Do the Right Thing

I would like to pitch a new reality show in the vein of ABC’s True Beauty called Do the Right Thing. 

We put 10 young, beautiful people in a house together.  Then, we equip each of them with their own 9mm Smith and Wesson handgun with one bullet in the chamber.  At any point during the competition they can use it to kill any other housemate.  The show may go on for months or it may end as soon as it starts with an O.K. Corral-like shootout in the well-cameraed, Bistro-style, island kitchen.  We just don’t know but, either way, it will make great television.  Also, if they happen to develop a soul, they can “Do the Right Thing” and turn the gun on themselves.  The contestant left standing will then be given one more bullet with which he/she will “Do the Right Thing”…and use on me.

I quit.

    Dylan,

    Are you ok? I see you’ve posted on Windchill, so you’re still with us. The I quit part and turning the bullet on you is a bit frightening. Other than that, let’s make some popcorn!

    Happy 2009!

    I’m fine. Just a little hyperbole, that’s all. Although, I really would like to see a reality show where everyone is armed. I’d say we’re about 5 years from Thunderdome and Running Man so let’s just cut to the chase…with popcorn.
