John Quiñones is back with another season of his What Would You Do? TV show. Although the investigative series first began as part of ABC’s Primetime newsmagazine, and was first known as Primetime: What Would You Do?, it has dropped that banner within the past few years. In 2016, the ratings dropped off, significantly. Will the audience return for the newest installment? Will What Would You Do? be cancelled or renewed for another season? Stay tuned.
Hosted by Quiñones, What Would You Do? explores how people react to strangers in uncomfortable circumstances. With hidden cameras at the ready, actors play out various scenarios, in front of unwitting bystanders. The ABC TV series seeks to discover how and when people feel they must intervene and when and why they choose to mind their own business. Quiñones reports about how they made their decisions. Scenarios include displays of harsh parenting, bullying, controlling spouses, verbal abuse, and more. **Status update below.
