And if someone tries to entice you to go on the Jerry Springer Show to learn a big secret -- don't.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Nine women tricked into thinking they were reality TV show contestants and lured into an Istanbul villa were rescued by Turkish military police after two months confinement, a police spokesman said Thursday.

Cameras in the villa filmed the women 24-hours a day, providing a live stream of images for Internet users who had paid to access the footage, the spokesman said.

The women, all from Turkey, according to the Turkish press, had answered an advert seeking contestants for a "Big Brother"-style television show. They passed an audition and selection process before entering the house.

"The women's parents called the police after they didn't hear anything from them. The military police went to investigate and heard the women screaming from inside," the spokesman said, adding the raid took place Monday.

2. There was an expose of someone that pulled that bullshit HERE

not that long ago. Some sort of modeling reality show. Apparently the guy running it passed himself off as a famous model, got a bunch of people to sign up and audition, and put them up in a rented mansion. He got off by having his victims perform degrading tasks and sucking up to him to not be "eliminated".

It was on one of the news magazines, 60 minutes or 20/20 or something.
