(see Oct. 31, Nov. 5). Various reports pegged the undisclosed settlement “at anywhere between $150,000 and $250,000 a man”. (Steve Rogers, “Lawsuit settled, ‘Crying Game’-like ‘There’s Something About Miriam’ premieres in UK”, RealityTVWorld, Feb. 23; Debi Enker, “Reality reaches new low”, Melbourne Age, May 20) (via Curmudgeonly Clerk, May 20).
