ELIMINATION NIGHT

Who among us hasn’t spent at least a couple of hours watching our favorite guilty pleasure – reality TV? And what if what goes on behind the scenes is even more addictive than what we get to see week to week?

In this hugely entertaining roman à clef - from a writer with first-hand knowledge of the workings of a top TV talent show – we get a peek at the deliciously outrageous machinations - the ego clashes, the meltdowns, the cover-ups - that go on behind the scenes of the Pop Idol, American Idol and “Superstar” shows that draw in so many viewers everywhere. This is a world where the contract of one of the talent judges on the smash TV show Project Icon reads "Crew to be forbidden to make eye-contact with Artist AT ALL TIMES” and where our guide is the coolly observant Sasha, who - like the heroines of The Devil Wears Prada and The Nanny Diaries - has a pigeon's-eye view of a glitzy world that both repels and fascinates her. Laugh-out-loud funny and hilariously over-the-top, ELIMINATION NIGHT will have readers laughing (and gasping in horror!) to the very last page --- and trying to figure out exactly which real-life celebrities are being skewered in the book.
