OK, so this isn't a real show on TV we can discuss. So I hope this is an OK area to post this. I thought it would be fun to write our own reality show. TVCH'ers have a pretty good imagination. I'll start with my own outline of a show (in a second post, so as not to get lost in this introduction post). Feel free to add to my "show." Or, write one of your own......

I don’t have a name for my show yet. But, in case we have more than one “show” being written in this thread (assuming we get any activity in this thread), I’ll call mine “Who’s Show.” 10 men, 10 women. 1 man and 1 woman from each of the following demographics. 1.Young, good looking. Typical reality show type model/actor wanna-be. 2. Body-builder. Takes inordinate amount of time in making sure they look good. Any age, but probably on the younger side. 3. Athlete. Involved in several athletic activities as a way of life. Any age, but likely on the younger side, if you want a currently active athlete. 4. Scholar. Honor roll type material. Any age. 5. Geek, nerd, or otherwise socially awkward person. Any age. 6. Musician, dancer, or someone involved in performing arts (excluding actor/model wanna-be’s). Any age. 7. Middle aged. Mid 30’s/Early 40’s. Good looking. Kept up with their health/looks. 8. Middle aged. Mid 30’s/Early 40’s. Frumpy, “let themselves go” kind of person. 9. Over 50. Kept up with their health/looks. 10. Over 50. Frumpy, “let themselves go” kind of person. First meeting of the contestants consists of a “speed dating” type round. All contestants are identically dressed in matching sweats/t-shirts or whatever, so first impressions aren’t totally dependant on looks. In fact, maybe we could just have the contestants wear the same “uniform” throughout the show. Men in one color, woman in another? Speed dating round is so each contestant can “evaluate” all members of the opposite sex in one-on-one time limited conversations. First challenge is a Men vs. Women challenge. Winning team earns the right to pick partners from the other team for a later challenge. Second challenge pits the members of the winning team from the first challenge against each other. This challenge determines the pecking order of who gets to pick their partner first, second, third, etc. Picking of partners could be interesting, especially if you have a really good mix of demographics among the contestants. Third challenge consists of the 10 newly formed man/woman partner teams. Last place pair goes to elimination challenge (this is a remedy to not only depend on alliances and strategy for who gets nominated for elimination). First place pair picks the other pair to go to elimination challenge (This allows for the strategy/alliance factor that seems to be a requirement in reality shows). Fourth challenge is the elimination challenge. Losing pair goes home. Fifth challenge begins a repeated cycle of challenges 1-4. The ability to re-pick partners after each round of challenges allows the chance for breaking up alliances. It could be likely that people will start picking the same partner for each cycle of challenges, and alliances will still happen. But a bold individual person could throw a wrench into things if they wanted to break up a strong pair, by picking a member of that pair for their partner. I haven’t decided if, once a winning pair is determined, if they should be declared the winners, or if the final man/woman pair then gets pitted against each other for a final individual winner.

I say bring back Wickedly Perfect and also the Mad Mad Mad Mad House. In fact, I say combine the shows. Have two teams compete as before on Wickedly Perfect - however - have the judges be the "alts" from Mad House - a witch, a vampire, a naturist, a voodoo priestess and whatever the other one was.

Bill Engvall took my idea! He hosts "Mobile Home Disaster" on CMT. I was flipping and landed on this. It's "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" for trailers. He introduced his two carpenters and said they really don't do much except walk around with their shirts off, and he's right! lol It struck me as a good satire, that still helped real people. I hope there are new eps scheduled. It's on tomorrow at 11:00 est.

Well, we could have a reality show in which people pitch their version of a reality show. We could have a call in vote and the last one standing would get a slot on our network's new schedule to actually do their show. Maybe we could get Bill Gates to produce it. Would take his kind of money to fund it. LOL
