Don't be fooled,its staged! The people are probably instructed on what to say,never believe everything you see on tv.While the characters are probably real,they over dramatize the fact to get publicity.So it is not the full reality its a dramatization of the real.

Yes- how is this one...\n\nI promise this is all true, this is how I met my husband. \n\nI worked in customer service in TN, he had an account with us and lived in OK.  He got us confused with another company and did a BBB dispute.  I responded and we got to talking and learned....\n-from same town, same hospital in upstate NY\n-My mom's first name is his mom's last name\n-both had brothers named Richard, both died in their teens\n-his dog and my horse were named the same thing (childhood pets)\n-had the same dream recurring from childhood. \n\nMost of these HE said first, so I knew they were true.  I threw caution to the wind, hopped a plane to Oklahoma to meet him, and the rest is history.  We're celebrating our 5th anniversary this year and have a beautiful 2 yr old boy (in addition to my cutie 10 yr old daughter!) It's cool because we can visit NY & see my g-ma, aunts cousins and his dad, grandparents, uncles & aunts- they all live within 1/2 hour drive of each other!\n\nAnd if that isn't a miracle, I don't know what is.

None. Possibly an episode on Jerry Springer... And some STDs. Thats about it. Maybe an illegitimate child that you will never get child support for. Good luck!

Wow, It's amazing how someone can have so much hate for someone on TV. I wouldn't watch a show that made me feel that way. BTW...I like he's attitude and his approach toward drug addicts. After all they are just lost souls. It's sure better than watching some BA rookie cop pepper-spray some skinny junkie & then kick the crap out of them. Now that's Jerry Springer S#%!

Yes, that is hilarious!  I'm wondering if it is real, too, though.  Someone else here said it was not real.  Regardless, a very good laugh!

I don´t know about science fiction, but probably outer space aliens write most of the reality shows, if not,  I can´t rationally explain Jerry Springer.\n\nWhat happened to the definition of intelligent life?

i was listening to the radio yesterday morning to the tom joyner morning show and this celebrity reporter dude named john murray was saying that he had heard that gerald levert had died but he thought it was another internet hoax cause the internet kills off a famous person every 3 months. so he said the first thing he did was call kim whitley and she answered the phone crying and he said he knew then that it was true. he also stated that kim was having a terrible weekend and he kept checkin on her. he also said that kim and gerald lived down the street from each other and grew up together and gerald was the one that got her to go into show business...so they were real close.....  i recall kim and mo'nique candidly sayin how much they love them some gerald levert one time on a BET special.  they also went on to say he had jus finished a reality show wit 30 of his female fans on tryin to lose weight. i wonder will they still air that show.....\ngerald was a lovely r&b crooner that has numerous getuindamood songs........and my prayers go out to his family cause he will be truly missed........they say his private services are this thursday and public services friday in cleveland........:-(

If I were on Jerry Springer the problem would probably be that I'm a trailer trash bigot who sleeps with both his sister and his mama and has been abducted by aliens all the while hiding the fact that I'm a cross dressing transvetite..\n\nBut thank GOD I'll NEVER have to worry about being on Jerry Springer since none of that applies to me!!

I do know (a client at work, NOT one of my personal friends!) one person who's been on J.Springer. Eek!\n   It was a man bragging about how he and his wife just keep having more kids, calling it "the best way to live high on the hog on welfare".  I remember thinking "Yeah, and you'd better give those stinky kids a bath one of these days, and put shoes on them this winter, or your income's gonna get cut into!". This because we had already discussed reporting them to Children's Services for neglect several times.  Nasty!\n   This in Ohio too, but a much larger city. I'd like to hope not a high percentage here act like those people, but can't delude myself. There are some serious whack jobs out there.\n    Like the idiots that talked about getting Springer to run for governor?!?! Omg.

You are correct. WWE is fake.\n\n\nBut, who says everything entertaining has to be real? I am a personal fan of WWE, and I used to watch it almost religiously. (*enter dreamy sigh about John Cena Here*).\n\nEven if it is fake, the injuries they sustain *ARE* real. The effort and time it took for them to get the way they are *ARE* real.\n\n\n\nIn a sense, WWE is real. Now, it's about 10% realisim, 90% acting.\n\n\n\nIt's all good American fun. I don't want to watch something that's real 24/7.\n\nWhy do you think I watch Reality TV shows? (AMERICAN IDOL COUNTS. IT'S FIXED. ALL LIES!) Survivor, Big brother, American Idol, WWE, it's all fake, but entertaining! :)

Real stories or just stories?\n\nWell, anyway, I'll tell you a real story that I've heard some time ago. \nThere was this girl (let's call her Brianna, since I firgot her name) who was supposed to go on a date with a guy she fell in love with. But exactly on the day of the date, something comes upo and she can't meet the guy (Matt). So instead of canceling the date, she askes her twin sister, Marianne, to go in her place and pretend she's her. Marianne goes, meets Matt, pretends and everything goes smoothly. Some time after that, Brianna finds out that Matt had a twin brother and that twin brother was the one who met up with her twin sister that day, since Matt couldn't make it to the date either.\n\nLOL. So they gradually started dating as 2 couples and both couples married on he same day. By the way, B. told Matt that her left palm is ticklish and that's how she can recognize her. And the poor guy actually tried that on the day of the wedding, too.\n\nLol. I know it sounds odd, but it's true.

start booking the talk shows.... sounds like Springer material with all the exs you mentioned... I think Dr. Phil still does those kinds of shows too... sorry, I am a natural born smart ass when it comes to questions about the obvious... good luck with all that..

I was at a friends house and they where playing one of those episodes from a website. From what I glanced at it seemed a bit staged to me or at least the money was offered down the road before it all took place. I mean how many Guys that are getting a BJ would not take a sneak peak from under your sweatshirt someone put over your face to see the supposedly chick that is supposed to be giving the BJ and realize its a Guy at the end ? very doubtfully but I think the answer to your question is Yes and No .. yes some guys will do anything for money and some guys couldn't have a tin can to piss inn and wouldn't do it.. Maybe its morals judgment etc. ? Guess i don't really know the answer but over all i think its SOME would not ALL

I think that show is sick.\n\nIf it's fake, it's disgusting that they'd go do something like that.\n\nIf it's real, it's so wrong to be filming and broadcasting this stuff.\n\nI saw a few minutes of the one with Hal Sparks, and it just made me sick to see it. I hate the broadcasted spirit hunts.

Oh sure,.....especially if you've had a particularly bad day. What's even better is that some of the guests actually put their private lives, out there for everyone to see,....I could never do that. You have to understand why the majority of people who are guests, decide to be on the show because they think it's a door opening, to walk into hollywood. It's a great program if one needs to be distracted. I am just amazed at the stupidity of some people, and realize that 'these' are actually walking around our planet......Scary.......
