How about a bunch of teary-eyed everyday people telling their sad stories, and the audience votes on who should get cash prizes - let's call it BAWLING FOR DOLLARS.
Any other suggestions?

They could do one about home decorating and just tape the paint drying.

I don't what they'd call it but I'd be more likely to watch that than any of the current crop of reality shows!

Let's airdrop some white supremacists into the middle of South Central LA, and challenge them to make it out alive.

There is actually one in development where they send a bunch of fat people to an island and whoever loses the most weight wins the prize... but they tempt the people with cake and other stuff.

The level of stupidity among studio and network execs is truly staggering.

it's all in preparation for the writers' strike.... if there are no writers to script dramas and sitcoms, expect more fatties tempted with cake

Dude I am black (even a little thuggish looking when I want to be) and I wouldn't even do that. Me and some friends of mine got lost near Jordan Downs projects when we went to L.A. 4yrs ago it was broad daylight an we were scared as shyt

Do we get to have the honor of watching them eat the cake, too? Let me guess...FOX?

Who is the Cannibal?

This will combine the Mole and Hannibal, both somewhat popular.

Every week, the person who misses the most questions gets to "meet" the cannibal, if you know what I mean!

Throw a bunch of horny gay guys and some straight guys and see who can last the longest without being "caught".

How about putting all the tv execs that came up with these stupid reality shows on a desert island and forget about them.

and we can tune in to see which goes crazy first. they'd have to fight for food. there would be no cash prize.

I seriously think that if they are going to continue to do this crap, make a cable channel that is all reality based shows. I want original, scripted tv.
