Okay, so I think I have a new favorite reality show. Secret Millionaire aired last night. It’s a show where millionaires go ‘undercover’ as people in need and making a documentary…..and they live for a week on a ‘welfare budget’ (like $100). During their week they will acclimate themselves with people who are in real need. At the end of the week they must give away at least $100,000 of their own dough. (If I ever had money like that, you bet your ass I’d be doing something like this.)
The first episode, a millionaire dude and his son lived with cockroaches and worked to earn money to live. They met a woman who fell on hard times years earlier and had been homeless. In the end they gave her a check for $25,000. They also met a woman who was using her social security money to take in needy people and families (into her own home). She fed anyone who needed a meal. In the end they gave her $50,000. One of the most heart wrenching people they met was a little girl with cancer. Her family was struggling. Each parent worked for a small business and the insurance didn’t cover all the expenses they incurred. You could see the love in the parents eyes and the pain and strain on them as they tried desperately to be strong and keep their composure. When the millionaires left they gave the family a check for $50,000.
Next episode, because I haven’t shed enough tears in one night. A millionaire husband and wife take off all their diamonds and pretty clothes (a $2000 suit) and drive to Burras Parish in New Orleans. (Where the eye of Katrina hit) Continue reading
