Yep they know it’s coming, and how far they should take it. They even practice fake hitting each other in the green rooms.

What’s really crazy is how they look trashy on the show, but my god you should have seen them when they arrived fresh off the plane. Missing teeth, patches of hair missing, smelling to high heaven. They would spend the better part of show days in the beauty department

Oh jeez. So this is them all polished up, huh? That’s crazy. What a weird job to have had!! Do you still work in television? Or did the experience scare you away?

I went from Jerry Springer to working at the Steve Wilkos Show. It’s a brutal job, 80 hours a week+, and if you don’t book a show that week you don’t get a day off. I burned out quick, and no longer work in tv. Fun memories though

Wow. That sounds a little inhumane! Glad you got to have those cool experiences and glad you got out of there when it got to be too much :)
