How "Reality" TV Producers Think

Idea/Premise:   A program that puts celebrities who are under the influence of drugs/alcohol on the world stage. Making absolute spectacles of people’s everyday lives is the ideal way to guarantee air time on every medium that would carry us. More so, if nothing happens to these celebrities while the crew films in secret, such situations MUST be fabricated in order to assure constant action that will keep our drooling audience subconsciously craving for more.

Target Audience: Typical fluoride drinking teenagers and those who consume high fructose corn syrup en masse would absolutely love our program whether want too or not. While our main demographic appeals to 12 to 25, we also plan in to reel in the older populations by portioning celebrities that even their generations will remember. Drug users and alcoholics will be fascinated. In state run education lazy teachers will even be able to show these episodes to the class to discourage drug abuse.

Characters: Our two hosts, named Chad and Lexi are complete fakes. We will offer compensation to two low budget actors that are willing to go through plastic surgery to look like incredibly fake superficial gods that nobody will ever be able to relate too. After we give them face lifts, breast implants, muscle implants, ect; On the other side of the fence we have a 200 pound African American male named Jaymal who sets up traps and situations for our unwitting drunk targets.

Casting: Through backroom deals with managers we will know the whereabouts of said celebrity and their agenda. We will move quick to put our plans into action.

Setting: Usually in a bar setting, but where ever our adventures and advertisers take us. From New York to California we are on the tail. We expect situations in bars and clubs to spill out into the street and move out from there.

Appeal to the viewers: People will want to watch this show for two reasons. First off, people have some sort of inane fascination with celebrities and the rich life. Other people honestly could not give a hoot about these people but will enjoy watching because they want to see the ones they hate make fools of themselves.

Budget per episode:   10k – 50k

Budget Justification: The small prices for video and audio recording equipment are the bulk of what operating this show will cost. Other fair slices of cash will go towards transportation by air, drugs and alcohol, backroom deals and editing the final products and putting them together for public consumption.

The Hook: Millions of people will enjoy being lazy watching rich and powerful people stoop to low levels and be at their worst. This show will truly bring out the worst in human nature; but for the better. The greed of some people is disgusting, and using this logic we must appeal to disgusting people. The “low IQ’ers” that we have hooked to the television set will undeniably buy into our programming because we have done this a thousand of times before.
