"No, it's not real at all," says Cari Wyatt, who tells INSIDE EDITION she was paid $500 to appear in an episode of Cheaters. She says she was asked to pretend that she was having a torrid affair with one guy while she was engaged to another.

But Wyatt says she never met either man until the day they started shooting and that the whole thing was fake.

"That whole thing was fabricated?" asks INSIDE EDITION's Matt Meagher.

"Correct," laughs Wyatt. "I've never been engaged."

The couples caught on Cheaters aren't very discreet, apparently meeting each other again and again in public places, making it an easy job for the show's detectives. In episode after episode, the couples they follow around always seem to have their romantic rendezvous right in front of a big window.

Wyatt says, "They asked us to sit next to the windows, ham it up a little bit, be flirty and touchy, to kiss a couple of times, but we never did, we just faked it."

Carl Burmeister says he was paid to play Wyatt's lover and that the entire episode was shot at the home of one of the show's producers. The program also claimed that the cheaters were under surveillance for three weeks, but Burmeister says that in reality it was all shot in just two days.

Wyatt, although under the legal drinking age at the time of the taping, told INSIDE EDITION she was given alcohol in an attempt to loosen her up for the romantic scenes.

But the best-known episode of Cheaters, the episode that put the show on the TV map, is the episode where host Joey Greco gets stabbed by an irate man caught cheating.

"So none of it was true?
"No," says Cassandra Terrazas, a Dallas hotel receptionist who says she was paid $350 for a few days work playing a woman who is caught having an affair with the man.

She was told the confrontation would take place on a lake located near Dallas. "It was all set up," she says. "They just rented a boat for us and we were supposed to be out like we were fishing and I was supposed to be sunbathing, and then they were going to come up on another boat and catch us."

As typically happens on the program, host Joey Greco lectured the people caught cheating on the immorality of infidelity. But on this occasion, a fight broke out and it appeared that Greco was stabbed in the stomach by Cassandra's supposed "boyfriend."

The young man was immediately restrained, and Greco, blood gushing from his wound, was rushed back to shore where paramedics fought to save his life.

A police car sped away, and the viewer is led to believe the knife-wielding cheater has been arrested and taken to the Rowlett Police Station.

But according to the police in Rowlett, Texas, that never happened. "There were no arrests at all during that time period for that type of crime," says John Ellison of the Rowlett Police Department.

According to Cassandra Terrazas the ambulance was rented, the blood was fake, and everything was scripted right down to the person who fell off the boat.
