Idea for new Reality TV show

This might have already been done on the Real World, but I don't know if it had this twist.

Basically, you get a bunch of rich kids aged 18-22 from Ivy League schools. Then, you put them in the most dive ghetto house in the crappiest neighborhood you have ever seen. Once there, they must all fend for themselves. The premise would be the same as Survivor, with elminations and all, and a prize for the last kid standing.

It's an interesting concept, but it would be hard to pull off as the producers would have to go to great lengths to ensure that none of the kids were really in any danger.

I think it would start controversy....

I can just see Jesse Jackson & his supporters holding press conferences about the racism to put white kids in a black neighborhood and tell them they're in danger of being killed because the people in the area are "bad"

That has possibilities.

At least it would be real!

One problem with the threads creators reality show.. How do you get the rich kids to take part. You really can't offer them money since they already have it.

Reality shows have never been about the money. It's been about getting the exposure and breaking into the industry.

Interestiing as Dr. DVD didn't even mention the ethnicities of the participants. I can see Jesse Jackson having a problem with your post. (j/k of course)

Pitch it to FOX. They'll put anything on.
