Heard yesterday that there is a proposal for a 'Game Show' in which 1000 men will compete for the prize of fathering a child (but hopefully not live on TV!) After the antics on Big Brother, where two half-wits with a combined IQ of less than the average 14 year old have been encouraged to have sex for our entertainment, this idea takes things even further into the gutter.
What do people think? Have these types of 'Shows' gone too far?
On a lighter note - Does anyone have a suggestion for a new 'Game Show' format? My idea is 'Geriatric Big Brother', in which a group of old people who don't know what day it is sit aroung all day in big chairs and play Bingo.

The show which shocked me the most was a bunch of women competing for one man. How on earth can anyone lower themselves to that level??
The gameshow I'd like to see is 'real live gladiators'. Fights to the death using anything from bare fists to chainsaws in mad max 3 type arenas.
I really believe the Roman's knew what entertainment was.
You what I think would be a really fun reality show. They get a bunch of really conservative, but good looking church women and tell them that they have to live on this deserted island and try to convert the natives on it. And I would have people like Shaq, James Brown, Snoop Dogg, the Outkast, Rick James, the Mack Daddy, Dennis Rodman, and I'd even put Cribs on it. It would be a hoot.
Next season, I would send RBHill out to the same island to convert the native heathens to Christianity. I would have women like Carmen Electra, Jennifer Lopez, and the like. Week one: getting the women to wear clothes.
Originally posted by kirksey957I think you're on to something. But I see it as an island with two competing camps; the christians and the atheists. They'd be on opposite ends of the island. Then there would be a much larger group of people who are neutral, or have no opinion on religion (if such a thing is possible) in the middle of the island. The winner would be the one who brings the most people over to their side of the island.

Originally posted by rwingettThe only problem with that concept as I see it is that it would get people all antagonistic and opinionated like what happens in the forums all the time. At least with my idea, we'd all be rooting for the same thing. Know what I'm sayin?

Originally posted by kirksey957There could be a team of moderators. Each side would be penalized a certain number of points for each time they got antagonistic. So you would get a certain number of points for each person who joined your side, but you'd be docked points for each infraction your side committed.

Either that or you could just let them get all antagonistic. That's what people watch those kind of shows for anyway, isn't it? Very few people want to watch a logical debate. They tune in to see conflict and controversy. It could be a huge ratings hit.

It is to be called "Duel Of Chimps -- Who wants to be the Champ Chimp?"

'Who's Finger Is It Anyway?' - a two hour, live show where a member of the public attempts to guess the identity of the celebrity whose finger is lying on the slab. The format will use a cross between 20 questions and genetic profiling, with prizes reducing in value depending on how many questions are used.
'Forbidden Fruit' - a group of people are left in a room full of fresh food and told they can eat anything except one pile of fruit. One of the group is a studio stooge, who will try and entice the others to eat the fruit (which is laced with a fast acting laxative, for added public amusement). The show will be aired across an eight week period, and the fruit will be the only food to be replaced during this time. Anyone who manages the eight weeks without touching the fruit will win £25.
