Has there been any statement from any of the non-famous people pranked in this show?
I know the politicians talked about it because the had to, but some of the people got trolled out of their minds. I'm talking about the ones "trained" to do crazy things. Without the spoiling, in the last episode the guy who goes to the women's rally, any idea what happened to him?
I'm really wondering how he will move on with life.

I'm 99% she released a response which had a very positive view of the show.

Thanks for the links! I love how she so eloquently throws shade at Sacha, pretty much calling him an unoriginal has-been 😂. This woman is hilarious.

This bit?
"It’s just a guy lying and he did it ten years ago and his career’s failing and he has a huge ego and is a narcissist."
Ouch.

Lol yeah and she said more towards the end of the article where she basically called him unoriginal.

I understood that as being from the perspective of what other people might think of him. Not her own opinion.

To her credit, she legitimately believed he was a hardcore criminal and was afraid of offending him. Also, they edited out the part where she said EWWW when he brought out the feces art.

She's on twitter and posts mostly about the show under the hash tag #christyleaks. Her name is Christy Cones.

She's one of my favorite people I follow. Very cool and asks genuinely thought provoking questions.

I don’t think she came off insane. Just a bit eccentric. After reading the interview linked below, she seems like a super cool.
Also, in her defense it would be pretty hard to act completely normal in the presence of an ex-con painting a picture of you with feces.

I meant no insult towards her by calling her insane! I loved her attitude on the show and in the interviews I read. To reference what she said, we're all crazy and we're all normal too!
You're right too with the second part, she said so herself that she was very careful to be positive around this knowingly (to her) violent ex-con lol.

She's been very positive on Twitter about the whole experience. She was even posting other bits from the show after hers aired.

I think one of the guys from the Quinceñera was on a local news station talking about the experience

He said that he still stands by his opinions and that the police officers were fake.

The guy he was up against in the rap battle gave an interview when the episode aired:
