How is the casting?
There are two types of casting: 1. Spontaneous application (people who send their file)
2. Casters looking for profiles
Morgane and her transgender father were already contacted in 2008 to participate in a reality show, but not being interested, they refused.In 2011, they get back in touch, after several calls, they accept an appointment to talk about it orally.They find themselves having to sign candidate papers that the production pass for confidential papers and having to pass a surprise casting. Then they have a medical visit.They can not leave until 7 hours later, from this "simple meeting where it was planned to just talk".Morgane's father refuses to participate, but Morgane is "manipulated" (we use her weak point, we flatter her, ...) so that she accepts.Following this, she must take photos, a portrait, then she must take blood samples, they check her criminal record, and in the end, she undergoes a "psychological casting" where a psychologist sees if she can participate in the secret story show or not.

His regular guard, who must be of the same sex, must constantly keep an eye on him, even when he is in the shower ... It is to teach him to obey and lose his intimacy.When she has to sign the contract, she is pressed so that she cannot read everything.The show begins on July 8, 2011. She ends up in an individual box with a guard before being taken to the house of secrets.All candidates are cut off from the outside (TV, telephone, internet, etc.), in addition to being prohibited from reading and writing. They have for 18 people only 30 minutes of hot water with 2 collective showers, some are forced to rinse in the pool.They have very few tools for cleaning, they live in dirt with little hygiene.Medicines are refused to them and for the doctor, it depends on the production and it can take several days.They also don't have the time, which breaks their pace of life. With daily psychological pressure.Their right to the CSA is often flouted, or they are not warned.The production is not interested in their philosophical debate and therefore cuts this kind of moment but in the scenes of arguments, tears, sex ...
