The
ultimate game show would be a
modification of
Big Brother. 10 players would be placed in a
habitat for a year, with absolutely no
contact with the
outside world.
The
dwelling would be
underground, so nobody could send them
messages with a
bullhorn, or trailed behind an
airplane.
The role of the
host would be only to
narrate events. He, or she, would have no
contact with the
contestants.
There would be no
voting out of contestants, if a
contestant can't take it anymore, they're free to
leave. The last to leave would get the
prize money, or, if
multiple contestants
remain at the end, the prize would be
split between them.
As opposed to
Big Brother, contestants would be
left alone. No
contact with the
host, no contact with the
outside world. No reward
challenges or anything of the sort. Total
isolation for as long as they can stand it.
The
media once tried to
justify the
popularity of
Big Brother, saying people wanted to see how others would
react to the
isolation. From this
statement, I
realized it would be much more
stimulating if the contestants were truly
isolated. And so, came up with this idea. Now that would be a
show for me.
But until people get over the
inhumane aspect of
isolating people
underground purely for the
entertainment of others, I'll just have to settle for
Junkyard Wars.
