For ten IshPoints, which of the following newsworthy items from the world of Reality Television is not true? (answer obtained by clicking on the relevant links - make your choice before selecting!)
A. There is a reality show whose premise is to live off the land while Ted Nugent torments you (you know, like chases you around with a chainsaw). Winner gets $25,000. But filming had to be suddenly halted when Ted put the chainsaw through his leg. (NO WAY!)
B. There is a reality show whose premise is to have a dozen dwarf women compete with average-size females for the affection of a 4-foot 5-inch bachelor. Winner gets the bachelor. And it has the support of the LPA (Little People of America). (NO WAY!)
C. There is a reality show whose entire premise is to follow around Mandy Moore and her tennis-player boyfriend Andy Roddick. There are no winners, especially among the viewers. But it looks like it won't get off the ground because even Mandy Moore thinks Mandy Moore is too boring. (NO WAY!)
D. There is a reality show whose premise is tricking a girl into thinking she has to trick her family into thinking she is going to marry a lout, when really the lout is just an actor and the joke is on her (read it again - its complicated). Winner gets $500,000. Unfortunately, the girl turns out to be a Catholic School teacher in real life, and she's getting fired for "making a mockery of marriage." So I guess 'winner' gets fired. (NO WAY!)
Good Luck!

This is one of those trick questions right? Where the most unrealistic sounding one -- I'm thinking Ted Nugent and the chainsaw -- turns out to be real? Ah, well, I'll bite. I'll guess the Nugent one's fake.
By the way, this should be filed under "Screen," as a TV thing. It will automatically go into the "Culture" category. And don't forget to keyword!
