Whilst not a thread describing what new reality shows are possible, but more an observation of the 'standardised' formating that seems to emerging in the 'raw' reality genre, especially the new ones from the states that are hitting our shores now...
RULE 1: If there is a judging panel. in you panel of judges you must have a Simoel Cowel imitator. (ie. typically crusty english guy who gets by on oboxious comments, justified on the basis of the well, heys its the truth and if you can't handle it you shouldn't be in the business.)
RULE 2: Other judges must include the touchy feely nice girl and the swing(ing) judge, who should be from an ethnic minority.
RULE 3: The compare must also be english (or atleast psuedo upper class), blonde, long legs and big..... personalities. In some shows it appears that a bloody big mole on the face is an asset...
RULE 4: Sex, sex and more sex, or atleast the illusion of sex sex and more sex, especially during commericals advertising the show. Not that you get to see any.... that would offend viewer sensibilities tooo much
RULE 5: During any juding phase of the show, especially one where there are partners involved, the contestants should act like they have style and grace (eg: leading a woman on your arm the judging arena), even though the contestants themselves during the actual show put most red-necks to shame...
Still, if I had my choice for a reality show, i would say reopen the arena in Rome, and have the worlds politicians fit it out there to solve issues. Much more effective than the UN....
