They pretty much already made that show, its called the Apprentice :p

With the glaring exception that the people who go on the Apprentice know what they're getting into, from the start. That's the piece that pisses me off.

A reality show where you know what you're getting into? No issues. Crap like this and Joe Schmoe? Dreamed up by assholes who get off on picking on others.

Isee the distinction, but as far as the whole going on, looking stupid, and ruining your career thing, I think they might rank pretty equally.

Distinction is what ranks one higher ominod October 26 2004, 07:26:57 UTC

Knowing you're going on a reality TV show with a certain set of rules and you look like an ass? Your fault. Agree in good faith to work on a film, and end up being in a TV show comprised of "behind the scenes" footage of people doing their best to make you look like an ass? NOT your fault.
