Adoption can be a very hard thing to deal with. You€™re giving up a part of you, and sometimes it€™s not under the best of circumstances. But what if years later you€™re able to meet the child you had to give up? You€™d be thrilled! But there€™s one big detail that would delay that: You€™re actually on a reality show, and your child has to try and pick you from 24 fakes. Thanks Fox!

Yes, what should be a tearful, joyous occasion was turned into a Bachelor-like elimination. Of course if they guessed correctly, they'd win a hundred grand. If they guessed wrong, the person they chose got the one-hundred grand instead. So we have a group of money-grubbing bastards playing against the real father and actively impeding the reunion of long-lost family. One episode aired before it was canned, and some affiliates didn't even air it at all. Shocker.
