I don't watch much television anymore, as I have found that most shows just bore or irritate me. I haven't had interest in most reality shows, or at least not until Fox unveiled their latest show called Secret Millionaire.

 

 

The premise of the show is simple... a multimillionaire has to help someone out by giving them some of their own money. There are some stipulations though... they have to give at least $100,000 of their own money, they have to live in what people generally consider 'economically challenged' areas, the millionaire must live there for 7 days and 'feel out' who deserves the money, and they cannot tell anyone that they are actually millionaires. In order to explain the camera crew, they tell the people that the crew is there to film a documentary about living in 'economically challenged' areas. After the millionaires have lived there for the week, they have to have decided which person or people get their money. They then have to go back to see those people, explain who they really are, and they give them the money.

 

 

I normally don't care much for reality shows, but Secret Millionaire has caught my attention. I find it interesting to watch the millionaires try to fit in and adjust to a life that almost seems miles away from what they are used to. The joy experienced is unlike one I've felt before... mainly because the rich are helping complete strangers, and this money literally is life altering for many of these people. Secret Millionaire can be seen on Fox television stations... check for local times and air dates in your TV Guide or at http://www.fox.com .
