Reality TV hit's rock bottom.

THIS is the model beauty six bachelors try desperately to bed in a new reality show — unaware she was born a MAN.

The hapless lads spend weeks battling to seduce the South American stunner in Sky One series There’s Something About Miriam.

But while viewers know her secret from the start, the boys only discover the truth after Miriam picks the winner, then lifts her skirt to reveal a full set of wedding tackle.

One embarrassed contestant was so furious at the shock revelation that he PUNCHED the show’s producer.

Now all six fellas have launched a legal bid to stop the humiliating show going on air. They are also suing TV bosses for sexual assault.

Miriam is a pre-op transsexual, often called a shemale, which means she still has male genitalia.

But her suitors — who include an aspiring actor, an ex-lifeguard and ski instructor, a chef and a Royal Marine Commando — know nothing about this as they kiss, cuddle and grope her on screen.

A Sky insider said: “Miriam and the lads are all filmed 24 hours a day at a luxury villa in Ibiza.

“The boys have to do whatever they can to impress her before she picks her favourite.

“And at the end of the two weeks, she breaks the shock news that she is a transsexual. It’s the lads’ worst nightmare.”



Great expectations ... but these six unsuspecting
contestants are in for a shock in new Sky One show
The show, presented by Tim Vincent, is due to start on Sky One on November 16 at 9pm.

But the fuming contestants, who fear they will be a laughing stock, have hired celebrity law firm Schillings to bring legal action against Sky and production company Brighter Pictures.

They intend to sue for conspiracy to commit a sexual assault, because they didn’t consent to be kissed and fondled by a man.

They are also determined to sue for defamation, breach of contract and personal injury.

Schillings have insisted the programme be delayed until the legal dispute is settled.

All six lads signed papers handing producers free reign to use any footage before filming.

Yet they now claim they were duped — and have begged telly watchdogs the Independent Television Commission to stop the programme going on air.

A show insider said: “The men had no idea that Miriam was a transsexual.

“They are horrified because there are shots of them snogging, cuddling and groping her.

“At the end of the show she sat them down and told them, ‘I’ve got something to show you’, then lifted up her skirt.

“One lad was so outraged he hit the producer in the face. It’s the cruellest reality show yet.”

Best show yet. Emberass the heck out of these people, and maybe, just maybe people will be less willing to submit to this crap and reality TV will die. Maybe...

Holy...That's crazy man. We are a sick society! Although...not as sick as those crazy Japanese!

LOL! That is the funniest idea yet. I still wouldn't watch it, I stopped watching Reality TV after they cancelled Family Guy for some lame reality show.

Damn, thats fucken hilarious. Very very cruel though.

this is the reason i don't watch reality tv. it goes way too far. and i'm half expecting the day someone is going to get injured or even die in one of the more action-packed reality tv shows like fear factor.

what we do for entertainment these days.

if you think about it, shows such are these are like psychological experiments gone haywire. you are given a situation and a setting and told to behave in a way that will get you 'the girl'. in psychology, this is called debriefing. but when you don't get the whole information, it is also called misinformed consent. i think it pushes some ethical questions and reality tv is one of the most unethical things out there today.

Reality T.V. just plain sucks.

Who the hell is eats cow testicles for 50 grand? Fear Factor shows how desperate people are for money...It's pretty pathetic.

Bah, that's so sick.

This is why I don't watch reality TV. I might as well go find a good vantage spot on the freeway, pop some popcorn and wait for a crash. Mmmm...good entertainment.

God, didn't the producers of this show see the aftermath of that Jenny Jones show where this guy confessed his gay passion for a friend? Guess who ended up dead?! So let's put a bunch of men in competition for a (surprise!) transexual and see what happens.

Hell in a handbasket, I tell you.

Reality TV is an oxymoron.

Handbasket, indeed.

Well this is funny - it's good to laugh at these guys. But after this I do not think any bloke should ever get involved in reality TV again.

Since its not me ..its halarious. If it was me..I'd go fucking ballastic.

Id go nuts on those guys if i found were one of them.... just the thought of someone trickin me into man lovin' for a quick buck sickens me. Those producers should be ahsamed of their lives.

Poor guys...that's just sick.

“One lad was so outraged he hit the producer in the face. It’s the cruellest reality show yet.”

:lol:

The guys are fighting to make sure this show doesn't get aired on TV now.

brilliant television.
the reality tv phenomenon has taken another step toward total world domination.
one day Mark Burnett will rule the earth.

hope this show gets aired in Australia.

:lol:
This says it all...if you're stupid enough to sign the contract...

Haven't you figure it out yet?
The TV bigwigs could give a shit about even people dying,
it's all about getting the money.

