I work for a studio. Everyone knows "reality" TV is scripted and edited for drama drama. I mean duh!
Not to mention show budgets are being slashed, advertising expenditures are down and reality (that is not providing immediate boosts to gross margins) is losing it's luster with networks at an exponential rate.
They would probably not even have that guy on the show if they weren't under pressure to perform. Historically, that show is more straight edge not quirky. To me it signals desperation when reality has to start pushing the envelope from a previous level. It's the beginning of the end.
The shows ratings are doing well. I imagine he will be around until the the chatter about him dies down, then he will either be asked to do something crazy or get axed.
Personally, I think the guy is a tool. He is a fellow finance guy so I like him for that but, he's just too much of a Hollywood wannabe dork.
