Reality shows are a big hit in our country, and for the most part, they are entertaining. I have an idea for a reality show starring athletes with tremendous potential but poor judgment.
The concept is that the group lives in seclusion together and must prevent each other from making stupid decisions, which will tempt them daily. When they make the right choice, they get food. People will tune in to watch the super egos try to avoid the pitfalls of bad decisions in order to survive.
The first season’s contestants would be Michael Vick, Dennis Rodman, Alex Rodriguez, and Plaxico Burress. The show’s host will be Pete Rose.
Day One will be easy. They will be given the choice of investing their signing bonus money into a 3% interest savings account or into Bernie Madoff’s guaranteed Double Your Money account.
Day Two will introduce them to a litter of puppies abandoned by their mother and some feeding bottles of formula.
On Day Three, they awake to find boxes of performance enhancing drugs and vials of clean urine and blood to use if tested.
The challenge on Day Four is a fun one. A fully stocked mini-bar is brought into the house. So are the keys to a Bentley and weapons that can be easily concealed.
Day Five brings them to Las Vegas to Sports Bet.
By Day Six, they are hostile and turning on one another, having been deprived of food for five days. The show has no host, as he disappeared in Las Vegas. It is bedlam. Given this madness, the show’s producers have no choice but to bring in The Mediator, Bobby Knight.