Hell, they'll even fire the producers or a few more people,
making them the scapegoat,
and then air the show anyway

It's all about the Benjamins

Yup, Fear Factor never fails to amaze me. My wife watches it all the time, but I usually just feel uncomfortable for these poor saps. I cheered loudly at one of them though. When it was his turn to eat something disgusting (handfulls of maggots, if I recall), he smashed the bowl on the floor and laughed at the other contestants. He called them fools for doing this, and no amount of self degredation was worth the $50k. Brilliant... :lol:

Nothing like a lawsuit to launch something into the public eye. Now everyone will be watching :lol:

This is . . . is . . . is just wrong and sick and . . . sick and wrong.

That is beyond wrong. Those men probably felt the same way I did at the exact moment I learned the secret on "The Crying Game". Totally violated I would do more than punch the producer if I were one of the men.

Ha...The few times i have watched fear factor, I seen the episode you are talking about.

That guy made them look retarded...I loved it.

FUUUUUCK!!!! I hope the other guy's held the producer down while he punched him.

(would be pretty funny to watch though!)

WHAT DOES'NT KILL US MAKES US STRONGER!!:confused:

Um...?


*checks the girl in his bed for a penis*

pathetic...

Wait, it's not on Fox?

Seriously, though, things really are getting out of control.

I'd try to watch the last episode to see the guy's face. The only reality series I've watched from start to finish was the Joe Schmoe Show... and the ending was pretty boring because he didn't really freak out or anything. I'm pretty sure a guy would freak out in that situation though :crazy:

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with the end of Joe Schmoe too. Thankfully, I didn't invest too much time into it. I do want to know what's happening to Mr. Schmo now, though.

It astounds me what some people consider to be entertaining. Rather than bash the whole genre I'll confine my comments to this one show.

Did the gentlemen agree to be on a show whereby they may be lied to?

Did they knowingly consent to the possability that the situations they were placed in be false?

If they did not agree to the chance that they be duped, than this show did more than cross a line. This show outright lied. There is a difference in the Candid Camera type of deception and this. Being told your reserved hotel room is taken, that kind of joke, is a far cry from forcing men into unwanted sexual contact. That kind of lie is called assault.

If these guys signed up for a show where they knew really <i>anything</i> could happen, then even though anger is understandable, they asked for it.

I think that's a sick kind of duplicity, and I think the shemale should feel ashamed of herself. People with gender misidentidey have been struggling for acceptance and freedom from bigotry for some time. It is not easy for society to accept such a thing, nor is it close to accepting such sexual issues. For someone (supposedly) with these gender confusion issues to do this holds the whole group back.

She should also be found guilty of sexual assault. If I lie, to a certain extent, to get a woman in bed, I may be found guilty of sexual assault. This shemale knew she was abusing these men. They were not aware of her situation, and had not had the chance to choose if they wanted to deal with it. No man or woman should have to wonder if the object their affection is of the sex they appear.

I can only hope that someday in the future smarter people will prevail.

thats so wrong... all these reality shows suck anyways, the only good one was survivor 2 because elisabeth was soo hot.. but the rest of these shows suck, i hope the guys from that show get a buncvh of money from the lawsuits and get the show canceled

hey, maybe there is a chance for the running man

hahaha. that is a priceless scam. reality tv really has finally hit rock bottom. i really don't know what someone can really expect from going on a show like this, if someone has participated on a reality tv show for a reason other than money, i would be surprised.

Sick! thats friggen nasty. you wernt kidding when you said they hit rock bottom. thats just downright-gut wrenchingly horrendus. Funny as hell tho :)

Nice post

Man, I just wouldnt be able to live with myself... Thats just so wrong... yikes.

lol@fire

I'm sorry, but I just can't get worked up about this. The guys signed up for the show, and (from what I read in the paper) at no point did any of the executives refer to Miriam in the femenine.
The guys were not forced into unwanted sexual contact. They made the contact themselves. If they got a bit more than they expected, too bad for them.

Are these guys really that homophobic that they can't ever get over having accidentally kissed a bloke once? And a pretty hot bloke, at that. Hell, he's got boobies!

Was reality tv ever anywhere but rock bottom?

Survivor is good. It's well-produced, and Mark Burnett was never planning on making reality TV. He just made a game show that's a bit more demanding than Jeopardy.
The thing with Survivor is that they all know what they're getting in to (save for a few twists from the producers, which don't alter the fundamental premise of the game), and they are playing against each other for money. That's a good honest game show. The Mole isn't bad either.
The problem is when you start getting personal. It's fine to play off for a million samoleons. It's uncool to play off for a husband or a wife.

i hate reality tv, funny though.

thats just too far.. how about we just replace all of them with some mini marathons... of Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, Invader Zim.. ya know the good stuff. Who knows maybe some classic Transformers as well. I'd be watching more.

You have to wonder... what's next. The bachelor turns out to be Undead? Braiiiinnnsss.....

I personally don't think this is rock bottom quite yet. There will have to be a major accident before thick headed execs understand that they've overdone the whole reality tv thing
