Matt Roush says...
Words you never want to hear from the dupe on your faked reality show: “This is all a big prank on me, right?” That’s the reaction from Ben, the only participant who’s not an actor following a script, when one of his fellow (but fake) contestants performs an outrageous stunt involving a wood chipper that not only feels staged, it was staged. “How are we going to continue at this point?” says the actor involved in the debacle. Host Cat Deeley admits that in all of her years doing TV, “I’ve never seen anything like it” as the producers behind the scenes try to get the show-within-a-show back on track.
