Pitch your own reality show!

[Jack Zodiac]

It can't be that hard. I mean, hell, Anna Nicole Smith had her own show. And that show about Aaron Carter's hicktastic family is still being produced. Seriously, it seems like anything can be a reality show.

So how about this?

Put a video camera at every checkout counter in one Wal-Mart and hire a few cashiers to antagonize customers about their purchases and then wait for their reactions. It'll be like "Punk'd" but minus the celebrities and a whole lot sadder.

Ooh, or how about this one?

Get a celebrity to follow around. Someone who hasn't done anything in forever, like Christopher Lloyd. Or maybe somebody younger, but equally unproductive, like Patrick Swayze. Follow them around, just like Anna Nicole Smith's show, but don't force them to do anything out of the normal. Let 'em go to Blockbuster and rent softcore porn or hit the drive-thru at Taco Bell. Someone would watch it.

Come up with some really good ones, guys, and then we'll send 'em to Fox!

HOT GIRL-


Pick a Hot girl, I mean HOT..super uber hot. Not the she hot because we say she is Paris types. Secretly Hook her up with a lonely guy that doesnt know about the show. Maybe put out, and see how much exactly how big a B does she have to be for her to get Dump

Also heck Hot girl alone, Is there anywhere she cant get in free, any speed laws she couldnt break


The Sequel

RICH JERK-

Heck Flavor of love show even people who arent so rich can get away with stuff as long as 15 minuts of fame is involve.

[o1pickleboy]

I had a big brother meets survivor idea.

It would have the house and the beach. They would have a reward challenge every week for who gets the house. It would give us pretty people to watch since they could eat and shower. Plus gives us the survival aspect of the show since half of them at all times is suffering.

To make it fair, I would remove the tribes and have teams drawn at every challenge.(that way the ones in the house don't keep winning)

I would probably have the elimation the same as survivor. With teams drawn before the immunity challenge to. So they are playing against everybody.

[StoneGold]

Macho Madness.


It's kind of like Hogan Knows Best, but it's mostly just Randy Savage sitting around his pool.

[o1pickleboy]

Another one I had was Reality Show Blitz. It would use every style of Reality Game show out there.

It would start like Survivor having the players vote a player out.(after 3 days on a island and a challenge) 16 players

Then they would get flown to New York and complete for a executive job. (three team of 5 would complete in assignment) The losing 5 would go in front of Trump(or whoever) and 1 of them would get fired. 15players.

Then from the office they would get pair down to teams of 2. and race to a challenge point and then race to the pit stop.(last team of 2 elimated)

Then the remaining 12 would get split by gender and complete in a Joe Millionare setting. With the women trying to impress a guy and the guys trying to impress a Woman. The man and woman would decide who they like the least and remove them game(one man and one woman elimated)

From there the remaining 10 would then go into the big brother house. Where they would live on a live feed. The would have a HOH(head of household) challenge which the winner will place to up for eviction. Then the rest vote.

While in the house they have to do a standup comedy. With them voting on basis of who they think they can beat. The player voted the least funniest would select an opponent. And they would have a standup standoff with the audience selecting the funnier one. The loser would go home.

While on the live cams, viewers at home would be instructed to vote for who they want to see elimated. Highest votes goes

Now at 8. Would go to random reality with the game revisiting each game at random by a player spinning a selection wheel. The elimation would continue until we have 2 left. Then all the judges(the players, Trump, the two millionaries, the viewers at home) would vote(one vote a piece) on who is the ulimate reality winner and best reality player.

I WANNA BE A #()@%ING PORNSTAR

Contestants are placed in a compound on Van Nuys, stripped (literally) of all privacy, and encouraged to practice together, before being paired with actual pornstars, and given a variety of sexual acts to perform (such as straight, lesbian, gay-for-pay, and fetish), as well as difficult tasks, like solo and group nude photo shoots, and having toys molded from their body-parts. The competition culminates in a 10 hour gang-bang, where celebrity judges Larry Flynt, Annie Sprinkle, and Jerry Falwell's votes will be tabulated along with the viewers, and the winner will receive a lucrative 5 year video & sex-toy contract.

[titanfan]

I WANNA BE A #()@%ING PORNSTAR

You realize that this show has already been made, right? (There's even been gay spinoffs of this)

[Ontir]

I don't have payTV, so no, I didn't know. Was it anywhere near what I described? What was it actually called?

[Tommy]

I was working on my own dating show. Which would feature me as a "bachelor" type. Except I would be completely insane.

Instead of roses I would hand out pearl necklaces.

And my "dates" would be taking my young women to strip clubs. I would make vague references to being more interested in men. I take them to a comic convention and just leave them there while I went off to get autographs...

IT would be fun.

[titanfan]

I can't remember the name, but I believe it was on Playboy or one of those other adult channels. Same as how you said, in that they were male and female contestants. They weren't encourage to practice though and they tried to give it some legitimacy. They were various challenges, "celebrity" porn judges, etc.

Then there was a gay one which was mostly a web-show that was a spoof of American Idol where viewers voted based on "performance".

Unemployable

Contestants go on hidden-camera job-interviews, making extreme efforts to present themselves as exasperating, weird, and un-fit employees, without using violence, swear-words, or excessive sexual gestures or innuendo, and at all times, they must appear to earnestly want the job in question.

[Callie]

OREGON TRAIL

Families race from point A to point B in covered wagons just like the classic game. They receive a week or two of training to prep them for the journey, then they spend their limited amount of money on their necessities from the mercantile, and off they go. Since shooting animals on TV is obviously going to rile up PETA, the families instead have to do tasks to earn food.

Wow! That's 0-2, Ontir. :p You sure you aren't already a television exec?

