Anyone seen "Cheaters" - the traveling Springer show

[disgruntella]

I stayed pretty isolated from the "reality show/dating show" phenomenon when I had digital cable, but since I exchanged it for cable internet, my choices are more limited. And I just saw this show "Cheaters" on WB.

It's ridiculous! They get private investigators to spy on the suspected cheater (hidden cameras and all) then the show host and a bunch of bouncers get in a van with the cheat-ee, and they confront the cheater and 3rd party, usually in a movie theater parking lot. And chaos ensues... in the show I just saw, the 3rd party actually pulled a gun on the cheat-ee and host, who had to run back to their van.

I'm not claiming any moral superiority, because I'm watching it (and Springer has always been a guilty pleasure). But holy cow...

1. This is a dangerous show

In the episode I saw the host had been stabbed by the cheater and they had to rush him to the hospital.

3. Never Some Brentwood or Greenwich Trio

If there has to be a "Cheaters," at least work all the demographics. Marital infidelity is all too common throughout society.

4. I believe that...

in one study, DNA tests indicate that 1 in 4 children resulted from such a lasion. Thats right 25% of people were concieved as a result of marital infedility.

5. I love that show

Only because it adds to my list of things that points to the coming Apocalypse.

BTW, If GWB gets reelected, I'll top off the list and head down into my bomb shelter.

8. I love that show!

What better way to back at a cheating slime ball then to publically humiliate them (camera crew) and then broadcast it all over the nation so all can see them at their lowest point.
