FPP about manipulated Reality TV show

May 16, 2024 9:07 AM

I'm looking for a FPP for an article about a Reality TV show. It was about a woman, maybe LGBTQ+, who went to live on a ranch or a house, and the producers had lied to the participants about her identity, or her circumstances, etc. I can't remember if they said she wasn't LGBTQ+ and then it came out she was, or something like that. I think there was something in it where the other participants treated her poorly, but overall she wasn't as upset as you might expect.

Might also be the FPP on There's Something About Miriam?

(Note: that FPP is from 2003, so...be prepared.)

The one I was thinking about was Texas Ranch House. But "There's Something About Miriam" sounds horrible as well.

Thanks both!
