REALITY UPDATE - Third Member "Buckwild" Cast Arrested, Cast Member Shain Gandee Died

(11/21/2013)
Reality is often worse (or sometimes better) than the high-drama of reality TV, the stable entertainment of dozens of TV channels.

A third cast member of the WV reality TV show "Buckwild" has been arrested.

Anna Davis, 23, was arrested in Kanawha County for driving under the influence.

Salwa Amin has been arrested on numerous drug charges and Michael "Bluefoot" Burford was arrested for driving under the influence.

Amin was just found guilty of recent charges filed against her.

Cast member Shain Gandee died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a vehicle lodged in a mud hole.

While most TV reality shows are directed or scripted by the producers for dramatic effect to increase ratings, the end result of the show's stars - much closer to reality.

Roane County newspaper publisher David Hedges did a couple of feature stories regarding reality show "Hatfields and McCoys-White Lightening," being filmed on a farm close to Spencer. "I thought the public would be a little excited about the show being produced here. So far there has been little interest," he said.
