Your own gameshow, what would YOU do?

    You were given as much money as you wish to create a gameshow that would work. What would you do? I would probably create something that would make contestants get physical and plenty of obstacles (to get hurt on :p ). Any other ideas?

    Something like the crystal maze, with stunts like fear factor, and opportunities to lose all your hard earned winnings, like who wants to be a millionaire and Deal or No Deal.

    For the life of me I can't think of the name of this particular show, but I'm sure it was from the UK. Supposing the prize is a car - for every question the contestants got wrong, a lump or three was walloped out of the car.

    I'd go for the same kinda extra spicey crazy gameshow like that, only maybe I would have loved ones limbs hacked off.


    :) Halo++






    Joking of course. Heh. :)

    That sounds a fantastic show, I would watch it. I would have a car behind a curtain so the family couldn't see the car until the end. "The Johnson family go home with *pulls curtain*..two head rests and a dashboard".:eek:

    I'm going mad trying to think of that show now, will have to do a bit of investigation. :)

    All I have so far is that it was on C4 Ruu. :(

    I remember this episode where if the contestants wanted to answer a question (there was a microphone somewhere each of their toilets) - they had to pee a little into their toilet, if they ran out of pee it was curtains for them. :D

    This looks like it and seems there was a couple of versions of it, now to track down an image or video clip of it. :)

    Look what I found! - Distraction

    There have been much better shows though.

    Insane. Love it. :D

    I'd have a show that involves general knowledge questions and losing items of clothing for wrong answers... no cash prizes, only big extravagant items (like boats and bondage gear) that you're not allowed to sell for at least 5 years.

    If the contestant gets so many wrong answers that they've no more clothes to take off, then for each additional wrong answer, they have to wear one in a series of increasingly hilarious hats (which they have to wear on their head and can't use to cover up with... if they try to - a group of midgets dressed as umpa loompas will come out and beat the contestant with lengths of rubber hose for an amount of time set by viewers text votes).

    Viewers can also text-vote to get rid of the really ugly or annoying contestants... when a result is reached, the contestants aren't told, a trapdoor simply opens underneath the chosen one and a series of cameras track their speedy journey down a rainbow-rapids style water-slide into the 'gunk tank', where they have to stay for the remainder of the show... in the dark... but we'll be able to see them on infrared cam.
    Make this a "Press Red" feature to have them picture-in-picture, then we're given options on how they should be tormented.

    That's about the only gameshow I'd watch anyway, all these ones nowdays are shíte.

    Oooh violence, I like it. :) The Asian gameshows are the best for that sort of stuff, the things they put some of the contestants through, cruel isn't the word!:(
