Did anyone else see/hear about this? |

Basically a guy convinced 30 people to give up their lives- jobs, accomodation, possessions etc. for a year to take part in a big brother type show, but it transpired there was no show and he was just a weirdo. Hard to empathise with all but 2 of the people who got ripped off. They seemed like the noisy, "positive" morons who work in PR and Sales... |

Switched over from "Hairy Women" documentary on Channel 5 to watch this, but soon got bored with the attention-seeking morons so I flicked over to Newsnight. |

Yes, but it was funny seeing the attention seeking morons getting done over by the mad man. I think he was enjoying it- even at the end. It was so obvious when he was being interviewed about it when the facade fell away that he was playing up for the cameras and probably having a laugh to himself. |

Yes and when that big bloke was saying, "To be honest Nick, I'm trying very hard not to punch you right now, to be honest..." Do you reckon the "producer" will get picked up by some TV channel for some weird "artsy" show about manipulation or something similair? The south african woman seemed pretty sensible as did the guy who left as soon as he found out what the task was. The others were idiots. It was so funny when they had their own "reality tv show" and were pretending to beat each other up. Looked like school children larking about. :) My boss at an illegal company I worked at was just like the producer- it was all, Yes you CAN do it- you just need to think positive, you can achieve anything etc. patently empty hype etc. to trick dumb people into working for him. Funny really. |

One of those people in cloud cuckoo land. You point out a practical reason why something simply cannot be done, they say "You'll find a way, I have faith in you" then they leave the room. 2 weeks later when whatever it was you warned them about occurs they have a go at you. Great stuff. Where I worked at said place, in my first week I couldn't work out why all the people there were either a) stupid beyond belief or b) utterly selfish twats. I soon realised it was because the smart people left, the selfish ones manipulated the idiotic ones (it was a kind of pyramid sales system thing, albeit cleverly disguised). I mean, people were competing for "promotions" that had no benefits whatsoever- 2 extra hours work- more responsibility no raise. Just the "rank". It made me think of the type of culture in Boilerhouse (very good film about bankers...). |

this really sounds like my old working place. thank god i got out :D when the employees are ranked with 'loyalty' it only leads to the idiots being in 'responsible' positions. awful. it's too much to try to work with idiots who are in higher position |

I reckon he'll end up homeless and people who recognise him from TV will point and laugh and spit at him. |

I saw it--thought it was disappointing--didn't engage my emotions or my brain at all--I was expecting much more--I was hoping the black guy would have hit him on camera at the end, so he could get done--he sounded like a bore and too serious--they got hoodwinked! big deal--they were duped, woop-de-doo--they ended up on TV in the end, the self-serving arses. |
