FTSF is here. Today's sentence is:
When it comes to reality TV shows, I am a dolt since I don't quite understand why these people in the show leave their "normal" life and try to mimic a scripted life on screen and portray that it is theirs.
If it had been a show such as Bold and the Beautiful or the Young and the Restless, I would understand that the characters are playing specific roles. But, seriously coming to a show where you try to show that your life in reality is that scripted form.
And surprisingly such shows are a mega hit, which concludes that it brings in a lot of dough to the producers. Money is the king!
How about putting my thoughts about Reality TV on the sideline and create an outline on how to start a reality TV show? I am sure I will gather enough funds for my retirement, and make unemployed people stars of the century.
1. Pick a bunch of unemployed people from the employment center. Make sure they bring in their families too. There should be a couple of kids who are smart to understand the directions such as when to cry and when to laugh.
2. Rent camera and their handy dandy stuff needed to shoot and employ some of the unemployed people to work behind it when, not in the show. After all these guys just have to point and shoot, when someone talks or laughs.
3.Make your own home as your TV Set. All the actors are in custody and do not leave that home until they are kicked out by polls, which would occur every week.
4. Ask the unemployed people to talk or walk or act really strange in that home. Some can even curse or strip to get attention. The more stranger they behave, the more time they get to stay in that home.
5. Time it for 2 months. Kick everyone out of the house until one remains. Finish the production.
6. Market your Show as one of the wackiest ever seen while advertising the weirdest moments of the actors.
7. Voila, it will have a buyer in no time.
8. Aired on television, and before you know it; you will be asked to shoot more of such shows.
There, your future is bright!
Mantra for today: When opportunity knocks, grab it.

Ruchira, this was too funny and will say that you are probably onto something here and better get on this before someone steals your million dollar idea :) Seriously awesome post and thanks as always for linking up. I voted as always!!
That's pure genius Ruchira! I say you send your idea to some producer right away.
Great concept! I really, REALLY love the mantra for today!
When opportunity knocks, INDEED grab it. Hehe.
Oh my gosh - this is PERFECT. We should all get ready and start filming now because I think you found the secret. Especially telling people to act weird and they get to stay in the house longer. Love it! :)
Ruchira - Careful lady! Remember, I was recently unemployed for quite some time! lol Actually, you need to find a low paying job that only an idiot would do and then you have both the contractual pay and topic both taken care of! I'm awaiting the next one, "Garbage Collectors of the Deep South" next. I hear it's going to be a winner! lol Great post!
Didn't they already do that one? It sounds awfully familiar...haha!
I think what has always confused me is that most of these people seem too stupid to be good enough actors, for the show not to have a substantial element of reality. I'm sure the producers set things up for certain storylines, but some of the stuff that happens I just can't see the people acting out on cue.
Great idea for a reality show. Some of them are quite bizarre and I don't see how they stay on the air. Yours sounds like it would be really entertaining.
Wow, Ruchira! I'm with the majority here....I saw get going and pitch this idea. Awesome stuff! :)
