It is not really clear, or important to me which show it was. The point is, if these shows are 100% scripted and they set up conditions that prove dangerous for the participants, especially if they are not aware of the script and given an opportunity to decline the invitation to participate, I would think a justifiable lawsuit would be the outcome where a lot of money changed hands from the "haves" to the former "have nots" that would shut the shows down. So, unless there is some shred of verified truth to some aspect of the show, I find it hard to believe they could exist for as long as they have. Jim/Dad
