Reality tv...

 




Originally posted 2016:


Mark Burnett is a smart business man.

He is best know for the TV reality shows, Survivor and The Apprentice (which coincidentally stared Donald Trump.)

So, has he just pulled off the biggest stunt of his career?

Has the past 17 months been nothing short of a scam, a con, a farce?

Let's face it...take the number one reality show producer, mix in one aging and fading rich guy who's faux famous for being faux famous.

Stir in a disaffected society, add social media and a fractured political system and you'd have the biggest, most popular and most watched reality show EVER!

I started to suspect back in June that something odd was up when Mother Jones ran a piece 
that questioned whether or not Mark Burnett was somehow involved in helping the Trump campaign.

Now with the latest series of disastrous press including reports of Cuban dealings, ties to Russia, the whole Alicia Machado incident and his inappropriate behavior on the set of The Apprentice and now this latest tape , Republicans are again calling for Trump to step down.

They are bailing faster than rats on a sinking ship.

So was this the plan all along?

Was it Burnett that released the tape?

Donald Trump said very early on, that he didn't want to BE president, he just wanted to win.
So, maybe we've all just been played.
Maybe we've all just been unwitting participants in the biggest reality show ever created?

I guess we'll just have to wait until the season finally to find out.

Talk about a cliff hanger!




Have a wonderful weekend,

Noodle and crew
