my idea for a dating show with a strange twist
 
start with a bunch of guys, slowly weed them down to two.

then, instead of forcing the girl to choose between two guys, make the two guys get into some sort of no-holds-barred street fight.

winner gets the girl.

Your idea wouldn't even be good on the WB..

aktick 12-08-03 09:39 PM

Weeeeellll, the guy on Average Joe just said he was ready for a fight tonight, on the final elimination....?

DRG 12-08-03 10:13 PM

Here's my idea... have the girl whittle ten or so guys down to one. Then, before they embark on their love cruise or whatever reveal the twist. The guy now gets to go through the process with 10 new girls, while the original girl has to sit it out. He whittles the new girls down to one, and then must decide whether to pick the original girl or the new one from the whittling process.

The problem with that is that the luster would inevitably wear off from the first girl

Perfect, that's all you need.

Darren Garrison 12-08-03 10:45 PM

Almost, but not quite a hit. When you get down to two guys, force them to make out with each other at gunpoint. Call it Twisted, Vindictive Queer Eye on the Straight Guys.

So, a dating game with a Rocky V twist at the end - could work.

I suppose they could include the old girl in the activities somehow.

Morf 12-09-03 09:36 AM

My idea: people show up thinking they are going to be on a reality dating show only to be hunted like animals a la Running Man.

Michael Corvin 12-09-03 10:05 AM

How about having all the guys be gay? Not flaming, but could pass for hetero.

Didn't they do this in the UK? One girl, a bunch of guys after the girl, but the girl was a transvestite or going through a sex change or something. The men sued for 'emotional trauma' and embarassment, and the show isn't being aired.

Personally, I'd watch the 'Running Man' type show. Throw some real reality into it.

Groucho 12-09-03 10:23 AM

My idea is simple: the usual bachelor format, but with 8 guys and 8 girls all going after one bisexual.

Another idea I had is called "Perfect Match" You would have 8 guys and 8 girls. After each round, everybody would rank the members of the opposite sex based on who they wanted to spend the most time with. The guy and girl with the least votes would each get eliminated. The last two remaining get a vacation prize.

Here's the twist: if the guy and girl who are eliminated in each round also happened to rank each other the highest, they would be declared a "Perfect Match" and would also win the grand prize.

My idea: gather all the network programming directors responsible for turning American primetime into Reality TV hell, and have them fight for survival on a desert island, while competing for each other's affections, and promise the winner that they will get married to a millionaire. Then leave them all on the island so we can get back to some decent televised fiction.

How about 16 hot girls going after one gay guy. A simple screening process will guarantee you get the kind of girls who swear they could seduce this guy and they aren't used to being ignored. They'd probably have to pay the guy to play along. Then we could always hope it's a straight guy who pulled a fast one over the network ;)

Great idea, it would turn into Lord of the Flies. :)

mine would be

Have six guys, one totally stunning supermodel

There's one six shot revolver with 5 real bullets and 1 blank, they all take it in turns pointing the revolver at their head and pulling the trigger (no barrel spinning between the guys)

The twist to the show is that there are really 6 real bullets ! so they all die !

Tommy Ceez 12-11-03 08:39 AM

Lets have one where there are 10 guys and one girl...the wist is that she CANNOT choose who wins, instead after spending time with the dudes, they do physical challenges and crap...it would be fun to watch the girl squirm when some steroid retard keeps winning challenges.

Sadly I actually don't see people dieing on live television being that far off in TV's future seeing the way our society is going.

No! I demand that the name Joe stop being used in these dating shows! Why not Tom, Dick or Harry?

Transgender Dick, it's got a nice ring to it.
