Design and pitch a new reality TV show!

Real Life Politics - Is what my reality show would be called.

My idea would happen every 5 years or whenever there is a big election like what is heading our way in the UK very soon where the main players in each political party (I mean the majority of the government front bench and the PM etc) each must spend one month (built into the election timetable) life swapping with someone in the area they will be in charge of, so for example who ever is the minister for health (or potential minister for health if their party wins) will be working in the NHS for 1 month, and followed everywhere with cameras.

Now the PM has a special placement which will be voted on by the public before the show starts, so it could be something like they must live off benefits for 1 month and see how much of a struggle life can be for some people whilst attending local support services for example.

Not only would this break records as everyone would want to see what the people they are voting for are really like and i am sure they would break character during a full month of being watched, they would be thrust into the public sphere and a world which i think they have no clue about, they seem to live in a bubble and not in reality. Also the beneficial outcome of completing this show that they should be more well rounded and realise the world they are trying to run/ help / serve.

Also the public gets to vote on their favourite candidates at the end of the month and this will impact the funds which the political party receives for spending on campaigning for 2 months before the election as all funds received by all parties goes into a central pot which is then divided up based on candidates performance in this show as decided by the public and not just given to whatever party receives the donation initially.

This would be a massive shift and really change the landscape of politics for the better i hope!

Clumsy Challenge: Slowest Wins

Format:

"Clumsy Challenge: Slowest Wins" is a reality TV show that flips the concept of obstacle courses on its head. Inspired by shows like "American Ninja Warrior" but with a twist, teams of two compete in obstacle challenges designed to test their coordination, balance, and speed. However, the goal isn't to finish first but to navigate the course as slowly as possible without stalling or making it obvious that they're faking it. Teams must demonstrate clumsiness and poor acrobatic moves, making for hilarious and unpredictable entertainment.

Potential Twists:

Penalty Points - Teams that appear to be intentionally stalling will receive penalty points, adding an extra layer of strategy.

Audience Choice - Viewers can vote on additional challenges or obstacles to be added to the course in real-time, increasing the unpredictability.

Appeal:

"Clumsy Challenge: Slowest Wins" offers a fresh and comedic take on the traditional obstacle course format. The show will attract viewers with its blend of physical comedy, unexpected twists, and the unique challenge of performing poorly while still making progress. It’s perfect for families and fans of light-hearted competition, ensuring a broad audience appeal and plenty of laughs. it will be a magnet for "Fail Army" lowers!

The Keymaster

10 contestants battle it out in a series of daily physical and mental challenges over the course of 3 weeks to either win keys or or steal keys from other contestants but only one key will unlock the door to the grand prize both a game of skill and chance the more keys you have the better the chance of unlocking the door. The audience can also vote to give for a contestant to give them a chance to earn bonus keys

Who will become the Keymaster.

I think it would work because it has the element of the audience being able to follow their favourite person and get behind them. The more involved the audience get with the progression of the contestants the better.

I love this:

My idea would be putting people in other peoples lives so jobs, hobbies and parenting i think it would be good because then the term "take a walk in the other persons shoes" would become a real thing this would keep people more mindful of what other people are going through and we do it for about a month in each others shoes so they can get a real taste for what the other persons life would be like and of course if you complete it a massive cash sum for both participants .

Right, how about this for a Channel 4 or Five show, Pet Paradise.

It’s the gentle style of something like Shed of the Year or The Repair Shop, but this is about people who’ve built these epic areas and spaces for their pets. Like, imagine a 3 storey dog house complete with tennis court. The biggest gerbil maze you ever saw. A garden transformed into a cat’s playground with ledges and tunnels galore.

I’m sure there’ll be some people out there who’ve built some amazing spaces for their pets, and I’d be curious to watch it. I’ve seen worse things on tele! 😅
