Since we've shot almost 40 "reality" episodes, this is something I know a little bit about.
As far as being "ripoffs", go look at network tv and see how many sitcoms, cop shows, reality shows, medical shows there are and how they all look the same. Same plots, same cast, same concepts, just change the network logo.
Our MilfSeeker.com took the concept of MilfHunter and we made changes to it to give a different look. For some of the best sexy entertainment, watch the pickup scenes from any of our milfseeker episodes. Not great acting but very funny and all un-rehersed and almost un-directed.
Do surfers want entertainment vs. porn? All I can say is based on MilfSeeker, TopBucks has offered us 3 more contracts to produce reality sites for them
. So we must be doing something right. HummerHump has gotten us new customers as well.
As to the future, we're going to head off in a new direction and see what happens. We just got the lease on 5000 sq ft of space for the production of this new project and we'll start as soon as the buildout permits us.
