What you think

While not featured on the television show in the first week, "What you Think" is Real Stories' version of the traditional current affairs viewer feedback segment. Currently only existing on the Real Stories website, its appearance in the second week of the show is currently unknown but it is assumed to be a part of the second episode. What you think includes a 'viewer' poll even though no viewer question was asked during the first episode. The first question asked was "Have you ever visited a street accountant, but would never reveal it to anyone? Even an internet web poll?" Even though there is no possibility of actually voting YES, the values listed are YES as 98% and NO is the remaining 2%.

An incomplete list of the web polls follows:

Episode 1 'Webpoll': Have you ever visited a street accountant, but would never reveal it to anyone? Even an Internet web poll? YES 98%, NO 2%

Episode 2 'Webpoll': Have you ever pashed an out of control, drunk police officer and loved it?" YES 90%, NO: 10%
