I think comedian Rufus Hound probably had the ultimate in reality shows with his idea for one where senior citizens would compete to commit suicide in the most entertaining ways, with the prize money to go to their families. He called it “Blaze of Granny”.
My idea is for VH1 to have a show where they track down people who quit bands just before the bands hit it big. They would find out what happened to them and ask them if they regret quitting.
Considerate Housemates has less chance of ever getting made than Crack Whores.
30 Days Without Make Up. Celebrities maintain their regular routines but without any make up at all for a month. Longest to go without wins a cash prize. I’d watch that out of both natural and morbid curiosity.
OK, I’d allow actors to be made up during shooting so as to not derail the production, but all other appearances would have to be au naturel, to include awards shows and especially interviews.
