I've been following a blog in the UK by Sean McPheat and when a new TV reality show came out called Natural Born Sellers he would blog after the show and it ended up having a huge following and even the contestants on the show commented on his comments and those of others. Some weren't conversations! They were arguments among the competitors themselves!

Look at some of the other Natural Born Sellers posts too. The contestants start to really bicker with one another! It's interesting reading to say the least and the funny thing is that the worse sales person on the show got lucky with one big deal and won the whole thing and 100k!
