Summary

This is the first episode of an ongoing series Rachael is doing called "Reality Show Scandals and Tragedies" and there's no better way to start than with a show that was canceled after 5 episodes but is so painfully condescending to the women in it, that it should have never made it to air. The show was called "8 Minutes" on A & E and features Pastor Kevin's attempt to save women from the streets. However, his attempt often goes no further than just giving them the national hotline for sex trafficking even after they bared their souls on TV and were promised "resources" from Pastor Kevin and the network to help them. Greg Hunter is here to help Rachael dissect the absurdity of this show and shine light on the fact that these women deserved so much more.

Much of the research came from these two articles:
