Sending an attractive lookalike to my high school reunion

(VICE) Like many (most) of us, Stephen didn’t have a good time in high school. He played saxophone in the school band, was a loser, got bullied, and struggled a little (a lot).

Can we get these two to play us as a couple?

Having graduated ten years ago, he hasn’t seen any of his former classmates since. So why not dupe them into thinking he "made it"?

Now his high school reunion is coming up and he wants to settle some scores. So he enlisted the help of VICE's Oobah Butler via his app, Oobah.

In the wake of sending doubles of himself to collect awards and be interviewed by media outlets around the world, Oobah auditioned lookalikes and sent a hotter, more successful but fake version of Stephen to attend his high school reunion to reinvent his image in front of his old classmates. But can he get away with it?
