| Hmm... I like the idea of using the media to draw attention to causes, but I do genuinely believe that this may cause some people looking for attention for themselves to attempt to become RLSHs
That'd be my only problem |

Yes, but the RLSH community isn't being given such an offer. There are plans for a few other "To Make an RLSH" type shows, but they are all about turning regular Joe's into heroes…not about helping pre-existing ones. |
I was just thinking about this...if a "regular Joe" is giving this opportunity, that means it's a public opportunity, right? Who's to say someone already in the RLSH community can't give it a go. I mean, he/she has any chance as any other regular Joe, right?
In any case, I haven't seen any major opportunities put out to the public in the States. It appears to me that producers tend to reach out to individuals that are already in the RLSH community to some extent, so in a sense, regular Joe hasn't been asked all that much. At least that's my perspective. Have I been missing them possibly? |

| What these reality show guys want to do is manufacture drama (in all cases) and get laughs at your expense (in most cases). It's not worth it. No one will get helped, the "star(s)" will get paid slave wages, and almost certainly look ridiculous.
The key to not looking ridiculous is to dominate the circumstances in which you appear. If you can't do that, my personal suggestion is not to appear. And if you can do that, that's just breaking even -- the next thing is to have involvement with the media actually accomplish something. If you can't do that and you don't feel the need to appear to support some friend of yours or something -- again, my personal advice is skip it.

| Also this thread is labeled what we want it to be -- "paid RLSH training," whereas what it actually is is a casting call for a reality show. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Still, I hope they're as successful in reaching their goals as Phoenix Jones has been... I just wouldn't advise anyone to participate, because I wouldn't participate. Draw your own conclusions, though.

| This scam shows up from time to time. Usually it's a PM sent to "selected heroes". Sometimes they even offer for you to go to China for several months with no contact with the real world.
In one instance we tracked the "offer" down to a lunatic who saw himself as a new age militia survivalist and wanted rlsh to go to his trailer park to learn from him. |

Now that's a lot scarier than it just being a TV show that might be more interested in ratings than helping people. Go to China?!? Trailer park?!? What's that all about? Those scam situations seem to be entirely different animals than a TV show offer. |
