Particularly obvious when they film the door opening from the inside to reveal the host/star - ie, the homeowner has to literally walk around the cameraman to get to the door - 'Oh gosh, this is such so unexpected!'.

I saw an interview with one of these presenter-types, and he said to set up about 2 minutes of filming in someone's house it could take a couple of days to prepare - TV and film sets are built for good lighting, sound, spacing etc - an average home isn't.  And that's why sometimes the entire interview/ prize-give-away etc is conducted entirely on the front porch.  The house is just not suitable for filming inside.

The 'magic' of television - it's not magic, it's just fake.
