There is some drama. But most of these shows are not about drama, but they are educational shows.
Lots of these shows are on History or Discovery channel. What would you rahter see? Another documentary about gold mining? or people actually doing it?
Same with American Pickers and Pawn Stars. These shows are not in it for the drama but for the History lessons. Instead of a boring show about old stuff or an antique roadshow style shows, they jazz them up and give them a bit more character.
As for what they make. I honestly have no idea. Television shows are notoriously cheap in paying reality talent, so even though they have "tv money" I woulndt think most of them are getting rich off them. Besides, what human being doesnt want MORE money!
