The subjects of reality TV shows have become so ridiculous / dehumanized / farcical that they are no longer interesting / shocking / compelling.

Women have to compete to appear in pr0n? That's news to me... I always figured you just took a trip to the valley, dropped trou', and went to it.

That's what I was thinking, togdon. Seriously, don't you just have to ask?

It's too bad. I thought Carey's next endeavor would be the 10,000 man gang bang.

It looks like reality TV has finally found its own level, and quite appropriately too, I might add.

Sounds entertaining.

And, just to be fair, this is not network television, but pay-per-view porno. Honestly, it sounds like it will be more high-brow then most pr0n.

And I don't think this subsedes last weeks' "It's a man baby" show idea (six guys fight over one woman, only to discover it's actually a guy) which was going to be shown on broadcast TV by Sky, which is owned by Rupert Mrudoch.

In the event of a tie, will we get an anal-fisting elimination round?

This is odd, win a p0nr contract; thought if you had it to sell, easy money. Wondering how many of these woman will spend money; nipping, tucking, adding so they may compete for a chance winning money. This seems slim too. Will agree there is lot of money to be made. Direct Tv is owned by GM(iirc). The adult film's division is GM's largest profit maker: the money maker at hotels which took over spirits sales recently.

That's what you call damning with faint praise.

Hmmm, how low can we go? Any takers on when we're gonna see the first human sacrifice reality show?

thomcatspike -- The Ultimate Fighting Championship has never had any women in fights. You're thinking of Art Dore's Toughman competitions which are very different.

maurice thank you for the correction(should of googled it).

For those wondering why the need for a competition. While it may be easier for women than men to get into this business, it ain't easy for anyone to get a $100,000 contract.

Exactly how I feel. Ironic how the nation is split on letting gay people get married when after this show all we need is Who Wants to Knock Up my Daughter and we'll have officially violated every aspect of love, marriage, and/or dating for the purpose of selling advertising slots for cars.

I think that one has been done, thomcatspike.

Who Wants to Knock Up my Daughter

That's a brilliant idea for a reality show...
though I think it would actually be who wants to knock me up or who wants to have my baby.

Who Wants to Be An Accountant? Twenty contestants are forced to balance the Enron books. Watch their excruciating agony as contestants demand reaudits upon reaudits of their competition's work. Last accountant standing wins the opportunity to beat the shit out of Ken Lay.

Jihad Island: Sixteen people are split into four teams of conflicting religious ideologies. Will they murder each other to bits during the holy wars or proselytize the others successfully?

Class Warfare: Central Park West yuppies are sent to a prison with blue-collar workers. Will common sense or Machiavellian vapidity prevail on the chain gang? Tune in to see survival of the fittest as wardens show no mercy amongst "high maintenance" prisoners!

I don't have a name for this show yet, but here is my idea:

10 TV executives are hired and told that they each have to invent a reality show. Each reality show is put on the air, and the one with the highest ratings wins that TV executive the right to keep his job. The other nine are fired, blackballed and, in order to not starve, forced to appear on "Whoopi" as extras.

No, really, it will be a riot.

Here's an idea for a reality show. Take two reasonably attractive people and have them live together as sex partners for a year. At the end of the year, they decide whether to stay together. The angle is that they can't talk or otherwise communicate with each other at all.
They also can't tell anyone they know about this relationship, it is a secret, nor even let anyone else know someone is staying with them. They can't be seen together in public, and they have to pretend they're single.

The show would be called "Stress."
