It looks like Ghollywood has gone over the edge. Slashdot had
a pointer to this upcoming program from CBS.
http://marketing.cbs.com/network/tvshows/specials/survivor/index.shtml
Its about marooning 16 people on a deserted island, you get
to play survival and the people who aren't playing well get
self-voted off the island... The prize: $1 million!
This is simply over the edge! Imagine the scenarios...
Since the island is in the South China Sea there is no
law enforcement, you could arrange "accidents" for people
you don't like. Do you play the game with alliances
(required for survival) or deceit and betrayal?
Or if we assume most of the applicants will be men, and you
happened to be a woman who had enjoyed sex a lot...
But "Every moment of Survivor! is intended to be recorded
24-hours a day, 7 days a week." Will they have 16 film
crews on the island or will some of the liasons & backstabbing
go unobserved?
This show is going to be a must-see. They should call it
"Extreme-Truman".
