Why is the lighting on German reality TV so bad?

Hey all!

I hate to admit it, but watching German reality TV has been really helpful in learning German.

However, one thing I've noticed is that the lighting is god awful; everyone looks super washed out.

Though, I've also noticed that this is in complete contrast to the same shows from other countries (E.g. Love is blind, Drag Race, etc.).

I appreciate show formats may not translate, but how can production crews fail at something that's relatively basic?
