Did anyone happen to catch this?
It took place in Texas and I had forgotten about it until recently. Towards the end of the story they are in Houston looking for this guy and I saw some familiar faces on the video.

The video is also posted there on the right, long story but pretty interesting.

Basically this guy rounds up "models" to be contestants on his reality tv show that turns out to be fake.

Yeah, I caught a majority of it. Really interesting. The guy, in my opinion, is sick, but really, pretty intelligent to be able to convince SO MANY PEOPLE that he's the real deal and they're going to be famous.

I wonder if there was a boot camp for photographers that was going to be on tv, and some dude convinced me he was awesome and that I could be famous for getting to work with him...would I fall for it or be suspicious?

i think i would be suspicious. it's kinda like the wives that hire the cute little 20 somethings to trap their cheating husbands- if something young and cute came trying to cuddle up to me, it would have to be a trap!! i told my wife if she wants to do that hire something old and believable! i might point out that she failed to see the humor in that....
