    SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
    Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
    Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
    chrislambert582 Over the last couple of years I have been subjected to this programme on the freeview channel "Really", and finally feel compelled to comment. First, the presenter. Joey Greco moralises non-stop throughout the show, using such words as "depraved" to describe the behaviour of the person allegedly caught cheating on their partner. He is advocating himself as the guardian of the world's morals, completely missing the irony of the immoral (and at times, illegal) behaviour of himself and his "gumshoes", following people, secretly filming and recording phone conversations. Of course, since the "stories" featured in the show are as fake as Greco I don't suppose this really matters. I don't understand how anybody can possibly believe anything on this show is real. Typically, a couple "engaged in nefarious deeds" meet up, go for a meal (usually sitting either outdoors or in front of a window so they can be easily filmed) then go back to the cheaters house for sex (so they can be recorded by the hidden cameras). They make no attempt to keep things secret and are never watching to see if they are being followed! The whole show is just low-budget garbage that only deluded people can believe is "reality", so in a way it's just like any other reality show.
    Catherine_Grace_Zeh I've been a fan of this show ever since it made its debut. First off, I must say that it's a good show. Also, I haven't seen every episode. However, if you ask me, it's still a good show. It's fun to see unfaithful people get busted. In addition, I really enjoy watching people confront their unfaithful lover or whoever. I hope it stays on the air for years to come. If that happens, I will be really happy. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I haven't seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back after it finishes its run, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
    fedor8 I'm not bothered by the sleazy hosts, nor am I bothered by the cynical, self-righteous stance the makers of this crap take.What I AM bothered about is that the vast majority of the episodes are fake. I wouldn't even be surprised if ALL of the episodes were staged. Hence this isn't a reality show but something far worse even than Oprah: garbage television with zero comma zero appeal. Like daily TV soap opera but with more action and fighting and less plot.The premise would have turned out great - if only it had been executed without cheating the viewer. If only this idea were free of all the legal complications/trappings that would most certainly ensue due to what would happen with real people, and what is eventually aired. Hence the only way to create this """reality show""" was to get some rather desperate actors and make them improvise (and what pitiful and unconvincing improvisation it is most of the time!). Shouldn't this be obvious to anyone who finished grade school? Most reviews I read here don't even mention that any of this is fake, let alone that all of it might be. Wishful thinking or just boundless naivety? The actors hired in this pathetic show are the kind of bottom-of-the-barrel unemployed actors who are miserably waiting on tables, waiting eagerly for a call from a talk show (or this crap), which is when they finally get a chance to make several hundred bucks. I even recognized one actress (in the role of "cheater") that I saw years earlier in "The Jerry Springer Show". And I only saw 6-7 episodes of "Cheaters". How many more of these loser actors are there that appeared in Springer and "Cheaters" that I don't even know about?However, to compare "Cheaters" with Springer isn't fair to the latter. The Springer show is not all fake; a bulk of the episodes are unstaged - hence often highly entertaining. There is no value to be found in "Cheaters", unless you're a struggling actor and want to get tips on how NOT to act in front of the camera.The producers use various (very cheap, transparent) tricks to create the illusion of realness, to give their footage that elusive documentary feel. But it's all in vein. In the end, the more intelligent train-wreck-seeking viewer is left with absolutely squat. "Professional wrestling" has more credibility than this.
    a-a-25 The show is at least partially Faked (So is not reality, just pretending to be reality), which makes me believe at least anyone without face blurred out is a Fake episode.Proof in the episode where he pretends to be stabbed There is already camera crew on the boat, before he gets there, can been seen as his boat approaches.The actors playing "ambulance officers" didn't remove his shirt or expose the wound in anyway so they work on it, which would never happen in reality.They also parked the ambulance in the car park and did not drive up to the Emergency entrance (Which does not make any sense, unless its fake and they would not be allowed to go there)
