I tried to watch it with an open mind but I didnt find it particularly entertaining or funny.
This episode started with a Black man, actor by trade, who was representing the position against Reality TV. I think this was the only person who was not "In" on the joke.
They started him off against a person pretending to be a multiple RTV participant . Later they added a person pretending to be a Professor who studies RTV and thinks its great. They added a guy pretending to be a low IQ RTV wannabe, then finally a lady pretending to be RTV producer. Basically 4 actors and a host punking the Actor who was not in on the joke.
Quite honestly the Actor kept his cool, spoke intelegently, and did not come off looking like some sort of fool. Just a guy surrounded by fools.
At no point in the show was it explicitly stated that the whole thing was a joke or that some of the people were in on it and some were not in on it. This show could have just as easily been shot w/ the Black Actor being "in" on it and just playing his part as a role.
I really dont see where its crucial to the show's premise to have someone not be in on the joke.
