New Reality Show: Unan1mous - 03/22/06
 

In a dramatic new television experiment, a diverse group of nine strangers are locked in a bunker, where they’ll remain until they decide who is worthy of a 1.5-million-dollar cash prize.

There is a catch, though, because the longer it takes to make a unanimous decision, the less money there will be to win. If they take too long, they will be left with nothing.

Upon entering their isolated living quarters, the nine contestants are cut off from the outside world, locked away, and presented the opportunity to win $1.5 million. The only thing standing between them and the money is a simple vote. If they are able to come to a unanimous decision about who should win the money, the game is over. If the outcome of the vote is not unanimous, the money clock is activated and the cash prize begins its countdown with potentially thousands of dollars lost every hour until the next voting period.

In every episode, each of the nine contestants, who include a minister, an atheist, a ladies’ man and a feminist, must convince the others to vote only for him or her. Before the vote, personal facts, secrets and lies are revealed, perhaps helping them decide who should receive the money. As the game progresses, contestants will be eliminated from winning the cash prize, but – in a television first – they will continue to live in the bunker and will continue to vote.

Will contestants’ greed for the money outweigh their desire to help someone potentially less fortunate than themselves? Who will lie and connive, and who will be truthful and sincere? No matter what, the final vote must be UNAN1MOUS.
Could be interesting or really boring, depending on the cast. Starts March 22 on Fox.

If they're smart, they just draw straws in the first minute they are there.

They should immediately put their names in a hat and draw one out. That's a 1 in 9 chance and it totally screws over Fox.

I'm sure they are told that that is against the rules of the game before they start.

If I were in there, there would be no way I would vote for anyone but myself. If I don't win, no one does.

If I was down there, I would offer to split the money evenly with everyone. 1.5 million split 9 ways is around $166,666 each before taxes.

And then everyone else would proceed to beat you down for not reading the rules regarding reward sharing before you got down there.

Charlie Goose 03-06-06 05:53 AM

So, what is the motivation to vote for someone other than yourself?

Can they really enforce what you do or don't do with the money once it is yours?

Probably if you sign a legal contract.

raven56706 03-06-06 09:23 AM

Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. 03-06-06 10:16 AM

I don't really get the point of this show if they can't share the money. Sounds boooooooooring.
