omg, I just got done watching Scare Tactics on Sci-Fi

[dugweb]

That was the cruelest reality show I have ever seen...

i loved it 😛


they had some way funny scenes, but i can't believe how the people reacted when they were told everything was fake. They just shrugged it off!

one of these times someone is gonna go nuts when they find out it was all a joke.
A lawsuit is garenteed.

I agree, the pranks are great but they need better reactions.

Starting again in a couple minutes.

there was already a lawsuit against the show. someone sued for damages, emotional trauma or something. might've gotten hurt too. look it up i'm sure there are articles. edit, here's the first mention i could find, more info's out there, too lazy to link it all.

A woman who thought an alien was attempting to kill her has sued the producers of a new Sci-Fi Channel reality series called ?Scare Tactics? for frightening her so badly she ended up in hospital.
Kara Blanc, in a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, claimed that actors working for the show produced by Tri-Crown Productions, told her she had been invited an exclusive Hollywood industry party in the desert in Los Angeles County and then convinced that they and she were being attacked.
According to the complaint, actors Mathew Mertha and Travis Draft convinced Blanc after their car ?stalled? in a remote area that the only way to escape serious injury or death was to run for her life through a dark desert canyon area and then later return to the car. The scene ? and Blanc?s reactions ? were filmed for the series.
?Defendants ... knew or should have known that plaintiff would be seriously frightened, emotionally disturbed, fear for her personal safety and be psychologically and/physically injured,? the suit said.

Thats strange. I just saw a clip of that one just on Conan.

But anyways, Shannon Doherty (sp? who cares, shes hot) said its all the SciFi channels responsibility. They get release forms from those that are part of the joke and such also naturally.

And the pranks shown of course are those already reviewed and accepted.

countersue them for having defective genetic materials that allow them to be so scared so easily... heh that alien costume looked lumpy, they had to be a little drunk to think it was real

dude, seriously, someone's gonna get hurt, the one about the hitch hiker stabbing the driver, the guy in the back started punching him, I can tell you one thing, if some dude's gotta knife and he's stabing my friend, the first thing I go for is his head or neck, you probably only have one shot to disarm, maybe kill him. imagine that. surprise, your actor's dead.
