I saw this new commercial for a new FOX show to come on the air.

I forgot the name, but the prize is 1.5M$

How to win:
I think 15 ppl go into a room, and to win the 1.5M everyone has to decide for 1 person to get the money.

I just remember the name had a 1 in it instead of an I.

can anyone try to find the name please
and any comments on the show?
 
That actually sounds really cool....but if it's like other reality shows it'll suck. :(

Hopefully it's done well and is without too too much BS, I'd like to watch it.

Depending on the specific people in there, I think the best strategy would be to be quiet, friendly and never refer to the money. Never ever suggest that you yourself should get the money, and don't try to discredit other people....just be nice to everyone and stay away from the topic of money. As long as your presence is known, people will notice. :p



Yes I'm a scheming bastard. :D

Wow that might work. I for example would give the money to someone who is quite and friendly then to someone who gives me 20 reasons why he should get it.
 
But I think most people would have that strategy and the show will be full of these phoney quiet people who are boring as hell to watch. In other words, it'll be like Big Brother, except the people try to NOT be annoying.

and there will be lots of "poor me" liars.
 
I might even watch that, if it isnt crammed with BS like most other reality TV shows :p. This would be the first reality tv show that Ive ever watched If i did watch it.

I think it'll actually be full of really fracking stupid people who are the real life equivalent of this: "OMGZZZ i NeEd TEh MoNEy iT iS TEH IMPoRRTANZ tO MEE!!!!!1"

Though I could be wrong. ;)

^^So get 12 NYC investment bankers into one room, I guess.

I don't see 12 i-bankers squabbling over that money ... I would guess that combined they could earn that kind of cash rather quickly without being on TV ;)
 
I saw an episode last week, and it seemed interesting, but mostly it just seemed like it was just another way to show how greedy people can be....
 
Here would be the greatest reality show ever:

Get 10 network execs and lock them into a room. Tell them they can not leave the room until the come up with a completely original idea for a TV show. This thing would go on for like 25 seasons.

In one sentence you epitomized my thoughts on reality television.
