Ahh gotcha. My wife was a little hesitant as well; she's not too big on reality TV (honestly niether and I). It does get a little zany, but at the end it pulls the conceit together really nicely. It really helps that the guy seemed like a truly decent person. I find it similar to the Truman Show.

Today's Thing What I Learned Was is Marrubium vulgare, more commonly known as horehound. It's an herb in the mint family that has been used in folk remedies for centuries. While its efficacy has been debated, it does make a mean hard candy, tasting of menthol and root beer. And I had some today.
