I should totally make a reality show. I bet I could pull it off too. It seems like all you need is some kind of catchy title and some useless drama between a bunch of attractive people and you've got yourself some quality television.
Now, I know that there are some reality shows that demand actual talent of their participants. So You Think You Can Dance, Project Runway, and American Idol come to mind. But other shows, like America's Next Top Model, Pretty Wicked, The Real World, just demand bitchy attractive people who can make us feel better about our significantly less dramatic lives while simultaneously giving us an excuse to drool over bitchy attractive people.
With this in mind, I think the best way to make a shit ton of money off of a reality show would be competition between bitchy attractive people that requires no actual talent. I'll also need a few D or F list celebrities desperately in need of a career revival to form a "panel of judges" and a desperate young attractive person willing to do horrible things to creepy old men to be the host.
Now, it seems like the shows that allow for the most drama are ones that are voted on by judges, and where actual people have no vote. People, being on average reasonable and at least sort of nice, will vote out anyone who's too bitchy, thus killing all the drama that's going to make me millions.
We'll call my show "The Winner: The Ultimate Challenge to be the Best." It's delectably vague; what the hell are they winning, and what the fuck are they going to be the best at? Anyway, the first episode will consist entirely of the D and F list celebrities ogling attractive people to determine which of them will provide the most useless drama while the sexy host interviews our various "contestants," all while stifling tears from the horrible, horrible things he/she was forced to do to get the job. The remaining episodes will consist almost entirely of bitchy behind-the-scenes drama, with the last 20 minutes being made up of dramatic music, commercial breaks, and the eventual elimination of the "least best" contestant.
This will make me millions.
Peace out bitches.
