An average, everyday person finds themselves selected for a reality TV show with a large prize at stake. Little do they know they're the only contestant: all the other "competitors" are actors and the whole show is just a set up to test how they react to different scenarios and moral dilemmas.

"Okay, I've been on a kick of this type of "everything is fake except one guy" show since Jury Duty was great, and... it's kind of fascinating to me. The first season of this show is great if a little dated. He def says some stupid things and some of the challenges are pretty "oh noooo." But it still works because the main character is his own blend of dumb and principled, much like Ronald from Jury Duty.
I'm watching the second season now and it's kind of a mess so far. They went too wild with the characters too early, one of the contestants is constantly like "This isn't real" and the other is not very interesting to me at all. Maybe they pull it through but... it's indicative of everything that can go wrong w something like this if done legit."
