    Not exactly reality but interesting

    If a visible cameraman is following you of course people are going to say yes to most of your requests. He has a phone, a truck, gas and some cash. I'd say he's better off than some people I know who have none of those things. But it's still an interesting idea for a show.

    As a show it is good, but dont take it too seriously!

    Yes, as a show it is good as it demonstrated how to work hard, how one person can keep trying to find solutions - this part of the show is true, it is lacking on some of the people.

    However, don't take this serious enough to think you can replicate what just happened in the show to create YOURSELF a million-dollar business in 90 days or a year or even longer. just like everyone else mentioned that you can not get a loan when you have nothing, and you can not get 10 people to work for you for nothing, you may get a good friend help you out a couple of hours for a few days, but not to this extent..

    Again, a TV show is a TV show, and sit back and enjoy!

    This is how you make a documentary TV series

    This is how you make a documentary TV series.

    It is well shot, well paced, well edited and follows the story with a great plot. Really interesting concept for the reality show.

    I don't care if it's fake, it's entertaining and I enjoy every minute of it.

    I really enjoyed it

    Ive only seen the first episode but I can tell that this is a show I'll be watching regularly. Having been in a similar situation and learning how to crawl out of a tough situation, I find it very inspiring. I'm very anxious to see how he pulls it off (creating a million $ business in 90 days). My situation didnt improve as much as Glenn's did unfortunately! (I have to assume he succeeds in his mission because I don't see the show being aired if he doesn't pull it off). To sum up my review: Great show Discovery Channel! I highly recommend it!

    A reality show far from reality

    However appealing the notion that the "American Dream" remains strong, particularly to North American audiences, "Undercover Billionaire" feels completely fabricated, unauthentic and seriously flawed on numerous occasions.

    Who manages to sleep (and survive?) in a car wearing only the slimmest of winter jackets when the temperature outside is less than 30 degrees F.? Who runs a car engine for hours without running out of fuel?

    Glenn rented an apartment and signed 2 leases for restaurant premises. He would have had to provide personal identification in each situation, thus disclosing his name. The same would have applied for using the small development business centre.

    Glenn wouldn't have been able to buy a house and get a mortgage using a false identity, which would have been criminal. Obtaining a mortgage without disclosing one's real name is also fraudulent and any mortgage company would have required personal information disclosing who he really is and his net worth. The later would have made obtaining a mortgage very easy, but I'm very dubious about the very short amount of time it took to buy the house considering the legal and mortgage documentation required. Why didn't he carry out a survey that would have identified the mould problem is another question mark for me, especially when he states that he is an experienced property owner.

    If the Underdog BBQ business was incorporated, he would have had to disclose his personal information to someone at some point in time, especially if he ended up being an officer of that company.

    Glenn is seen signing cheques ... Was that with a fake signature and thus fraudulent?

    And, what about the alcohol license for the restaurant. How did this happen so quickly?

    One of the members of the Underdog BBQ team tells a colleague of hers that his research skills on the Internet are poor because he wasn't able to find out who Glenn was. Surprise, surprise! It took me 3 minutes to find a lot about Gleen using a few basic search words in Google and 3 different approaches (each excluding "Underdog" and "BBQ", and one excluding "TV show"). Glenn's personal website was very easy to find.

    Glenn is clearly very experienced in business, articulated, structured, well-spoken, charismatic and at ease in front of the camera which, combined, are not traits of your average person.

    I find it strange that some of the participants where willing to put their livelihoods and jobs on the line for Glenn, without knowing or at least hoping that there was an opportunity lurking in the background.

    Finally, being followed by a camera crew and production staff usually gives a hint to people that something is not normal.

    In short, despite its feel-good factor and interesting key learning points about starting and running a business, "Undercover Billionaire" feels fake, unrealistic and completely manipulated to prove a point. In that, it's more a dream than the American Dream.

      While trying to make his way in Erie, PA, Glenn Stearns (undercover as Glenn Bryant) frequently uses what he calls his "lucky street corner" to sell his flipped cars. In Episode 3, when he gets out of his car on that corner, there is a sign that can be seen: Country Creek Produce - Chambersburg, PA. Erie is a perplexing 292.3 miles away from Chambersburg.
