Production ends when the camera crew stops showing up to tapings. Was there really a show to begin with? Dateline starts investigating Gemase Simmons, and finds a history of bad checks and a lack of a modeling portfolio.
This is one of the strangest stories I've ever seen. It was almost inevitable in today's world of dubious 15 minute fame and "reality" shows about almost every aspect of human life, including the really boring and pointless shit. Do these people really think that reality show is going to make them "stars"? Even the most popular reality TV personalities are still seen as second rate celebrities--on par with Paris Hilton and Clay Aiken (remember him?)
I would have preferred to see some investigative reporting on reality shows that actually air. How much is scripted beforehand? How much of the footage is reshot to make things seem more dramatic? How do the editors cut selectively to frame participants in a "black-and-white" way?
It'll never happen, though. Reality shows are the TV network's bread and butter. Exposing the veneer of reality would make them lose money. This modelling show is an easy target because it never aired.
This is a faking of a fake, you people got played LOL.

If you want to get the dirt on reality shows all you gotta do is get a masters in art admin, tells you a lot of dirt behind the contracts.
