Reality TV - Your Choice


Posts: 7645

- If you had the opportunity to participate in a reality TV show, with the possibility of winning a large financial reward, which show would you want to participate in? And, why did you choose that particular show?

- Imagine you have legal immunity, what type of reality show would you create if you had the opportunity and financial resources to create one?

- If there was a reality show called 'Death Match' that pitted eligible prisoners against each other in an arena, in one on one fights to the death, do you think a show like that would be considered inhumane?

 I don't watch reality TV.  I used to watch Survivor and Big Brother a long time ago.  If I had to choose I would pick either The Mole or Big Brother, since I would do better in social/mental challenges than physical.

I would probably make a death-match related show, actually.  I think a show with stuff like you see in Hostel, Saw, and The Collector would get rabid fandom.

I think the last question answers itself.  It would be inhumane, but that is the very reason why it would be so popular.

I've never seen Survivor, but I have watched Big Brother a few times in the past. I don't think I'd last too long on that show though because I'm confrontational. I don't get into yelling matches though. I remain calm and cold which seems to piss people off even more than yelling at them. People view it as me being smug and condescending.

The show I would really like to be on is The Apprentice - US version. I don't live in the US though, but if I did, I think it would be very interesting because the show offers challenge in a competitive environment.

I can't answer all of the questions. I don't watch those things either but I know there is a Swedish one where they live and work on a farm. What little I've seen, infantile adults run around not knowing what to do when there is no supermarket and no modern facilities.

I have lived without indoor plumbing, electricity and running water. Wood stove for heat. I can cut wood, grow things, kill and butcher animals... No problem. I would be more knowledgeable than the others (but I assume they only pick city kids for the show...).

I wouldn't really say that would make a total difference, but I could focus on the social gameplay while the others struggled with practical things.

The show I'd like to make would be life in a mental hospital. That could get really interesting. :)

 Oh your show idea gave me an idea, in return.  I know there have been film and television shows with similar concepts, but a serial killer type of show would also be enormously popular.  You could vote in for people that are to be killed, maybe even choosing who does the killing, then viewers can vote on kill methods and locations and such.

Call it "Last Requests."

I really like that idea, but I think after awhile it would get a bit tedius and boring. Murder is only interesting to a point.

With that said though, I'd like to watch a show where professional killers are sent to an island to take each other out. The show could be called 'Last Man Standing'.

Define "reality tv show" 

 

As far as i'm concerned they're all scripted.

Reality TV is unscripted and shows actual occurances. In other words, the participants are not acting out a role.

 Kinda doubt that.

1. No idea, probably something where my pressence is ironic.
2. A show where I find idiots and teach them complex things, recording their rate of progress and success versus failures. I have fun doing this already, like when I taught a braindead jock how to play Chess. He acted like the game hurt his head to play... but I guess I am persuassive or something. That pain is fun to watch, and it's justifiable in the name of improvement.
3. Yes, but I'd watch it anyway.
