And if you count the precaps, recaps, and that point in the final segment where they actually replayed a whole two minutes of the whole all over again just in case anyone had really forgotten what happened during the commercial break, she destroyed it fifteen times.

I know that was supposed to be dramatic. I realize they were trying to pretend it was a twisted morality play on what people will do for money, although having this network put it on meant it lost just about everything by the opening credits. But the endless 'coming up next!' segments (which may have been at least a sixth of the show) added to the instant repeat -- that's a new one, and you know we're going to be seeing it again -- turned what should have been a horrorfest of pain into inadvertent hilarity. 'Will they show it again? They can't think we need to see this again: it's been six times already!' Wrong!

And because of the pacing -- because they kept having Wahlberg turn up between segments and say how uncomfortable the show was to watch, on this 'very special episode' -- you knew she was going to get one wrong and walk away with nothing, because there wasn't time for her to finish, she'd said she wasn't walking away, and there had been no mention of a very special two-parter!

So thanks to the way the show was edited, you knew the beginning, the middle, and the ending -- before the first question was ever asked.

Brilliant. Really.

The host claims the questions went past his personal limit. I wonder what he originally thought he was signing on for. Or just how fast he thought he was backpedaling from having anything to do with this disaster, while actually running in place...

If you missed it, the essence is: she admitted to cheating on her husband. (Among other things.). He got to find out then and there.
