It seems to me, at least, that with each passing episode more and more of these hand-selected employees appear to be secretly aware (or at least suspicious) that they're actually on "Undercover Boss" and not some other reality competition show.
shareThis show is all staged.
shareYeah, at this point you'd have to not own a TV to know what show you're on. I used to work with a guy who didn't own a TV so he would have been the perfect person for this show.
shareWhat they need to do is put the show off for a year and then bring it back, with each new season.
Better watch out, better start crying. Better hurry up, run and hide. Krampus is coming to town! >:)
Stop watching it then, start a boycott, put mindwashing substces in the water idk...
But more srsly, i'm a foreigner watching this (even tho it's franchised in 15 or smtg countries alrdy, just caught bits of the somewhat similar "Vis ma vie" on TF1, decent show, no apparent money incentive, no "plug" wtsoever) for the 1st time, i can't help but think that this 1 is way unethical, i get the 'king in disguise' vibe (v'read books) the "you're being rewarded for being a good person, we're watching you" vibe (v'read books), but i can't imagine working in one of the companies they feature on this advertisment show & not b all like, wtf, i'm equal if not better than this dude & he gets that bonus ? Next time call in advance i'll cripple my own children (b reassured future ones, manner of speak) ! All that for passing on tv or getting &grands, a car, an education...
This is really just workforce bullying with patshuli & mimosa & i ain't even syndicated or marxist or any of that sh!t, but my workplace b featured on that show, they'll have a revolution on their hands, with full blown riots b4 they can air it, havin to come up with re-runs of cover-up stories, i tell ya 😂 f cbs.
I mean i can watch cooking reality tv show, cuz i like food, but who likes working... b honest wiz urselves.
Anw sry 4 the rant it had to b said.
Good point. I remember a poster on this board said something like, "If you have the CEO giving Patrick a $50,000 bonus for his dead sister death and having to raise her kids, another employee, Sam who was not featured, who had his brother die and is also raising his nieces and nephews and gets nothing will be resentful thinking he deserves $50,000 too!
shareU know 50'000 is a casino token right (i doubt it), anyway ur msg lacks sense, as a whole, i'd b ur mama i'd tell u to start making sense real quick, but guess what.
shareUberlim, we speak English here, not text-message speak. I can't understand what you are saying.
shareI'm saying forget what i said, it was before that jamaican kfc episode , ah, a page has been turned in the history of undercover boss, stoners got unturned, & disgrace to you & your "we sepeaik the englueueuish here mon bon monsieur" racism of salty puss, good sir.
I can't understand what you are saying.I've heard that people aren't allowed to say "retarded" in your country right Mr Linguistini? Or is it just the grammatically incorrect "retard" neume (that they're not allowed to pronounce, nunce, unce nce ce e ...?) I guess the conversation ends here then 😞
They keep changing "the reality" part of the show every few seasons. First it was unemployed people then it was people looking 2 start a business.
shareSome of the disguises are so contrived that I cannot believe that the employees do not know?
I remember watching an episode in which the Boss came dressed like a "hippie" with a fake wig, a fake mustache, ridiculous clothing, sandals, glasses, and nobody even knew?
That was hard to believe so I switched the channel.
