"Everything isn't meant to be okay"

Are you tired of all the same reality shows and looking for a new one? I am and that's why I love this other reality show that probably doesn't have alot of attention like the other shows on TV. It's called Manor House.

The thing about this show is that there's no money involved at all and it's more or less about the people who play these roles and seeing how they deal with it. The show is about early 20th century, around 1905-1096, and how the life back then. The producers hire people that are willing to work as house maids, footman (aka bell boy + waiter + bus boy + more), and many other low paying jobs. The producers also hired a family to play as a very rich family. Everything in the show is authentic, from the cars having to cranked up to having horses pull carriages and even everyone on the show has to dress as the people dressed back then. So you'll never see anyone wearing modern clothes even though these people have modern lives.

The house was also authentic. The really cool part is that nothing was scripted. I mean, yeah every other reality show wasn't scripted either, but this show doesn't have anyone competing against each other for a cash prize. It's all about the experience. The only thing that could be considered scripted would the fact that each person involved was given a rule book to follow so that they know what the maids, butlers, and footmans did back then instead of just doing it their way. It's a really wicked show and my favorite part so far is the fact that two females have already quitted the project. I forget to mention the fact that everyone on the show is BRITISH! except for the chef, he's french.

Until then...
