People all over the world are arguing about how the show is going to end. The reality show presents engaged couples and their journeys to the alter. The dramas make fans frustrated as much as the contestants. Some people don't buy into the show becuase they think it's scripted whereas many of them think that's 100% real. In light of the strained relationships they show, I do not in the least doubt they're faking. That's not they can act on what they were told to. Even the production never try to bring them together, cause it has to show the real side.  One of the participants openly talked about how her business happened to be prosper, and I thought it's sort of misconduct. It came about that it was on air, that caused publicity stunts whether it's good or bad.

The new product's launching day has set up. Now we're preparing for getting this project off the ground. In this product we've just started to take, the customer service department is very importnat building blcok. Since our manager takes the fact foremost in mind, she chose to roll this out sparingly. It's definitely less risky, because otherwise, big-bang rollout would require too many QA processes and labors, but still can't even certain about its success. The thing is, our client has been putting his foot down without knowing the risks of such things. The user testing phases he suggested doesn't seem deep enough to test its quality. It's just like scatching the surface.
