I thought it was straight out of the very best British tradition of tabloid journalism!
Predictably it started with a self styled ‘millionaire’ successful couple looking at multi million dollar mansions and(I hope|) fooling nobody! Ghastly couple of posers.
The ‘hard luck’ stories came across to me as quite genuine.
A Scots family with an ice cream franchise who had big problems getting their visa renewed.
An older nurse and husband with Green Card that were basically broke because of their health problems – despite having health insurance from her employment.
A nice man who had essentially been fooled into buying a business that was worthless. They had lost all their £500,000 savings and were penniless. Distraught wife and unhappy husband.
The most excruciating and embarrassing interviews were with a couple from London who ran a Bed and Breakfast and afternoon ‘English’ tea business. Cucumber sandwiches, clotted cream etc.
Their bedrooms and performance serving tea, were straight from a Monty Python sketch. The female in a little black dress and pearls, attempting(and failing) to talk posh. They seem intent on ridiculing all of their American guests and America in general!
