Britain’s Got Talent

This show is strikingly similar to its equivalent in the United States. It’s an extremely diversified talent competition that features just about anything you can imagine. There are magicians, dancers, and acrobats. One canine even managed to bring the entire crowd to their knees. In 2005, the dog act “Jules and Matisse” won the event. Nevertheless, it was rigged! The producers replaced a dog that resembled Matisse for the real one, as the real one was too fearful for the high-wire stunt.

Willie Degel is a restaurateur who put surveillance cameras in a failing restaurant. He did this in order to discover out what the issue was. The structure is based on catching employees who aren’t doing their job correctly, if at all. He’d confront them and possibly fire them in a dramatic way. It’s almost entirely made up. The first season’s restaurant owner revealed that the Food Network contacted him and then screen-tested his employees before filming the show. Furthermore, the customers were advised to be as annoying as possible.
