On Trading Spouses, did they REALLY not know about t(e money?

Of course 90% of the show is fake, but I’m still amazed at how episode after episode the wives are shocked that they have to choose how the other family spends their money. They can’t be, right? I mean, wouldn’t you watch at least ONE episode of a show you were going to be on? So...does anyone know for sure if this part of the show was actually scripted?
