A husband and wife quickly find themselves in reality television hell. As their lives are filmed before a live television audidance. They soon realized everything said and done was filmed. When they agreed to do a show about their lives as former circus performers, they never thought they’d be freaks again.
The television company expected them to perform the acts from the circus. Jane and Michael gave up the circus life when Jane gave birth to their son Michael Junior. He was born with Down syndrome. In the circus Jane was a tightrope walker with a beard. Michael was the strong man and refused to wear those fake muscles again. Little did they know that they would be expected perform such acts before the camera. If Jane and Michael didn’t perform their young son would have been harmed. To prevent that they preformed daily tasks as well as the circus acts.
One day Jane figured away out of the contract. And that was if their son were harmed on the set their contract would be broken. Because of his Down syndrome he wasn’t allowed on the set, but Jane was determined to have him perform for the television audidance. Instantly Michael Junior tripped over the wiring on the set and was hurt badly. The contract was null and void. Happy days were here again.

This could be an interesting story if you'd let it out. Right now, it's just a paragraph that reads more like a summary of events, though. Shame, that.

Its an interesting idea, but you reveal too much later like a bad brainstorming session. You should mention the MC's being former circus performers first not in the fourth sentence. Another thing is how would they not know they are expect to be exploited for TV ? Every "reality star" knows that, which is why most seem to have done a sex tape before getting their own show...
