    Man, hard to say. All I know is, I’d be a nervous wreck. Finding out that your whole life was a lie and all the moments that I thought were my own, especially private ones, were broadcast to the world. I would feel badly hurt and violated. So I suppose it would be one of two options, depending on my mental state:

    • I made peace with it: I would find myself in a strange and unfamiliar world. I would consider everything I’ve been taught up to this point suspect at best, so my next move would be information gathering.
    • I didn’t make peace with it: I would become a whirlwind of emotions that I can’t manage. I would be a person that had a life that never existed with friends and family who were just paid actors and to top it all off, there’s the mastermind who had no qualms putting me in such a horrific position. For ratings and money, no less. I think I would be overcome with grief, confusion and fury. As for my next move? I honestly haven’t a clue, but it wouldn’t be pretty for anyone involved.
