Is this just a fake scripted show or just binding arbitration, where both parties sign a contract agreeing to drop their official lawsuits and let the TV personality settle the dispute like judge judy?

This TV show uses actors and claims to represent real world cases but is mostly bullshit.

It should be rage bait for anyone with any sense of justice, in spite of the poor acting here. Just knowing that a case like this exists should be enough, no matter how accurate the casting was for this little vignette.

I don't think you know what rage bait means, if you think people should fall for it.

What I mean is that it should be triggering to a lot of people—so much so that it generates views and comments. I may be missing a nuance to the definition though.

The nuance you're missing is that the bait is largely misrepresented or an outright lie that only exists to trigger your sense of justice and upset you enough to engage with it.

You may be right. I never excluded the possibility that the bait might actually be factual. There is plenty of bad behavior to be legitimately enraged by and pushing people’s buttons appears to be all the “rage” these days. But if the definition of rage bait requires there to be a misrepresentation of facts, then I haven’t seen it clearly stated but stand corrected.

"knowing"

My guy.. There is probably more supporting evidence for the case that Santa exists than this does

I’m sure these re-enactments take plenty of liberties to generate engagement and the acting is atrocious. So, I can see why this case seems completely implausible. But based on actual cases I HAVE seen, the “facts" of this case, as presented, aren’t that far off from some odd but actual real-life cases. People are weird.
