    “The men had no idea that Miriam was a transsexual," the source said. “They are horrified because there are shots of them snogging, cuddling and groping her. At the end of the show she sat them down and told them, ‘I’ve got something to show you’, then lifted up her skirt. One lad was so outraged he hit the producer in the face. It’s the cruellest reality show yet.”

    Mmmm, cruelty on reality tv shows.

    Wonder if they'll have a Big Brother where they totally deny the housemates of all food for a period of 3 weeks - "sorry, you didn't complete the task which was transferring this mound of salt, grain by grain between your teeth in under 3 minutes. Twas your teamwork that fell short".

    *snorts* Oh, I feel so very sorry for them. How tragic! They willingly 'snogged, groped and cuddled' someone they must have found attractive. The idea that they're suing is simply ridiculous. :rolleyes:

    They'll sue and they might win (hopefully). The show and Miriam willfully deceived the contestants. They were under the impression that Miriam was a girl and the producers and Miriam knew this and never let them know the true facts.

    The guys were not expecting a chick with a dick, it was done to make them feel uneasy and exploit that situation. If they didn't want to be so deceptive they could have revealed the truth halfway through the series and find out whether the guys still like to keep seeing Miriam.

    Or if it was just cruelty that they wanted they could just have aired Schindlers list every week.

    Disturbing, disturbed and down right exploitative. Poor Miriam, what a way to earn a living to quote Dolly parton! So called reality TV is to dreadful a phenomenon to do anything other than ignore.
    Don't knock Scindlers List! Have a soft spot for Ralph Fiennes since I had a crush on him in school.

    Being a bastard, I don't really care about the fools getting screwed over. However anything that strikes a blow to reality tv as a genre must be a good thing. Room needs to be made on tv again for quality scripted tv shows.
