Ratings Grab

I was fairly interested in the concept early on, being a bit of an action junkie myself. People don't often realize that the show isn't too far away removed from the actual Hollywood audition process -- it's nothing to do with talent whatsoever. It's who can sell more tickets, or in this case, whoever can boost the ratings.

There are a few interesting characters those who are interested in the film-making process will find a few things to like in it. But don't expect the most talented or deserving player to win.

Just take a look at Viviana, who is passable in terms of looks, although clearly mediocre in terms of acting talent. Plus, she clearly does not get along with the cast mates, speaks out of turn with coaches and instructors, and is careless when handling dangerous weapons. She's clearly the Omorosa of the group.
