Clear as Mud

In which Ray and Lawrence examine their own failure to communicate through game shows and Hyundai’s Super Bowl triumph, as well as editing fails on Married at First Sight (as if the unedited bits weren’t bad enough!). We uncover Russia’s plot, years before their current invasion, to build their national soccer team by sleeping with the enemy. We also speak with the godfather of reality TV research, Graeme Turner, and try to uncover why so many people like to watch ‘ordinary people’.
