[Ted Nugent has a new reality show to debut in August](http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/04/ted-nugent-runn.html). Apparently, the plot of the show is that Ted will take 3 contestants out in the woods for survival training, and at the end of said training, he will “hunt” them. That would be so much fun getting to run around like Ice-T in “Surviving the Game”. I dislike “reality” TV, but I have GOT to be on this show! Where does one go about applying for a reality TV show? I checked CMT, but they don’t have any info, nor does Ted’s cluttered website. ---

This sounds like a most dangerous game. ---

I actually prefer “Let’s Hunt and Kill Billy Ray Cyrus” ---

Inevitable. I mean, really, isn’t this what all reality TV was leading to? I hope some one has the brains to let him get ahead of them, then follow him all through the show. Bwaaaaa ha ha ha ha! ---

It’s been done. > **[Series 7: The Contenders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_7:_The_Contenders)** > > Series 7: The Contenders is a 2001 American satirical dark comedy film written and directed by Daniel Minahan. The film is presented as a marathon of the seventh series of an American reality television show called The Contenders, where six people, picked at random from a national lottery, are each given a pistol and forced to hunt and kill each other for the cameras. The film is a satire of the reality television genre. It stars Brooke Smith as Dawn, the reigning champion from the fifth and sixt... … On a more serious note. This sounds awesome! A million dollars to the first person to get a slingshot knife stuck in Ted’s gut! ---

Mantracker’s a blast, though I assume it’s totally bogus. I mean, how do you sneak quietly past “Mantracker” with a camera crew following you? How come whenever they show Mantracker spotting the prey in the distance, you never see the camera crew standing beside the prey? Or do they go back once it’s over and re-shoot all the pivotal scenes of the chase? Whatever-- it can be a hoot. The episode with the punk and his chubby friend was priceless. I doubt Ted’s version will be an improvement. ---
