He was already on the program a few months ago.....

Wasn't that when he was "leading" KOA?

No, see it here.

You referred me to "Secret Millionaire" not Undercover Boss. The SM involvement was an attempt to sit himself on a high perch.

Essentially the same show right? Don't think he'll be on both do you?

I would hope if he was offered the opportunity he chose to turn it down because he knows that an edited for television reality show can be made to make a person or business look anyway the editors want it to look. Most episodes of Undercover Boss I have seen follow the same script. The CEO is made to look like a buffoon both with a ridiculous disguise and by the show pointing out that the CEO can't run some piece of equipment. The company then gets slammed over it's policies and procedures by some employees and the company is made to look like it is run by a bunch of monkeys. Then those employees get a reward for doing their job. And that is the last we see or hear about it. A responsible CEO does not turn his company's reputation over to reality TV.
And Mr. Lemonis has had a little experience with how a potential good deed can turn into a nightmare. Do a little research on his restaurant rescue/investment. I quit following it, but it was turning into a nest of snakes the last time I saw anything about it. Both sides were accusing the other of basically being satan in the flesh. Way too much downside as far as I am concerned.

The shows are entirely different- millionaire is a philanthropic premise where the individual (Lemonis in this case) invites himself to visit worthy individuals/charities and donates his own cash - it is Nothing about his business - "Boss" sends the boss (Lemonis) in disguise to various stores to uncover just how bad they are. Thus, the obvious omission from his schedule.

I think we should start a new thread called "Made up Stuff We Can Speculate About" or "Have You Heard This Rumor? Then Let's Start It".

I completely neglected to mention that in my response. Just how would some random guy come up with that information? I don't think Undercover Boss' producers would be long for the profession if they outed every person they approached who turned them down. Don't think Good Sam or Mr. Lemonis put out a press release they turned down the show. The premise does appear to have "I heard it from the next door neighbor of the guy whose 3rd cousin mows the lawn at the local CBS station" level of certainty. Bet this one eventually ends up in the "vanished into thin air" forum.
More to your point, I do have it on good autority that these forums capture your IP address and the Mac Address of your computer. Good Sam is actually an intelligence gathering arm of Uncle Sam and the IRS. Once they have your IP and MAC addresses, they can easily identify you. They actively match posts where people question tax laws, gun laws, towing limits, international travel as well as RV sales and purchasing information. That is why a poster on these forums is 48.7% more likely to be audited than a non-poster.

Good point Westernrvpark owner. I would also like to say I enjoyed my stay at one of your parks. The improved entrance, complementary margaritas, with the large groomed patio sites with full hook ups, beautiful pool and 9 hole free play golf course made for an excellent stay. Not to mention the nightly entertainment and all for $25 a night.....I'll be back.
