issues in front of the camera because she didn't think it was the place for it. Her mom Shannon basically said, "Well, this IS a reality show...". Which I found cool of her. Yeah, it's voyeuristic to watch people's dirty laundry being aired; on the other hand, if you can take the big paychecks from the cable network for showing fluff-filled half-hours of your life, then you can sack up and earn the money when things don't go so rosy and you have to show some of the seamier side.
