Matt Roush says...
Much like Jury Duty (which the original version of this series predated by 20 years), this fake reality show lives and dies on the appeal of its central patsy: Ben Frisone, the Baltimore electrician who’s the only non-actor participating in the ridiculous antics of The GOAT: USA. Thankfully, Ben won over everyone — the producers, his costars, host Cat Deeley, and the audience — with his genuine enthusiasm, charm, and selflessness. The latter is put to the test in the finale, when Ben is forced to make a critical decision before they pull back the curtain and reveal the method behind all of the madness.
