It's called "Try Not to Die". I get a shotgun and a combat knife, and the first person out of twenty to kill me in an empty room gets to live. Fuck reality shows.

I'd like to see a reality show with convicts on Death Row all trapped on an island. Last one alive gets to go free.

There would have to be challenges occasionally where the winner would get like a knife, and progressively the challenges get better weapons. Like a stick of dynamite.

I want to see an actual survivor show where they don't get catered with food and prizes. I to see death by starvation, fighting caused by insanity, and raw hunting. Like someone tacklking a wild pig and stabbing it to death with a small knife.

I think it's only a matter of time before we have these reality/game shows where contestants can actually die or even kill each other.

Back before 9/11, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and some other folk were in the planning stages of a show called The Runner, the premise of which is directly stolen from Stephen King's The Running Man.

In both the book and the show, a contestant is let loose to wander the country, completing challenges and evading a manhunt. Viewers would get updates on the contestant's whereabouts, a la America's Most Wanted, I suppose. Viewers can also get cash "rewards" for sending tips that lead to the contestant's capture. If the contestant evades capture for 30 days, they win $1 million.

The only difference between the book and the show is that, in the book, if you get caught, you are killed. The irony is that King used this show to illustrate how horrible society had become, but it is such a compelling story (for the most part) that it would make for what network execs would call " great television." So, I say you can look for this show to resurface, and maybe, if things get bad enough, the contestants will get to bite the big one.

However it pans out, I think we'll be seeing more shows like this in the coming years. The collective bloodlust of the public should get much worse as time goes by.

Come to think of it, I think this should be in the Philo forum.

well hes right IT IS GREAT TELEVISION

But if we make a show like that it has to have a fat opera guy who shoots lightning bolts.

THE MOLE(ster)

An 8-year-old boy lives in a house with 6 grown men. They engage in fun activities such as french kissing, skinny dipping, checking for prostate cancer, and playing dress-up. At the end of 6 months, the boy has to guess who the pedophile boylover is. If he guesses right, his parents get to press charges.
