This kid started hosting in 2012, so like 10 years after Cheaters left the social zeitgeist

it's amazing what shows are getting reboots nowaday

trash TV is seriously back

I mean... FFS... Temptation Island is back on the air (running on Tuesday nights on USA Network right now )

Well, post a pic of the pic.

Ive only watched the episodes where the host had a humongous nose that sounded like he had a clothespin squeezing it together when he talked

My grandfather (who I am named after) was famous. This could have been me.

Good stuff. I ran a couple bars in Dallas where scenes from episodes were taped or the outside/parking lots.

Everything completely staged. Still epic when unassuming people would see the cameras. Made for some great memories.

A friend of a friend lived pretty close to Joey in Univ Park and told us his house had cameras on the exterior in just about any conceivable angle. Trees, the whole 9. Said he had to have them because of the show and the types he confronted

True story- My old boss was friends with Joey Greco and invited him to speak at our company Christmas party. This was 15 years ago and i watched cheaters every night.

Everyone else I worked with were old hags who didn’t watch the show and left early, so Joey spoke and then just hung out at the bar. Me and my then girlfriend(now wife) ended up sitting with him at the bar and closing it down. He told us tons of cheaters stories. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. We have one of the pictures framed on our wall. Lol


I'm jealous. Seriously

I watched it from the start and think that most of the Tommy Grand stuff was real. There was a murder during filming where a wife ran over her doctor husband in her Mercedes. It made the news but no episode came out. The show was sued and Tommy Grand left. Towards the end of Grand's stint Cheaters started having blurred out faces. It was harder to get people to sign releases.

When Greco took the helm, it was at least 50% staged. It was easy to spot the difference between the real worst of Walmart people with mild reactions and the more attractive looking couples with bad acting, crazy stories and really over the top reactions. By the time Greco left it was all staged.

After the first couple seasons it was hard to get real people who wanted to put themselves on TV in that kind of light. The free PI work was not worth the embarrassment.

This is a shame, but WTF is the Clark Gable III doing living in Dallas? You would think he could make a decent living in Los Angeles having bit parts or recurring parts in shows like Riverdale being the young male teacher doing it with Betty and Veronica.

Aren't all of the Cheaters show filmed in DFW? You Dallas baws have to know someone who has been on that show.

Show looks pretty much staged as well.
