The Rehearsal (HBO/ HBO Max) TV Show • Page 45

I’m guessing next week will be the congress rehearsal and the finale will be the real thing

 

Love that Nick Lutsko was behind this.

 

God after Colin kissed Emma's cheek and she looked at him and he didn't do anything else I had to pause it because of the cringe

 

Looks like a contestant on Wongs of Voice is violating their NDA to talk about the experience

The Rehearsal: Nathan Fielder's Fake Singing Show Contestant Speaks Out

AI Summary

The Variety article reports that Nathan Fielder created a fake HBO singing competition called "Wings of Voice" as part of his social experiment series "The Rehearsal." Lana Love, a singer-songwriter who had previously been on "The Voice," was recruited for the show and spent significant time and money ($5,500 on travel and lodging, and lost $4,000 in canceled lessons) auditioning and filming, believing it was a real opportunity to boost her music career.

However, Love discovered the show was a fabrication designed by Fielder to make a point about communication between pilots in Season 2 of "The Rehearsal." Real pilots served as judges on the fake show to practice giving direct feedback. Neither the pilots nor the contestants were aware of the deception.

Love, feeling like a "lab rat" and betrayed, broke her NDA to speak out about her experience. She detailed the extensive audition process, the non-union contracts she and other contestants were pressured to sign, and the moment she realized the truth after recognizing crew members from Fielder's previous projects.

Despite her anger, Love confronted the producers and ensured that songwriters retained the rights to their original music in the contract. She even appeared in an episode lip-syncing "Amazing Grace." While other contestants had mixed reactions to the revelation, with some still hoping for exposure, Love felt the experience showed a lack of respect for artists.

Despite the deception and financial loss, Love is using this experience to fuel her music career, releasing a song about Fielder and another inspired by the ordeal. She also continues her advocacy for artists' rights. While she doesn't harbor resentment towards Fielder, she critiques his approach of treating people as "variables."

 

It took me 5 minutes to read the article. Get outta here with that AI summary bullshit.

 

Yeah, that's pretty shitty of the show tbh. They should have paid her if they're going to deceive people away from their time and money

 

ok relax, it was a paywall for me so thats why I did it

 

JENNIFER KISSME

God dammit I feel for colin but the man needs rizz coaching from someone other than Nathan lmao

 

if only there were some sort of rizz expert or rizzler

actually a 200 pound 9 year old that lives in Costco could definitely be a Nathan invention

 

Idk man, having already flamed out on an actual famous competition show and then wasting $10k hoping your big break will instead come from a singing competition judged by pilots called Wings of Voice is a choice

 

I can't decide where on the scale of "creepy" and "just sad" it is that he constantly DM's random girls asking for travel tips

 

I mean, just going off name alone, I feel like one would have a better shot at winning on a show judged by airline pilots lol

 

I lean more towards sad than creepy

Although, is it a dating app, or just randomly stalking people on Instagram?

 

He could be asking for a lot worse haha

 

At least it's not the kind of thing that gets you banned from every dating app like that other guy haha

 

the latter, I think being socially awkward and smart makes him a great pilot probably but obviously not so great with social stuff

 

Pretty sure it looked like Instagram

 

That cheek kiss had me cringing so damn hard. The way he says “I don’t know” afterwards, omfg

 

“You know you remind me of Einstein. You have a certain reserved sexuality about you.”

 

As an awkward guy I can't help but feel bad for him haha

 

Yeah, like, it’s all very funny. VERY funny and good cringe TV, but... like, this guy is awkward and knowingly on camera and seems sincere. What the fuck is the end goal here? To have him actually start to make out with this woman? He knows he’s on camera and he’s awkward!!! Idk, it’s funny but I also feel bad for the guy.

 

Oh yeah. I do feel bad for him. Nathan has said he doesn't like humiliating people and likes to make himself look like the idiot. But I don't know. This guy just seemed kind of nice and awkward.
