Labmouse | Monday, April 08, 2002 - 04:50 pm     This is sort of a takeoff of the old 1950s show "The Millionaire". That was fiction, and my reality show would be non-fiction...sort of like a one person Real World. Okay...here it goes...I win the lottery for $185,000,000. The cameras follow me around on a weekly basis as I do the research necessary to find people who I think deserve a $1,000,000 reward for good deeds done. At the end of each episode I go and give the prize to each selectee. It's a dream, but it could happen... |
Alaskagal | Monday, April 08, 2002 - 05:36 pm     Labmouse that is great. PICK ME PICK ME.. I would love to see a Real Survival show. Put 10 teams of 2 people each in various spots on a secluded island with no food and little gear and then have competitions and the losing team goes home. That way people cannot ride out on other peoples hard work or have alliances that keep them in. You'd actually have to be a survivor. |
Labmouse | Monday, April 08, 2002 - 06:22 pm     Yeap, the "alliance" thingy seems to creep into a lot of TV Reality shows. It is a weakness of the genre that is getting a little old. I know it would be difficult to ban alliances, but it sure would make the shows a lot more interesting. |
Flint | Monday, April 08, 2002 - 07:32 pm     REALLY dump people into a new culture or environment and see if they can survive. Whether it is an actual survivor show, or seeing how they survive in another culture. |
Misslibra | Monday, April 08, 2002 - 07:52 pm     Flint, wouldn't that be like Lost? |
Flint | Monday, April 08, 2002 - 08:01 pm     Never heard of Lost. |
Misslibra | Monday, April 08, 2002 - 08:06 pm     Your kidding? We had a thread about it. I liked it myself for the main reason you stated, because they were in a different country, with different cultures. Remember they dropped them off with no money or anything? |
Flint | Monday, April 08, 2002 - 11:03 pm     Nope. If I knew about it, I forgot. It still doesn't ring a bell. |

Car54 | Tuesday, April 09, 2002 - 08:38 am     Flint, it was only on VERY briefly on NBC and I think it was after you went away, so you would never have had the chance to see it. We barely did. 3 teams of 2 people dropped off somewhere and they have to get home with no money. Only 3 episodes per trip. Lots of begging and lap dancing for money. |
Webkitty | Tuesday, April 09, 2002 - 02:09 pm     I liked LOST.....One of the teams gave up in Russia and asked to be taken home. The teams weren't given much money, no plane tickets, hardly any resources at all except their wits. It got a little depressing at times because of this, some of the situations they had to go through and people they met. Cured me of my wanderlust for awhile!  |
