They hired a celebrity host who was given a hidden earpiece and given a script to ensure she says the same thing for each response. Each subject is exposed to the exact same conditions. Subjects weren"t informed that they were participating in an experiment but they did know that they were signing up to torture an individual. The audience members didn"t know it was an experiment.
