CHEATERS WAS A FRAUD?!?!


According to Inside Edition, the television show Cheaters was scripted and the men and women who cheated and were cheated on were nothing more than paid "actors". Here is an excerpt from the Inside Edition report:

But the best-known episode of Cheaters, the episode that put the show on the TV map, is the episode where host Joey Greco gets stabbed by an irate man caught cheating.

"So none of it was true?

"No," says Cassandra Terrazas, a Dallas hotel receptionist who says she was paid $350 for a few days work playing a woman who is caught having an affair with the man.

She was told the confrontation would take place on a lake located near Dallas. "It was all set up," she says. "They just rented a boat for us and we were supposed to be out like we were fishing and I was supposed to be sunbathing, and then they were going to come up on another boat and catch us."

The young man was immediately restrained, and Greco, blood gushing from his wound, was rushed back to shore where paramedics fought to save his life. A police car sped away, and the viewer is led to believe the knife-wielding cheater has been arrested and taken to the Rowlett Police Station.

But according to the police in Rowlett, Texas, that never happened. "There were no arrests at all during that time period for that type of crime," says John Ellison of the Rowlett Police Department.

According to Cassandra Terrazas the ambulance was rented, the blood was fake, and everything was scripted right down to the person who fell off the boat.



Do you know how bitter this makes me? I mean, I always suspected that the stabbing incedent may have been staged, but to hear that the entire show was a sham really breaks my heart. What I want to know is if they paid regular people to act as if they were cheating and being cheated on did these people also agree to bang each other on the hidden cameras they had set up? You would think that they would have to pay the "actors" more than $350 to bang a stranger on TV, right?

I used to think Joey Greco was the all time greatest douche-bag on TV, now I think...well actually I still think that.
