- poor people
- give them cash
- film them crying
So much of these shows get made. Simple, cheap concept.

The first season or so of the UK version were enjoyable and interesting because the millionaires were actually having their eyes open to things. Plus, they had to live within the means of whatever pay they were getting at their new job. As it moved on, it felt more like the millionaires were doing it more for publicity (whereas the first couple seasons they didn't know the show would be popular), I stopped believing that the people being surprised had never seen the show to be so convinced by the cover stories about why there was a camera crew with the person and the show stopped following the millionaires having to live on their wages (presuming they stopped wanting to only eat beans on toast for a month).
