    This sounds scary and unpleasant, but at least they weren't physically abused? If I were one of them I would be angry as fuck but angry is better than being emotionally damaged.

    Chris Hanson did an expose about a similar situation that took place in the US, only in this faux-show, more than one woman was sexually assaulted because the fake judge told her that she had to undergo a "complete cosmetic exam" and fully disrobe, unsupervised and in his presence, in order to secure a modeling contract.

    I'll never forget what Chris Hanson asked a 19 year old woman after she told him about fighting off the "judge" when the "cosmetic exam" turned into a full-fledged sexual assault:

    Chris Hanson: did you say no?
    Woman: yes! I said no!
    Chris Hanson: did you fight him?
    Woman: yes, I did!
    Chris Hanson: if I was your father, I would be so angry with you.

    SEXISM/VICTIM BLAMING FAIL!!

    I don't know, this seems a lot like a whole lot of (legal) reality shows. Except this wasn't aired. BUT I would venture to guess there are some shitty reality shows out there that had been filmed and never made it to air. I'm just so confused.

    @schweppes: But there was never an intention to air this show and they sold naked pictures of the women. So it isn't like legal reality shows.

    @Lymed: Yeah, I mean, you're totally right. But it still kind of casts all reality shows in a creepy light because all of these intrusions/restrictions were totally acceptable since that's how most reality shows are run.

    This is an extremely odd situation. I mean, the girls must have been ok with people seeing them naked, or close to it, and with not being able to contact their families since they agreed to it, I guess the only real lie was the TV part. I wonder if they would have actually been released after the stipulated amount of time though. That I sort of doubt. But it does seem like their families knew where they were. Or am I reading that wrong?

    @colormeroutine: I read it as the families knew they were doing the show, but they didn't know the location. And there is nothing to suggest that the family members new it was a scam before the women were rescued. And we don't know the women were ok with people seeing them naked. There may have been hidden cameras catching them naked.

    Obviously since they agreed to participate in the non-existent reality show, they were not held against their will. And that the company sold nude photos of them, well, that just comes with the territory.

    @dummyfakeroller: remember they were told that if they left, they had to pay a $33,000 dollar fee. so while they were not being physically prevented from leaving, they were told that they would essentially be in debt for the rest of their lives if they DID leave. what would you do, if you were 18 and couldn't contact your parents or a lawyer and were told that if you left, you and your family would owe money in perpetuity? would you feel perfectly free to walk out the door?

    @kristinab: Did they agree to that before it started though? I mean there are clauses like that written into lots of contracts. Obviously the fact that the show didnt exist makes it pretty disgusting, but it would still be pretty disgusting if the show was real and there would be nothing illegal about it then

    @kristinab: I was being sarcastic. Still, people do sign away so many of their rights at the chance of being "famous" and that is really sad. I'm really surprised that there hasn't been a reality show that says they are allowed to sell your images, clothed or not, that come from the show. They didn't know what kind of "show" they signed up for and I don't blame them.

    @kristinab: Well, except for the fact that at least one of them is too young to sign a contract anyway, so thats a whole nother can of worms legally. It's definately all completely fucked up, but it's just so weird

    "We were not after the money but we thought our daughter could have the chance of becoming famous if she took part in the contest,"

    Sad to say but it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. People are so desperate for fame (or notoriety it's all a blur now) that they will risk anything for it. And there are all a-holes around willing to take advantage.

    Of course! Because women only complain about being held captive when they finally get bored of it. "Oh, a camera in the shower? YAWN. That was so forty-five minutes ago."

    I just want to say that I feel bad for singing girl. Anyone who's performed vocally, I think, can sympathise with forgetting words. Sometimes, no matter how well you know the song, you completely blank, especially when you're nervous to perform. Who is she, anyway?

    No one is gonna kill my "PR is back" buzz. I even liked Models. By pawning off the model selection onto another show, the main episode gets a few extra minutes back for other things.

    I'm a happy little gay bear today.
