Personally I love it. The idea is great!

Lock up all the maniacs in the world.

The only point I have not understood, is why the heck they let them out afterwards... I mean, lock 'em up and throw away the key. That would be sensible. Let them eat eachother, until none are left.

I will be the one filming the entire deal, and say "Good riddance" afterwards.

Reality TV got to be one of the worst thing which ever went on air on TV. If I'd wanted to see the sick and bland life of someone else I would not seek it on TV but simply get out of my house, get in to a poor soul house and look at him.

Tom's idea was kind of like my idea for a reality TV show. It's sort of like "Celebrity Blair Witch Project" where you put them in the middle of a really scary forest and then kill them off one by one.
My other idea also involves a forest but on that contestants are chased around by rabid hounds.

There was only one good piece of reality TV and that was The Apprentice, the reason that was good was that, instead of taking a bunch of gormless idiots off the street and giving them tasks they took people who actually know what they are doing.

I hate it!

The TV producers can't convince me that that is a real life... <_<

Not even there is something really real, like wrestling... IMHO it's only a bad show :not_ok:

Well I don't know what other countries have this reality TV show (except for Belgium, the netherlands and the US) but there is a show here in Belgium called "Temptation island" where they put a bunch of twits in bathing suits (they always arrive as a couple) on a tropical island and then people wait for the inevitable to happen (the inevitable is, of coarse, filmed so everybody can 'enjoy' it)

My idea doesn't deviate that much from this initial idea, however in my show at least one man and one woman would be carrying the HIV virus, thus adding an entire russian-roulette undertone to the show.

As for what I think of reality TV shows... I used to watch TV a lot (and I mean a LOT) but in the last few years I've only watched TV for the news and for the occasional movie, enough said.

Film it. I'd see that.

I hate most of it, but always end up watching bits of Big Brother - they're even more gormless and irritating than usual this year, except Kemal looks like he's going to make it bearable (until the public kick him out as soon as he gets nominated. gotta love those homophobes...)