[Ontir]

The thing is, that I don't have PayTV, and I don't watch "reality" TV (aside from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition), so I'm not sure what's already been and gone.

A producer/distributor friend of mine told me that "reality" is actually one of the sleezier places to work in entertainment. There are, apparently, a great many shady people, trying to make a quicker buck, off the backs of the largely clueless, and that if you don't have a network connection, you're more likely to get your idea stolen, than on the air.

You know me too well. I was talking to my friend last night about McDonald's Monopoly and how I'm an utter fool because I will play until I win or die. He asked me what I'd do if I won all the money, and I said I'd set up a Scrooge McDuck-like money pit to dive into and swim around in.

"SCREW YOU!"

Normal people call into the show and complain about someone they totally hate. Then, they hide cameras everywhere this guy goes. Everyone he knows is in on it. They keep playing pranks and annoying him and then keep just getting crueler and crueler, like his doctor could say he needs to amputate a leg, his mom fakes her death, his house burn downs. Push him to the limits until he either goes crazy of kills himself. Insert a laugh track.

It could work in Japan.

Stone Lottery

Inspired by the Shirley Jackson short-story, contestants are put through a rigorous maze and tests of skill and endurance. At the end of each trial, the lowest score, based upon the judges and viewer responses, are stoned to death. It continues until there is only one who walks away with $10 million.

The losers don't even get burial expenses!

D-Day

[Cephus]

I wouldn't, I think the overwhelming majority of so-called "reality" shows are just stupid, filled with idiots who I'd never want to be around in real life. It's all a bunch of dysfunctional morons acting out in front of a camera.

Now if I had to come up with one, I'd probably do something on TV executives. Whenever they cancelled a show that one of the panel of judges liked, the judge gets to execute them in the manner most appropriate. The last exec alive gets a prize and hopefully a promotion.

[GingerSpiceGuy]

i wished that they would have contests about playing the role of their favorite actor of a particular movie and the winner gets a large amount of money. I would volunteer to be Steven Seagal of any of his movies.

Oh, I completely agree. The point of this thread is that these ideas are all so ridiculous and stupid, yet each of them (okay, maybe not the "Survivor: Auschwitz" one) has a possibility of being made. And that's how lame reality television is. Any schmuck with a crazy gag can make a show. Like Super Hero Guy's "Screw You!" I could totally see that being a reality show.

In your honor, sir, I endorse the idea of a special edition of "The Bachelorette" staring Ginger Spice. So what if she's married? That's the twist! She'd have to divorce her husband and marry the winner. :p

The difference here, is that the contestants don't have the jobs, they're interviewing, and have to eagerly pursue as many jobs as possible, while presenting themselves in the least enticing manner, forcing them to be dual-purpose in every conversation.

Who's your new pornatar?

With Raging Stallion, he's Alex Corsi, but with Titan, he's Alex Baresi. I believe he is a Titan Exclusive now, although Raging Stallion discovered him.

Mine would be "What is your price" based off the theory that everyone can be bought. It would have a host and camera crew going to random people and have them do embarassing things for money.

Example: A random girl on the street. Host walks up and explains the show on air. Offers her 50bucks to kiss a stranger. The price keeps going up until she either accepts and kisses the stranger or hit a predertermed topout level(that way we don't have people just saying no to get more money)

this would have to be on a pay channel or late nite becuase most of the entertaining requests would be Not safe for regular tv.

"Death Island"

Contestants are left on an island to fend for themselves. However, they are not given any food, any supplies, clothes, shelter. Oh, and they were just randomly abducted off the street before going on the island. And it's not one of those nice tropical islands. It's full of all the world's most dangerous animals, there is a different kind of natural disaster every day, and there are evil natives living there. Last person alive gets the pleasure of knowing that they are the last person alive. And they get left there afterwards.

It could work in Japan. Maybe.

Celebrity Boxing, starring Paris Hilton. Paris and all the other badly behaving young Hollywood tramps could battle it out for a special boxing title.

Back during my college years, one of my friends used to secretly tape (audio only) some of our gaming sessions. Eventually he played them back for both our group and also for some non-gamer friends of his. Most of it was pretty dull for the non-gamers, but there were some occasionally hilarious moments.

Best laugh line for everybody: somebody rolled a critical failure (Stormbringer, not D&D) and shot another character in the back with his demon bow. On the tape, you hear the clatter of a handful of dice, and then everybody is silent for a moment. Then somebody speaks up and says, "Wow. Look at all those sixes." Then everybody laughs.

If you record video of your D&D group, I have a couple of suggestions. First, turn off the background music, otherwise a lot of the talking will be difficult to hear clearly. Second, try to get your most visually interesting players to sit near each other and point the camera in their direction. Look for facial expressions, talking with the hands, or just general strangeness.

Independant politcs.

this show would show case the varous political parties and proud members of. You ever wonder what a U.S taxpayer is like. How difference and similar to you or a normal person they are. How about a green or reform.

Then after showcasing all the parties. There reps would be placed in a series of challenges. Where they would used there viewpoints and politics to solve them.

I think it would be a great forum to show off the other options in the U.S politic spectrum.

Sadly, I could see something like this happening in the distant future.

I'd watch at least the first couple of episodes out of curiosity.

What might even be better is if they filmed those RPG Gaming Tournaments. (Do those still exist) You always a few crazies that attend those and a different mix of people since you aren't always gaming with your friends.

There's always:
- The super competitive power gamer who needs to race through the module in record time since it's a competition!
- The one who is there just playing for fun, much to the dismay of the super competitive one.
- The one who gets too into character--and sometimes never leaves--and doesn't realize he's irritating the whole table.
- The smelly one who hasn't showered.

And since there's always voting in these things at the end, there's always a game of mini-survivor being played while doing the module....
