RPP TV - Proud to be the network from Hell

[Sprayman]

I understand about the video. I'm much to old to start a TV career, but I might try a .wav file.

[mothbrad]

You know, the weirdest thing - I was going to write a little piece here about a humiliating contest where women fight it out amongst each other for the chance to be a supermodel, and go through all sorts of painful and degrading tasks.  I thouggt it was a natural for the RPPstories universe. 

But I'll be darned ... there is a real show on television with that exact same concept, and it's far more humiliating for the contestants than I even thought was reasonable.  Sure, they haven't got them modelling nipple clamps and tit presses (yet), but I think I'm going to have to be a bit crueller in the future if I'm going to outpace real life reality tv.

[Quixote]

I hear you.

I'm contemplating something along the lines of "Who wants to marry a cruel sadist?"

[mothbrad]

Yeah, great idea!  Is that going to be something along the lines of 'who wants to marry a millionaire sadist"?

[Quixote]

Yup.

Or a masochist version of "Playing it Straight" would be awesome.

(In case anybody was lucky enough to miss it: a woman had to narrow down a bunch of guys, all of whom were pretending to be hetero, but only half of whom really were, and pick one.  If she picked a straight guy, they each got $500K.  If she picked a gay guy, he got the whole mil and she got nothing.)

One master.  Twenty girls.  Ten of them are actually hardcore well-trained slave masochists.  But they all pretend to be victims who are hating the tortures.  He has to find a real victim to win permanent ownership of her.  If he gets tricked and picks a masochist, she wins mucho green and he gets nothing.

That would be pretty fun.

omgoodness.. we have sat around and plotted the same type of reality show!   Im surprised that no one has done it on hbo or the sex network channel yet.

[Quixote]

I'd buy the DVD box-set.

Sounds like fun.

I apologise if, like me, you don't have a fast connection, but here's a You Tube clip of an Australian show that I would love to see a super brutal version.

Moth,

Watched the clips and agree that it has a great deal of potential. The producers are all obviously sadists already but are constrained by law and society from really testing the contestants.

for example, the contest of keeping their asses up would have been much more interesting if tackstrips were on the sand under them while brawny men flogged their asses with riding crops or canes.

[mothbrad]

I agree, Sprayman.  They got a few tears, but there could have been so much more ... 

[Emma]

Ok, I have one I think you will all appreciate.

This calls for Jabba the Hut laughter:

HO... HO... HO... HO... HA... HA... HA... HA...

[Quixote]

The Apprentice Whore.

It's like the apprentice, but the challenges are a little different.

Winner gets signed up by one of those escort services that cater only to the super-rich.

That's not so much RPP-universe as it is ten-years-from-now-on-Fox ...

"The Elevator"

Ten beautiful young contestants are placed in an elevator.  At the end of a day in their cramped confines, one of the contestants may choose to leave.  She gets given to our appreciative studio audience (well-provided with a certain erectile dysfunction drug from our sponsor), and we get to watch what they do with her during the second half of the show.  At the beginning of each new show, we do something to make the lives of the remaining contestants more miserable... Switch off the lights.  Bump up the heat fifteen degrees. Play loud, screaming death metal (or audio feed from the last half of the previous show) at random intervals.  Raise and drop the elevator by small increments at random.  Drop in refreshments, one or more servings of which are laced with unpleasantries.

It goes without saying that these afflictions will be accumulative, and that the contestants will be encouraged to do whatever is in their power to make one of their number give in (sex toys may be provided if it seems appropriate.)

It's a little like "Survivor", only without the censorship or the pretentious bullshit pretense that there's respect and education about a foreign culture being provided.

[mothbrad]

Sterling, lovely work! Are you going to write it, or am I?  (Of course, if it's me, it might take twelve years to get done ...)
