I'd bet this is because kids being cute and polite is appealing whereas with adults the show generates and capitalizes on drama for sensationalism.

(I may be a bit cynical about reality TV)

I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head.

The producers will edit and cut the footage to set up these effects. Like even if the adults get along 90% of the time, that's not what they're going to show you. The only one of these I watch is Project Runway... but you can totally tell they're being asked leading questions when speaking to the camera.

I think they probably even encourage drama off-screen, like when they're planning the episodes. :/ And yeah footage is absolutely selectively edited.

Petty drama gets on my nerves, so if I do watch any kind of reality TV it's more for the actual subject matter. I used to watch What Not to Wear because I loved seeing the before-and-afters, the hideous outfits and the transformation, and the stuff Stacy and Clinton came up with (often wishing I could afford to put together outfits like theirs, too!). Sometimes the women on the show would get upset partway through the episode and those parts bored me - get back to the clothes already! Cooking shows are the same - if I watch them it's for the actual food (gasp).
