Episode Quotes
Nick Dark: Yeah we're unscripted. Yeah we're gonna make mistakes, and sometimes we're gonna get flat-out boned. But when you're in search of raw human drama, that's a chance we're willing to take.

(Opening Narration)
Host: Meet Donna Sidchek. Just another person living beyond her means in uncertain times and looking for a short break from the reality of her existence. We're about to see just how far Donna is willing to go, when another kind of reality intrudes, in the Twilight Zone.

(Closing Narration)
Host: There's reality and there's entertainment. There's a life you lead and the fantasies you're led to, by a small but powerful group of people known as television executives, who recently discovered the entertainment value of real life. And in the future if you think there's a risk they won't take, a line they won't cross, than we have an offer to make and some time for you to spend in the Twilight Zone.
