[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 53560, member: 27"] I've seen a few episodes of this. It's tough for me to suspend disbelief at times, since there is a camera crew following this 'boss' around, and these employees are so eager to spill their guts (very personal issues) to someone they've barely met. I can't help but think the producers have let the proverbial cat out of the bag to the participants, and some of the employees are rewarded at the end for not ruining the project. I believe they could pull this sort of thing off if the show was not airing on national TV, but since it's been in the public view on and off for a few years, it has to be near-impossible for 'bosses' to go truly undercover without someone on staff getting wise to the "real" reason for the film crew. Also, in the episodes I watched, the 'boss' usually wore a really bad disguise, like a mullet wig or something obvious. That alone would set off my internal radar. As I watch the show, I spend more time nit-picking the moments that make me think it's a set-up. [/QUOTE]
