This is mainly for fun. What would be some ideas you would have for a reality show? Or how would you improve on current ones?

Come on, our ideas couldn't be worse than anything that is already out there.  Cheesy

My husband and I were talking last night about this. I thought this might be a fun idea for, like, Comedy Central or something:

In the tradition of My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance or The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, have a dating reality show where someone is trying to find a date or whatever and is picking from a field of 'candidates'. Or, have a person's friends meet the 'candidates' to help make the decision who should go forward. But, it's a stunt. All of the candidates are in on the joke, and their mission is not to impress the main person, but to see how far they can push that person until they are 'dumped'. Basically, they act as obnoxious as possible and go out of their way to annoy the person (and/or their friends) in a harmless way, until the person narrows it down to the person who they are the least annoyed by. Or else throws in the towel. The joke can be revealed then, that all of the candidates were deliberately being idiots and that it was a practical joke. Not sure if the person's friends would be in on the joke or not.

I would not do this to a constestant who is seriously looking for a long-term relationship so much as someone who is doing the show for fun or publicity, which seems like most of them to me. Extra points if the contestant is an obnoxious celebrity, as it might be fun to see who can out-annoy someone like Courtney Love or Flava Flav. 

What would be an idea for a reality show for you? Some ideas, like this one, might sound mean, but I find it hard to believe that a person could seriously think they could find a real relationship on a reality show. And some of the dating ones are pretty mean already.

Well, I would have to vote for something similar to what I thought survivor was going to be like before I watched it and was disappointed. 

Basically, you maroon the contestants on a deserted island, and it is more of a stamina contest than anything else.  You don't vote anyone off.  They can leave if it gets to hard, or if they have a medical emergency, but that is about it.  No contests, no rewards, nothing like that.  All about who wants it more.

Leave them stranded on a island for a month armed with nothing but video cameras and Bowie knives.   Now that would be survivor!

Yeah!

Kind of like a competitive "survivor man". 

Of course we're kind of getting into "running man" territory here (the book not the movie)

I don't know if I should be worried about that or not....

Does anyone else remember Eco Challenge?  I think it was on Discovery

It was an adventure race where groups started at one location (like the east coast of Australia) and had to make their way (on foot, bike, mountain climbing and by swimming) to another location (like the west coast of Australia)

I vividly recall one guy being impaled by a tree while mountain biking.  Foot rot was also very common and very ugly.  I can't remember if this was a take off from another adventure race or not. 

The Patagonia Adventure Race is also very nice.
