Survivor; CDC Edition…
8 contestants start off in a CDC lab, Biosafety Level 4, with _NO_ protective suits, there are 7 protective “spacesuits” locked in a locker, the key is located in one of the Bioagent freezers, the freezers are nonfunctional and they contain active pathogens/viruses/bacteria, once the contestants get the spacesuits, they find that of those 7, 2 are intact, the other five have breaches in them
contestants need to make it from BL-4 to BL-1 and survive decontamination to win
viruses present include Hantavirus, Dengue fever, Ebola Zaire
Bacterium include Anthrax and Botulism
parasites; Malaria and the pathogen that causes Sleeping Sickness
basically, it comes down to who has the strongest immune system
another simpler version would be;
“Who Wants To Catch A Deadly Virus?”

All of these would actually be huge hits, methinks.
EDIT: Except maybe the last one.
