What Would You Do? (2009– )
1/10
The WWYD show and John Quinones are always stale since 2009. Same old, same old. Not amusing. 😒 😒 😒

I agree that John Quinones' hidden camera show keeps doing the same scenarios over and over again. ♻ The same basic concept like Candid Camera but very dramatic. The show keeps using that same actress, Traci, every time. I know because I would usually see her online or on television. They always do the same scenarios in a public place like a restaurant, store, park, bar, outside the streets, etc. The same or different actors have overacting and manipulating differences. The major annoying part is John Quinones himself. 😠 His deadpan voice and coming out for a surprise. 😠

You never know that a scenario was a set up and that you were in a fake intervention with the actors or actresses. In the behind-the-scenes, Quinones controls and manipulates everything for the scenes and hidden cameras. He would tell the actors what to say in front of the bystanders. After that, John Quinones walks up to you with that smile on his face. He says, "Hi! I'm John Quinones and this is What Would You Do?" The same thing he says over and over again. I mean he says that a hundred times more. To me, John's deadpan voice is annoying when he narrates and greets. His camera crew follows him and he always asks the person why he or she did or did not intervene. He's like hiding in the shadows waiting to come out and greet you. The only catchphrases that I hear from him when he's not on camera are "He/she has heard enough" and "We roll one last time". He's like a talking doll with those catchphrases. My expression says, "You have just been manipulated by John Quinones." I'll probably say, "I have been played by John Quinones." The same manipulation that he does over and over again. That's the annoying part with this show. 😠

What I noticed in some episodes is that a few bystanders who would not show their face on camera they would leave quickly before Quinones could talk to them. There was this one guy that I remember about; he was followed by Quinones and his crew but then the man attacked the cameraman. 💥 OUCH! There was another one that I saw and it was the underage drinking segment; two teenagers asked two bystanders to get a drink at a liquor store. Of course, the bystanders didn't know that the teenagers were actors. The first bystander went inside the liquor store but Quinones and his crew were there and then the person just left without saying a word. The second bystander was approached by Quinones but that bystander didn't want to talk Quinones so he and his crew turned around and left. I remember one female bystander during the dropped money experiment; she picked up the money and did not return it to the nearby bank. That was when Quinones asked her a question but the lady angrily confronted him and called him a b****. I just said, "Did she really say that to him?" The look on John's face said it all when the lady said that to him. I was hysterically laughing at John Quinones. 🤣 Another one is when I saw the e-cigarette experiment when this lady got into her car and Quinones came by to greet her but she drove away before he could speak a word. She said to him, "Ok. I have to go." The lady almost ran over one of John's crew. He said, "Watch out! Holy cow!" Those events I watched online made Quinones feel bad and sad. I would imagine him saying, "Aww, they didn't want to talk to me. 😢 I'm so sad." I would be with these bystanders who didn't show their face on camera. I'm giving them credit to move on or not talk to Quinones at all.

If I would see that same actress, Traci, in the public, then I would say, "I've seen you on What Would You Do!!! Nice try, Quinones!!!" Because I know for sure it's Traci. If I was at a restaurant in New York or New Jersey while overhearing people talking out so loud and making a scene, then I know for sure that it's definitely one of John's WWYD actors in a scenario. I would get up and leave the restaurant right away. I would imagine Quinones watching me in the camera saying, "Why he is walking out? Does he know that the scenario is a fake and that I'm here?" Anyway, this show has always been stale since 2009 and Quinones is going to do the same scenario in a public place. He'll also do the same thing by coming out and saying to the person that the scenario was just a manipulating social experiment. He does this over and over again. The more Quinones keeps doing it, the more it's going to get stale. I don't think he gets tired from working this stuff.

Here are my two opinions and review about Quinones and the show. (1) I really don't like John Quinones. (2) I don't care about him, his annoying voice or that smile either. My review is that I give his show a one star rating and 🅱 for boring. 👎👎 TWO THUMBS DOWN❗❗

When will John Quinones ever stop? The answer is...never. He'll keep doing what he does with the hidden cameras and social experiments. I don't think this anchorman's not going to retire soon. He'll probably get tired for sure. New seasons and episodes...but still very stale. His own "Big Brother" routine is keeping an eye on the bystanders. He's out there somewhere...and you'll never know when or where if he's going to appear from behind...or in front of you. 😟😟😟 I've seen YouTube videos of Tik Tok memes mocking John Quinones. This is my opinion and that's what I have to say about Quinones and the show. Period.
