WB Superstar

On the newest reality show (that is far from reality) WB Superstar lets the poor singers continue and gets rid of the better singers. It's a spoof on American Idol and is one large practical joke where the only people not in on it are the singers.

Recently, "one of the producers told audience members that the hapless contestants were terminally ill beneficiaries of the Make-A-Wish Foundation [...] But not everyone fell for the ruse, even with the Make-A-Wish tale. One audience member, who requested anonymity, said the singers were so horrible that he realized the show was a put-on. "I said to myself, 'There should be some cancer patients who could actually hold a note,'" he said.

I think this is horrible to make up such horrendous lies for a show that humiliates contestants. I hope this bombs.
