  • New game show "Urban Survivor"

    I'd like to create a new reality show focused on surviving in the US. It would be modelled somewhat after a combination of Survivor and The Apprentice. The idea would be to get 12 candidates with a chance to win $1M and become the sole Urban Survivor.

    Each candidate would be dropped into a US city with nothing, but the clothes on their back. They cannot contact anyone they know and they each will be given a shelter in a park made out of cardboard to start the game. Their goal is to accumulate the most wealth possible in 3 months time.

    After each week, the amount of money they have in a tin can will be multiplied by 52 as if it were a full year's worth of work. And, they have an option to buy luxury items with their loot equivalent to 1 year's worth of funds for that week including shelter, luxury items, and other assets with an expected life of 1 year or more.

    The person with the most wealth at the end of the 3 months is the Sole Urban Survivor.

    People don't get voted off each week. They can vote themselves off if they like.

    I want this show because it will show to the world how creative people will get to survive when there ins't a social safety net. We will be astounded at what people come up with. And, maybe a few viewers will learn how to achieve the American Dream.

    Jim I moved your thread to the Tub, It might also belong in the TV section. I was not sure where to move it to but I felt it did not belong in the political forum. if you disagree I will move it back. BTW the thread will get more exposure here.

    Didnt Eddie Murphy make a Movie about him being a Bum and then 2 rich guys make a bet and make him run a stock exchange company. Then they take it all away again. Somewhere near the end the 2 rich guys ended up broke and were living out of a box.

        I went looking for the movie I was talking about in my above post. but found Coming to America. Which was about a King or Prince that went looking for a bride. He became like a New yorker and had to work at a Hamburger place. Which BTW is Wendy's on Queens BLVD not far from my house as I recalled when the movie was made. I had a ball looking at some of these clips from that movie.

          Thank you that's it.

          The first clip is about 7min but it shows how he turned things around. I could not find the clip of the 2 rich guys living out of the box. I believe they took that to another movie. I just can't recall the movie they added it to.

            Funny you mention "Coming to America". He wants to pretend to be a poor guy and throw the money to 2 old white guys that lived in a box.
