Liv Boeree might not be as recognisable as she might have thought, but according to a recent blog post, that's just human nature. Discussing her time filming The Mind Control Freaks, Boeree explained that one of the psychological experiments involved her going on dates with a selection of men. However, midway through the meals she "accidently" spilled her drink and was forced to go to the bathroom. At this point a similar looking girl was sent back to the table in a bid to see if the men noticed. According to Boeree, she switched with the girl a number of times during the dates but none of the guys noticed; which either means they were exhibiting observation blindness or that Liv wasn't a very exciting date. The Mind Control Freaks is already being show in Denmark and Sweden and is expected air in the UK other parts of Europe in the autumn.

These other girls they used must have been very beautiful indeed if this guy couldnt recognise Liv Boeree. I wouldnt let her out of my sights if i was on a date with her!! Seriously though, i look forward to watching this programme when it comes to the UK

I know the show i remember they did similar things in previous shows, if i remember correctly it was a salesman that switched his clothes and in the end it switched the entire person and no one noticed it lol
I guess some aspects are not important but on a date i doubt that you can't recognize the person in front of you..

How is it possible not noticing the switch. they were like twins or something? Or they were totally drunk? Either that or their observation skills are the worst on the planet. Havent watched the show but now im curious about it

G'day mates
Hmm... I smell a con job here. I am sorry but unless they set her up with the stupidest and most shallow non attentive men on the planet you would notice a switch for one date to another. You said this was for a TV show right? hmmm, listen buddy this is for TV so you got to pretend you do not notice, we got to give the public audience what they want so just pretend ok so says, the slimy producer type.

No one can rule this out ronin. I find this hard to believe also. Or like every reality show they are showing in tv is "real" and nothing is staged They will do anything to get viewers or audience in general. Thats the way that many idiots today are in front view and have wrongly became role models for many.

haha love that post, did not see that from everywhere else just on BRM and like it, made a nice read returning from home after a party with friends! Yeah you are right they are either drunk and did not notice the change in girls , but more likely they gone with it and the men think Liv was not fun lol. Anyway have fun guys and update this thread or more threads about those news, love a bit of gossips once in a while to make my mind go soft from work and feel the happy thoughts so i can play poker!
