MTV's most profitable show is Teen Moms.

It's also its most popular (now that jersey shore is gone).

Reality shows are super cheap to produce and draw huge audiences meaning profits are higher.

Teen Wolf (and all dramas) are expensive therefore their profit margins are lower.

As to the the ins and outs of why a person leaves a show - they leave shows by choice, for different reasons - and no one is poached.

ALL the teen wolf folks had to audition for the CW roles - just as Melissa Ponzio had to audition for Walking Dead and JR Bourne had to audition for Revenge and Melissa Ponzio had to audition for Chicago FD and Ian Bohen had to audition for Chicago PD and Seth Gilliam had to audition for Walking Dead.

None of those actors were poached - they chose to do other work and Teen Wolf is flexible enough to let them do it.

They put Cora in a coma on the show so that Adelaide could shoot the pilot for Reign for goodness sake.

Every single actor who has worked on the show said they loved every minute of it - the business is what the business is. People move on and so do long-running TV shows. Reality television isn't a real show.Teen Mom is not the same as Teen Wolf and you know it. Teen Wolf is there biggest success in terms of story driven series. Reality tv is not competition for the CW but Teen Wolf is.
