Kris Jenner is the momager, so it makes sense that she would have a pretty big pull in terms of what gets aired. She is in fact the only family member who can review the taped footage. "There are no exceptions and she can nix anything she doesn't like," says an insider.

So who does the staff like the most?
Kim Kardashian, which may come as a surprise. "She has remained the same since day one and the richer she got, the better she started treating everyone," a source reveals to Radar.

But luckily Khloe keeps the laughs going and makes the environment less stressful. "She's really fun to work with," says a source. "She loves to get drunk and shoot because it makes her open up and not be so self-conscious." Drinking on the job doesn’t sound too smart but whatever works for her!
