where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything
from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot
to hide.  In 2007, CBS thought they were about to have a huge
hit on their hands. How exactly? Well they were going to grab 40
kids and have them “fend for themselves” in a fake desert town in
New Mexico. The truest recipe for disaster for sure! I hear tales
of kids drinking bleach, being burned and only being paid $5,000
for the privilege of working 24/7 for 40 straight days. This here
is the story of what would become CBS’s most controversial show
from the early 2000’s and maybe ever. Time to dive in!
