Mystery Diners

Want garbage, then watch this. Want entertainment, then check out Ralphthemoviemakers video on this. RELEASE THE DRONE.

This is the worst show on television. It is so insanely obvious that the show is faked, that it is insulting to the viewers intelligence that the producers even try to pass it off as real. The people are horrible actors and any person who takes the time to audition for this show has placed a black mark on their resumes for even showing up. I want to watch shows about cooking! Not terrible actors pretend to be terrible employees. Please no more!!!

FOOD NETWORK when you good this show the first thing that shows up is the shows website, only quickly followed by a web page entirely dedicated to people's frustration about this show being fake. Even simply typing the words 'mystery d' prompts Google to auto-fill the words 'mystery diners fake'.

I have to admit I am NOT a reality TV fan. I've never watched ANY of it, from Big Brother to Dancing with the Stars. Not. Even. One.

OTOH, it's no secret that I watch House Hunters and rehab type shows. I'll also watch true crime re-enactment like "Cold Case Files" when I'm bored. But I know that those are re-enactments, I know to take it with a grain of salt. I expect the bad acting.

Why on earth do they call this "reality"? These are actors, and not even good actors. Unless "hamming it up" is what they were shooting for.

I won't be making that mistake again.

This is the worst staged show I have ever seen..! Charles Stiles needs to go to acting school along with his so called aids...! It's just unbelievable in so many ways... The shamed employees just take it & then are apparently re-employed not long after.... Don't think so... & that the disgraced & dishonest employees would let themselves be named & shamed on TV.... Come on ..?! Do you really think the public is this stupid?? They would never get another job after this was aired if it was actually real..! Absolutely rubbish Charles is ridiculously unbelievable Could be a good show if it was real, who would seriously put themselves out there like that

When this show came out, I used to watch it with my young daughter, and she thought it was real, so we had some laughs and discussions together about food hygiene. The episodes I recall included a lady who rubbed the hamburger buns under her armpits because she did not like the mystery shopper.

Unfortunately, after a few episodes the show turned more towards harassment of employees, and theft. I did not like the fake creepy stories, so it was back to SpongeBob for us.
