lol they pretend he's just some random guy from Virginia - that guy is extremely handsome and ripped, and clearly a male model or something. I'm not sure painting them as 'gold diggers' really works here, I think women would be into him if he were poor tbh

They’re not just gold diggers, they’re gold digging whores with daddy issues, hence going on a reality show.

[@oedhelsetren]

I don't. It doesn't matter if they were duped. They all went on reality TV trying to make themselves insta-famous.

@oedhelsetren This show is a good example of how slimy reality tv can get.

[@vince8520]

Everybody knew that reality shows in the early 2000s were extremely sleazy. It's like when your wife tells you she needs to reveal something on Jerry Springer, you know it's not good

You know.... you're not missing much. You can watch full episodes from DailyMotion. And after watching the full episode. This clip right here pretty much summed it up. The girls were TRYING to sell this "supposed" dark part of their life, with this show.... But, in "reality". They got a nice paid vacation. I guess the aftermath was a bit more dramatic vs what was actually happening in the show.

[@alisong2328]

The point of this show is how contestants on reality tv were lied to and manipulated. There were many unfulfilled promises, extra conditions, and cruelty on many reality tv shows.

[@yamigurl822]

Calling them gold diggers is like waving a carrot infront of a horse and calling it food motivated as if it were an insult. Who wouldn’t want to date a beautiful man and live in a beautiful home?

Pre cise ly. My rant was, " Some things scream, "No!" Social media, get rich quick, reality TV, promises of magics and miracles, afterlives, pre-lives, Ancient Aliens, living on other planets or interstellar travel... The last two are uninformed infantile fantasies, the rest... Sanity and education help some debunk in advance. Some. My parents held many national scientific directorships and directorships, my fancy prep schools, then Princeton, all this failed to break me of ignorant future high tech fantasies...my brother, after being kicked out of MIT for forming and co-leading the Rosa Luxembourg group, which occupied presidunce's office in his sophomore year, fall of '69, was able to deprogram these fantasies...and not overnight. The rest of listed fantasies...well, duh. I knew I had no interest in such flim-flams as soon as I heard of them. The superficiality and flimsy wealth worshippers...is not the DinAlt proof enough? Ponzi schemers, FTX, Bernie Maddow....please. These women debased themselves in advance. Melania level. Sell yourself, enslave yourself. Manyway, ok doco...thanx. Sensationalistic of course...subject all but precludes maturity. Sigh. My mother and her mother never went to a beauty parlor, never cut their hair...wore buns. Mom went from platinum blonde to salt and pepper as a teen...dye?! For RudNose GeeYouLyins and DimWit Tramps. Guess they wanna look good in prison, so... Too bad no operations can augment brains.
