"Bully Beatdown" is a fake??? NOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Groo The Perverted]

Now, let me preface this by saying all the warning signs were there. Namely, the fact that it is airing on MTV.

That said, while I figured there was a lot of scripting going on whenever the people were in front of the camera, I at least had the impression that the very nature of the show, bullies and their victims, was true.

Sadly, no.

I knew from the beginning that the show advertised for tough guys to apply and they would be chosen based on some sort of bully mentality towards their friends. I did not find out until a few days ago that not one of the bullies had in fact, ever bullied the actors that have played the part of the victims.


I spoke with a friend that helped with the production of the show and was told that most of the bully/victim combo had never even met prior to the taping of each episode.
Take bully Jon from the last episode with Jake Shields. Last year he was on the Fox TV show Battle of the Bods where Jonathan proclaimed to be a professional stuntman as he judged the bodies of young women. jon-bods

Even though Bully Beatdown is filled with actors the fights are mostly real. The stuntmen do try to fight back against the Pro MMA fighters but their payday comes not from the 10,000 prize money offered up but from the money guaranteed on the contract they signed going into the fight.

I knew that the show was a little fake but I am disappointed in just how fake it really is.
