What, they said one of the genuine contestants would be an actor? Aside from the three that were declared to be actors?
Thing is, you now have a situation where two of the 'contestants' are, it seems, no stranger to the performing arts. However, that said, the evidence is only for them appearing in 'extras' type roles. It is well known that these are the very sorts of people who most avidly apply for these sorts of TV shows. They may yet be genuine contestants.
I still hope that it is all a set up for the viewers though. I watch them apparently being taken in by this deception and thinking they are having life-changing experience and they aren't, and I find it all a bit sad. (I decided to give the thing a chance and watched the whole episode last night. Aside from being quite staggeringly boring and obviously drawn out to make at best 20 minutes of VT fill an hour of telly, My views on the exploitative nature of this show - assuming it is genuine - have not changed.
