Spoiler alerts coming at ya!!!!!!
11. All that cash won at Cash Cab isn’t real! At least what’s awarded on TV.

10. Being on Fixer Upper means a free renovation on your dilapidated home! Sweet!
And all the furniture? The contestants don’t get to keep it.

Any Masked Singer fans here? Not everyone knows the singer when they film it!
Producers record “surprize” staged reactions of the audience and they have to wait until it airs to find out who it is.
#TheMaskedSinger8. We’ve all been catfished by Catfish!
“The producers already know everything and that’s why the catfishes are already wearing mics.
Supposedly though, they don’t tell Nev and his investigations are all real, as he doesn’t know any details.”
Tfw you get home from McDonald's and realize they forgot your barbecue sauce. 7. Love it or List it couples know what they want but really we don’t!
Producers record both reactions and decide which one gets aired.
6. Josh Corden’s “Carpool Karaoke” is a farce!
Kind of. Josh is not driving the car! It’s hitched up to a trailer.

1. On Friends, Joey helps out Monica with a little urine to alleviate a jellyfish sting.
But don’t try this at home. Pee makes it hurt more!
. We learned one very important life lesson from F.R.I.E.N.D.S – Peeing on a jellyfish sting relieves you from the pain!
. Depending on the person and whether he or she is dehydrated, diabetic, on a protein diet, or dealing with other conditions, urine may or may not be about as good as fresh water. It stands a 50/50 record on the internet! . #DidYouKnow: Urine contains so much fresh water that stranded folks can drink their own urine to survive.
I’m feeling a little betrayed and kinda sad! Now that we’ve broken your TV secret hearts, tell us your favorite television magic spoilers!
Do that in the comments, fam!
