The show is scripted. The people are real, but their 'characters' are not. Their images were created to match their characters and the transition is much more extensive than just growing a beard. The situations are fake scripted events (like all 'reality' shows). Anyone can find reality in 'reality' shows if they really want to, but it's all fake. Btw, the picture on the beach is of Jase Robertson, not Phil Robertson, and it's not very old - unless he has children that don't age... You can find the same family beach photos of Jep and Willie, before their image 'makeover'. |
Well, that even the "most real" shows are scripted is obvious. Was just questioning if a picture of someone from the past is enough to show that everything he represents in the show is fake. And with some more research I found that at least one of his brother looked already like they look now when they took the photos on that beach on a wedding or whatever.

and here a pic of this jason robertson from 2008. beard already growing 

and if we talk about the father, here a video from early 2010. to me it looks as if that is exactly the person you can also see in the show from what i read about him. not like a guy who was someone totally different before the show started.
