The Best Reality Show Ever

We have had Fear Factor, where people face their fears. We have had Temptation Island, where people brave temptations in the form of... well, you get it.

But now, I have the idea for the greatest Reality Show (notice the caps) ever. I present...

*drum roll*
Temptation Factor...

The basic idea behind the show: place 4/5 ladies/females/girls in a house together, and the one who can be silent (that's facing fear for you) for the most amount of time, wins. The winner gets free coupons to shop in dress/saree stores (depending on the country) and jewellery shops.

And wait, that's not all. For all people who fear that the temptation to shop will win over the innate fear of silence, there's more. There's the temptation part, you know: at specific intervals, we will be feeding juicy bits of gossip about other girls to everybody. So, everybody will know one fact about all other girls, which is unknown to other girls (except the one about whom it is, of course).

I am sure this is one show which need not be limited to one country, without changing the concept in the least. And think of the rip-offs. We can have "saas-bahu" special, "desperate housewives" special, "sex and the city" special, "bollywood" special and what not (don't make me write any of those serial names again). And all this can be done in one season, can't expect one round to last long, can we?

And we can get the winner of the season to write a book, "How I Kept Silent Despite All", a surefire best-seller gift item (from husbands to their wives). Just the part of royalty from the books will be enough to float our own television channel.

TV award shows, here I come....

@Figo: welcome back, dude... Do you know any venture capitalists?

@Keshi: Now, that's the brilliance of the idea ;) You have to decide what's important for you, jewellery or gossip...

@Sid: Hopefully my "creative commons" will save me from copy. And I don't have any problem somebody taking the idea as long as they give me royalty :D

@Cuckoo: Got the idea from "Studio 60", but haven't copied it...
So, you think you can win the show? Interesting...

Wanna bet ?? ;)

I was thinking what can be a male version for this???

may be not to occur a single sound during a India Pakistan match.. (ofcourse the furniture around also has to be intact)

Keshi said...

def JEWELLERY for me!

:):)

Keshi.

@Cuckoo: You will be in the first series :)

@Sid: Can't make male version of this. Men aren't afraid of silence. Will have to think about what men will have to do...

@Keshi: Thought so ;)
