Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:
Especially with “surprise” reality shows, you may be led to believe you are being cast for one type of show when you are in fact being cast for something completely different. The interview questions may tip you off to the show’s true content. Just as the interviewer is trying to get a gut reading on you, you will develop a gut reading on the show.
