'What Would You Do?' Airs Fridays on ABC
Using actors and hidden cameras, "What Would You Do?" creates situations to capture people's genuine reactions. In the show's landmark 10th season, anchor John Qui�ones continues to ask the tough questions and explore the decisions people make when presented with these thought-provoking scenarios. "What Would You Do?" airs FRIDAYS (9:001-10:00 p.m. EDT) on ABC.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 12 scenarios include:
· Baby in a Hot Car (OAD: 8/8/14): A mother leaves what appears to be a child in the car to run an errand. When passersby hear the child crying, how will they react? How will people react when it's a dad who leaves the child in the car?
· Alzheimer's Abuse (OAD: 2/9/16): While she's supposed to be taking him out for a day on the town, a caregiver takes advantage of her dementia patient's short-term memory - or lack thereof - to take a personal day of her own. At a nail salon, the caretaker is dismissive and downright insulting to her patient while using his credit card to pay for her manicure, but she explains to onlookers that it's fine, because he won't remember in five minutes anyway. Will any of the customers stick up for the patient and tell her that she is wrong for treating him this way?
· Portland Predator (OAD: 2/9/16): A 15 year-old girl with a guitar is at a café studying when an older man approaches. He claims to have a music studio at his home and invites the teen back to his house to "jam." Our teen is intrigued but suspicious. As our stranger becomes more and more insistent, will bystanders come to her aid before she leaves with a complete stranger?
· Steroid Situation (OAD: 2/9/16): A group of three high school jocks are grabbing a meal. Two of the guys start telling their friend that the way to grow muscles and become faster is to take steroids. They tell him "Steroids is the way to go. It really enhances your performance. It's not dangerous at all." He's skeptical, but they are persistent. Will anyone step in to stop this peer pressure?
· Car Dealership: When a man walks into a dealership looking to buy a car, he is greeted by a friendly saleswoman. This car buyer will have none of it. Women can't possibly sell cars. They don't know what they're talking about. The car buyer asks for a different salesperson, insulting the saleswoman in front of other customers. Will someone stand up for the saleswoman?
