Four For Friday - The Hooker & The Con Man
It is not very often that what happens behind a reality show is way more interesting than what happens actually on the show, but such is the case with this cable reality show that has rotated in new casts and locations almost every season. Way back in season 1 of the show, the public was introduced to someone who entered the life of the cast for an episode. Just one episode, but he had a part in multiple lives forever. In that first season he sunk his claws into one of the cast who we have grown to see on the show season after season. What happened? Well, this star, who we shall call C struck up a friendship with the one episode wonder who we can call S. The next thing you know, C invested his entire life's savings with S. Not a good idea. It vanished so quickly that C probably thought even the bankruptcy he had to file because of it was a dream.
There is only so long you can continue signing people up for something that sounds too good to be true. So, what do you do if you are S and want more people hooked on your bait? You introduce them to someone we will call CS who has been a star on the show for multiple seasons. Prior to coming on the show, the star made a great deal of money acting as a companion to those she met on her day job. As a companion, she made five times her day job salary. It also helped that she was willing to service both men and women. As long as the money was green, she didn't care who was sharing her bed.
CS met S through C. When not filming, CS was given money by S to sleep with people S was trying to get to invest with him. She slept with dozens of potential investors but only a couple signed up. S kept her around though on the payroll because she did have certain talents he enjoyed too. At some point, there were just too many investors complaining and now S is probably headed to jail. CS might not be far behind him. She has had trouble with the law because of her substance abuse issues which lead to her get extremely violent as a lover discovered.
