Why is Cheaters the best show on television?
I’m not sure how many of you know of this cultural phenomenon, but Cheaters is probably the best reality show on Earth. It’s the best combination of Jerry Springer circa 1998 and MSNB’s To Catch a Predator. People are caught cheating, the person who is being cheated on is allowed to confront their significant others and most of the time a fight ensues. What more could a TV fan want?
The show is a reality show where the host Joey Grecco takes very suspicious individuals and confirms their worst suspicions on TV for the whole world to see. But wait, he’s not done. After speaking in a creepy comforting voice throughout the whole torrid presentation, he then takes the person to go meet up with the cheater and the person which they are cheating with. But wait he’s not done. What better way to confront your cheating spouse, than with a entire camera crew, a stampede of body guards and a heard of boom mic guys? And Joey always waits until the person is actually in the act to bust them. Joey’s like the cast of SVU, busting in at the most inopportune times….wait, what are you doing, giving your valedictorian speech in front of 1300 students at USC, well now is the time to haul you away for aggravated flashing you sick son of a bitch!!!
Most of the time, there are fights, crashes, busted furniture, broken hearts and endless hours of laughs. My roommates and I have seen naked men jump iron cast fences, women tied to beds about to shoot a S&M videos, men hiding under beds, a man dressed up as a Bee get his ass kicked by his girlfriend at a gas station and women throwing other women through windows But this weekend my roommates and I saw something we’ve never seen before.
I warn you, if you’re not a fan of Chris Brown currently you may not want to watch this. For the rest of you enjoy.
I’ve only seen one other show use this format, and To Catch A Predator had a nice run, why aren’t more networks cashing in on this?
