The insane, voyeuristic allure of Fielder’s shows comes from the outlandish and colorful cast of real-life characters whom Fielder manages to rope into his bizarre and unpredictable schemes. These subjects enter Fielder’s world blindly, with the intention behind his actions deliberately obfuscated to draw out the most authentic reactions.
Fielder explained this complicated dynamic between himself and his unwitting co-stars in a Reddit AMA from 2015, when he stated, “In general, there seems to be an understanding that when participating in a reality show you’re not going to get full information about what will happen so that authentic moments can be captured on camera. The people that appear comfortable with this are usually the ones we end up involving in the show — those that seem open to an experience or adventure that’s different from their day-to-day life.”

One such adventurous individual is Robbin Stone, an aspiring athlete whose fiercely held beliefs regarding numerology made him a fan favorite during his short stint on The Rehearsal. The fascination regarding Stone’s life, his beliefs and the time he crashed a Scion TC at 100 mph have made him the subject of speculation and investigation long past his exit from the series. Both the Facebook group and the subreddit have kept abreast of Stone’s situation, occasionally receiving a response from the man himself, like in the above post when a sarcastic tweet in the voice of controversial conspiracy theorist and occasional NBA player Kyrie Irving revealed Robbin’s affinity for the player.
