Britain’s Got Talent

This show shares a lot of similarities with its American counterpart. It’s a wide-ranging talent show that features just about anything you can think of. Magicians, dancers, and acrobats are among the performers. Everyone in the audience was brought to their knees by one dog. The canine act “Jules and Matisse” won first place in the competition in 2005. It was, however, a rigged game! Because the real dog was too scared to do the high-wire stunt, the producers used a dog that looked like Matisse.

Willie Degel is a restaurant owner who installed security cameras in a failing establishment. This was done so that he could figure out what the issue was. Employees who aren’t doing their jobs correctly, if at all, will be caught by the system. He’d confront them and, if necessary, fire them on the spot. It’s a story that’s almost entirely made up. The restaurant owner admitted that the Food Network contacted him and then screen-tested his employees before filming the first season. Customers were also instructed to be as obnoxious as possible.
