In the space of a month, Blake Alvey’s world came crashing down around him.
The 23-year-old man from Louisville, Kentucky, had appeared on The Jerry Springer Show in early May 2018, where he was confronted by his fiancé Cassie Rutter, who told him she was having an affair with his friend.
Rutter told Alvey she did not want to marry him and said “there’s someone else”. She announced she had sold the engagement ring he gave her and had been cheating on him with his friend, who she planned to leave him for.

If you get invited onto a show like this and aren't invited to tell a horrible, dirty secret, then surely it's obvious that you're going to be the one who experiences the consequences of such? How can anyone go onto this sort of thing unsuspecting? It may be worse than you imagined, but to say that you had no clue indicates more about the person than the invitation, really.
I have no idea how people could work on such a show and then go home with a clear conscience at the end of each working day without feeling like an utter wretched scumbag.
But hey - there is an audience for it apparently. I can think of a few other shows like this.
There are fewer than there used to be, thank god. It’s morphed into reality tv, where we can watch the relationships implode for real while people are on holiday.
... and all without the infomercials about blenders and sham-wow!!
