'I Bet You Will'
"Extra" told you last year about the shoots for a New York-based webcast called, "I Bet You Will," devoted to the concept that "people will do anything for money."
Back then, for instance, the show's creator, Morgan Spurlock, paid a young woman $450 to gulp nine shots of vile liquids, and another guy $235 to eat a giant jar of mustard. Now Spurlock has hit the big time. His show has been picked up by MTV.
Spurlock still runs the shoots, but now he has co-hosts, including Godfrey and singer Willa Ford. Morgan says, "We have a bigger budget now, to say the least."
It's not going on prize money though. Godfrey says, "I can get people to do it for free, just because they're on MTV. They don't care. People are crazy."
The biggest gross out so far in the MTV version is this $250 shocker. Morgan says, "We bet a girl to let us shave her head into a Mohawk. We combined it with three sticks of butter and she ate her own hair in this giant butter hairball."
Maybe they should just call it: "I Bet You're Ill."
