I'm sure we're all internet junkies enough to know who Chris Crocker is. For those who don't:

Pretty much, whiney little kid who cried over Britney Spears because people bashed her performance at the VMAs. And yes that is a dude btw.

Now, he gets his own reality TV show...

What... what is this world coming to?

See, but I can put that reality show into something even YOU would watch - force the guy to wear the same clothing Britney wears on a daily basis, and then add Michael Jackson to the mix.  And don't let them leave the room.

Andy, you are a sick man.  Now can you design a reality show even *I* would watch?  (Good luck with this one ...)

Ooh, a challenge:

"Surviver: Hell"  Three dozen normal people on an island.  And not just a normal island, but one of those crappy islands where there's plantlife but nothing edible.  And as for people, the computer guy, a lawyer, the insurance salesman no one talks to, the fashion model, etc.  Put hidden cameras all over the place.  Leave.  And I mean, really leave, don't just leave camera guys and fake it.  Disapear completely, leaving them with no supplies, no water, no food, and no hope.

Wait four weeks, come back to discover who HASN'T resorted to canibalism, and put it all on the air, claiming it's an experiment in "social de-engineering."  Put it all into hour long blocks that are NOT episodic, but represent a "day."  Probably go down to two days an episode as people start dying.  Then bring them all back to the states and have the ones that made it tried for murder.  Air that as some kind of feature TV movie.

Ranks right up there with Pay-Per-View state executions.

"This convicted serial killer's death is sponsored by PSE&G."

May well get viewership.  I won't be one of them.  (I *might* be one of the people picketing the network that airs it.)

Zero might watch, now ... but in this case, Linda is the target audience.

(And Linda has just thought of up a quasi-reality show that might work.  So it can be done.  Care to try again?)

A college on the West Coast (I think it was UCSB) tried something like that as a psych experiment, but with a small deserted town.

It took 36 hours to turn into "Lord of the Flies: College Student Edition^tm"

I see I'm in NO danger of being drawn back to the television from you people!

A show in which the folks behind Quantum are subjected to various contrived but humorous situations and, one by one, voted off. Then executed. The last one standing gets to man the support line. For the rest of his life.

Good try.  But some of them are friends of mine.  Next!
