Maury talk show green room decoys

Most of these shows I think the people that go on them are only on it for one reason. Money, 30 seconds of fame and a 'free holiday'. They usually pay the 'guests' of the show to come to where ever the show is recorded, put up in a hotel and all their food and flights paid for. Why anyone would go on a show because they think their 'man OR woman is cheating' is beyond me. The same with 'DNA tests'. Why not just do the test at home? If they can't afford it, save up their money to get it done. I used to watch these shows all the time but now they aren't worth watching. The only time ill watch one if im flicking through the tv is if its a show about a 'local hero' or something similar. All these 'cheating' episodes became boring and more and more frequent. As for the green room decoys, it shows the guys or girls hitting on them but it doesn't show if the decoy initiates it. I think thats a lil unfair to the person whether their a cheater or not. It's what we call a 'honey trap' here. The 'decoy' will flirt and do all sorts of suggestive 'things' to get the other person interested. Man or woman if you have someone doing it at first it may be hard to resist but doesn't mean it would have lead to anything more.

I have to wonder why all these people go on shows like Maury or Jerry Springer in the first place. I seldom watch them but did see one show recently. In it a girl blamed a guy for fathering her child during a time when she broke up with her boyfriend. She later reconciled with her boyfriend but wanted to determine if the guy she had an affair with would have anything to do with her child. He wanted no part of it and denied that he was even the father. The punch line of the story came when they revealed that the guy was not the father of the child, nor was the boyfriend. The guy came off as a creep but the girl also looked stupid because she said he was the only one she had an affair with. Where do they find these people?

I've not watched Maury in a long time. However, it may have changed, it may be fake now. In the past it was one of those shows that I didn't find to be fake at all. I would say either the guys just don't KNOW about the decoy (as in they never watch) or it's fake.

You said "If this show is real.....". Hello, this show is not real. I used to watch it a lot of years ago and it had interesting topics on it, but it has turned into a Jerry Springer wanna be show. There has got to something better for you to watch.

I haven't watched this show but from what you are describing it seems to be a fake show otherwise why would any of the guys flirt with the decoy females if the same technique has been used in the previous hsows unless they don't watch this show at all or they are just really stupid or don't care at all. Also, I just don't understand why all these participants show up on these shows anyways. Can't they resolve their issues at home, why bring it to a public platform...

We had Maury aired over here in the UK a while ago, we don't seem to see him much now. We Have Jeremey Kyle instead, same kind of reality talk show. Thing is with these types of shows they need to be popular in ratings, so I think some of it is obviously staged, whether its honey traps, made up guests ect. They can be quite entertaining while having your morning tea :0) I think we are all naturally nosey and want to know whats going on in peoples lives hahaha. Makes the rest of us look like we live like angels compared to some of the guests they have on these talk shows, staged or not.

Hi moonlitmagikchild, I have never been a guest on Maury or any other reality show..But the same people guys/girls who are caught in the green room with the decoys are the same dummies who go on that show and take a LIE DETECTOR, knowing that they are lying all the time....Hopefully it helps some of your dilemma.....
