PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Joe Schmo = The Mole Reversed" |
I've been reading vernonwells' (and successors) posts about whether "Joe knows" for some time now. Joe may know. But I have a counter-conception of this show, one that I've had since I first saw it announced.This show is produced by Stone Stanley Productions, the same company that produces The Mole. In The Mole, one contestant is a confederate of the producers. The other contestants are trying to figure out who that person is. In Joe Schmo, all of the contestants save one are confederates of the producers, and the producers are trying to keep it a secret from the one contestant. In other words, it's an exact reversal of The Mole. In other words, I don't think Stone Stanley is trying to "deconstruct" reality TV. Instead, I think they're trying to follow an idea -- reversing the concept of The Mole -- through to its logical conclusion. (I also think that they haven't mentioned the link between The Mole and Joe Schmo to avoid any disputes with the U.K. company from which they licensed The Mole concept.) Anyway, that's my theory, and I'm sticking with it for now.

There's no rule about rigging a quiz if the audiance is in on it and the only person not in on it wins... also I doubt that there would be a rule about having something that looks like a competition but is really a staged show.

So are you saying that they want Joe to (slowly) figure out that the show is fake? (Lets assume for arguments sake that he does not know). Is that the logical conclusion?
