Reality Bit!

July 21st 2008 15:34

Congratulations to Terri for her well deserved 250 thousand dollar win on Big Brother tonight. I personally thought she didn't stand a chance against Rory who seemed to fit the demographic for voters. Surely the majority of 15 year old girls who do most of the voting would find him more appealing than a 52 year old, Pauline Hanson loving grandma from Sydney! Nevertheless it seems her down-to-earth nature and ability to gel with the younger housemates found her a place in the hearts of many young voters. Her time there was definitely a challenge and it's good to see such a large amount of money going to someone who really needs it and not someone who needed a boob job, a new car or a massive piss-up.

The demise of Big Brother will certainly leave a chasm in the hearts of many prospective participants and voyeurs. Regardless of what the critics and government say, Big Brother was a milestone for Australian television and provided society with a mirror in which it could measure and influence current trends and values. They say they are only 'resting' the show, but how many times have you heard that? I'm still waiting for the return of David Tench and Automan!
So where to from here? Surely there is still a huge market for corny, reality shows built on a ridiculous premise. If it is just a question of ideas, i have a couple which could perhaps be the next big thing.
Crocodile Crazee - Based on Crocodile Dundee, the premise would see a young man from the bush transported over to New York City to see how he survives, equipped with only a big knife. Good luck!!

This next one could be considered in bad taste, but what reality show doesn't dabble in it at one time or another?
Sink or Swim - Send several couples on a boat trip out to the Great Barrier Reef...and leave them there. Armed with only a snorkel, mask and flippers, the first couple to make it back to the beach alive, wins!

I'd watch. Would i be the only one?
