What's Your Angle?

This is what Mark and I talk about after the child goes to bed. Can we predict what the next reality TV show will be?

Perhaps a revenge show. They recruit the A-team for the cast. They would, each week, seek out injustices and make them right. Been jilted? Call the A-team. They go to your loser's house and pretend to be a redecorating show. Loser goes out for some coffee and returns to find his abode turned into a wild west, cow hide, dude ranch in purple and red velvet. "I love it when a plan comes together." Yeah!

Or reverse make-overs. You take a well-groomed business type and turn her into the tramp on the corner. Oh, wait. I think that show exists all ready.

Celebrity eating competions. B-list actors see who can eat the most in a given time period.

You know "Trading Spouses...how about "Trading Churches." You get devote people from one religion to attend church/temple/rituals of another religion. Record their reactions and their follies. Get them involved with a committee.

Oh, I know! How about "Gene Simmons Rock School!" You get Gene Simmons (of Kiss, you hermit) to teach a bunch of rich, parochial school classic music students how to be a kick-ass rock band... what? That one exists already, too.

What is your prediction? What show would you make?
