Naked And Afraid

Good Morning America says it is the most 'real' reality show ever aired...it premiers this Sunday June 23 on Discovery Channel.
Two strangers have to survive 3 weeks in a remote area and provide everything they need from the land...water, fire, clothing, shelter. I'm not a fan of reality programming but this one could be interesting.

What say ye?
 
I am currently casting for a reality show that requires contestants to be reduced to complex amino acids and left in a solution with occasional exposure to electrical charge. First to recreate the entire written works of Shakespeare wins.

Should be a helluva good show.

Lol, what's the show called? 'double double toil and trouble, fire burn and petridish bubble'?
 
In the subways theres posters for two new shows
Bayou eskimos and knitting wars
They look 100% real and I wouldnt be suprised if they were. If you read close they say "the fact that you thought this was real shows the stste of television"

That's a cool ad. I feel them. A lot of the times I can't tell if the tvpeople are kidding anymore. They promote some horribly vapid show straight out of a dystopian nightmare and I keep waiting for them to go 'psyche! Of course that's not real! You must've been deprived of oxygen at some point in your development if you thought this was real! Ha ha!'.

But it's always real.

Who made those posters?
 
"reality" tv is still scripted. There's no way the network execs could take chances like that. These guys aren't going to be allowed to die, become sick, get attacked by an animal, or anything that would result in a lawsuit no matter what the commercials allude to. It's more drivel. I hate hate HATE tv.
