You can't keep any of the cash for yourself. what sort of game show do you make? I’m not sure how you would make good television out of it (a lot of editing, I suppose), but cooking challenge shows are a guilty pleasure (with a side order of Blown Away). I’d like to translate that format into a miniature wargaming elimination, where teams of painters, terrain builders, scenario designers, and rules writers compete to put on an amazing miniature wargame. Realistically, each challenge would be measure in weeks rather than hours, so you’d probably have to replace competitors’ salaries to get them to sign up, and that would go through your budget in short order. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I live it's an absolute necessity. I drive about 40 miles/ 60km a day back and forth to the farm. A lot of my business and medical things are in a town about double that distance in the opposite direction. It's not unusual to travel 1000+ km in a week for things. Price of getting to live in the hills away from the citified hordes. 1 hour ago, Werkrobotwerk said: May 11, You need to get rid of a pile of money by making a game show.

You can't keep any of the cash for yourself. what sort of game show do you make? I'm not entirely sure why I'm trying to get rid of a large pile of money; this is diametrically opposed to what my normal inclination would be. So, in the interest of making this game show as profitable as possible, it's going to need to be interesting and exciting. First off, all contestants are going to have to sign waivers; there will be a physical portion and people will likely get injured. There will be a trivia/intelligence test/reasoning part of the show; not only does this test mental abilities, it will help to weed out people from the second part which will have physical challenges. (Sometimes, you should stop and think before trying to muscle your way through a problem.) The physical portion will be a combination of American Ninja Warrior, Survivor, and the Amazing Race, but not scripted like those are, and without the BS social nonsense (nobody gets voted off). With real ninjas. And land mines. 2 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put together a game show about contestants putting together a better game show, with the winner getting the money while I get the rights to the new shows. Low effort and high reward on my part. 2 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted May 11 Moderator Share Posted May 11 I'm a fan of "Forged in Fire" and "Chopped". I would like to see that format in a mini sculpting show, "Sculpted in Putty" or maybe "Sculpted in Pixels". Been thinking of how we could adapt this and run it as a ReaperCon show that I could pitch to Ron as an event. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly, the last thing the world needs is another game show. Wait! OK, this is genius. We’ll have one where the audience votes things off… It'll be called Last Game Standing and the audience will have to choose which other Game Show gets voted off the air !! Each. Week. I really think this has potential. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are given the opportunity to scavenge goods--mostly junk--from across the island prison, which they must use to escape. Contestants can reinact historical prison breaks and can act independently or together. Each season will have extra challenges and bonuses, like "bribe the guards", "laundry detail", "island ferry" and such. It would probably be more of a reality show. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love driving for pleasure, like a leisurely drive on a rural road or over to the coast, but I don’t get to do that very often. Since I generally work from home and take public transit on days I go into the office, I rarely get to drive at all! 16 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: May 11, You need to get rid of a pile of money by making a game show.

Based on a real-life event I witnessed: An egg hunt, but the eggs contain valuable prizes (cash, jewelry, keys to new cars) and the contestants are all adults. Have them sign legal waivers, then film the resulting brawls from every possible angle. Somebody’s going to get trampled! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some areas we have racoons, but I prefer the coyotes and foxes myself. Or that one deer that was waiting at a crosswalk... 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
