Agreed. Poor people get enough shit as it is.

Or look! These greedy poor people won’t share with those less fortunate!
I’m a reality tv junkie, often against my better judgement, and even I say TOO FAR. There’s a line between social experiment and exploitation, and this definitely crosses it.
That occurred to me as well. But they will probably come up with some other twist just to mess with their minds.
The show would be far more interesting to me if one family was already upper middle-class. Like, see if the comfy family gives away their money.
I also grew up poor. This show will not make anyone understand poverty better. It’s about judging the two families, not about paying attention to their struggles.
They should also do a show where they get 10 multimillionaire families together and tell them that one of them got $100,000 added to their investment portfolio. Using only the current valuation of their total net worth, they have to figure out who got it. I’m just curious to know how rich one has to be before they’re…
Forgive my pessimism but I wouldn’t be surprised if they screened all the decent people out and chose only the shittiest examples of poor people for their show, thereby not only erasing any possible benefit to society but serving as another talking point for right wingers.
This. It feels like the perfect show for any rich asshole to point at and be like “See? The ‘poor’ family must not be that bad off since they turned down 100k!”
Reality television is constantly finding a new way to disgust me.
Did nobody in the production team ever stop to think this premise has a 1 season shelf life? After seeing X number of poor families battle through the guilt and then revealing the twist, the season 2 poor people will answer the guy with a briefcase full of money: “well, that other family ALSO got a briefcase full of…
Seems the world is content with women getting beat up as long as the money keep rolling in and the sports media shield the men perpetrating said violence against women.
DULL BLADE! DULL BLADE!
I’m confused: at what point do they release the lions?
I think this is bullshit. At our most financially dire it would be horrible for someone to present my mother with the chance of having money vs some guilt about paying it forward. It seems on some level to be paying on the guilt that a lot of poor and low income families have about whether they are in a position where…
If Republicans have taught me one thing, it’s that the Poors who receive these briefcases will immediately go out and buy crab legs, steak, and a new iPhone and then book themselves on a cruise. In fact, this show was probably sponsored by the Crab Leg, Steak, iPhone and Cruise Association of ‘Murrica.

Working title: The Blade
Obviously Mayweather is afraid of strong, independent women that aren’t afraid to share their opinion. I’m a fan of both Michelle Beadle and Rachel Nichols and it would have been nice to hear the firsthand perspective of the fight from both of these women. I really hope that Manny Pacquiao really beats the shit out of…
