During the Q&amp;A, he&#8217;d told the Reporters Who Cover Television that &quot;we completely shifted 180 degrees as a result of what we learned from these gentlemen and how much respect grew in us for their decision, for them as men and for the struggle they were going through.&quot;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bi\">What they learned from these gentlemen, he told The TV Column, is that these guys could not be manipulated to do things, as participants on other reality series can. So &quot;God or the Girl&quot; is more of a straight documentary, said Wolper, who executive produces the Penn &amp; Teller show on Showtime as well as TV movies such as CBS&#8217;s holiday flick &quot;Snow Wonder&quot; starring Mary Tyler Moore and TNT&#8217;s remake of Stephen King&#8217;s &quot;Salem&#8217;s Lot&quot; starring Rob Lowe.
