The concept in itself seems good, but it just doesn’t quite work, especially not with the constant cameras.

There was a reality show in I think the Netherlands a while back in which several dying women were competiting for one woman’s organs or bonemarrow. It was later discovered to be fake, but just the idea is sickening.

The kid coming out of the crapper serves to illustrate the point.
Do you remember “Who’s your Daddy?”
It was a program where an adopted woman is given a chance to pick her birth father from three contestants (one of which was her actual father, obviously)
I had an interest in the show because I’m adopted myself, but jeeppers, isn’t anything sacred and private anymore?
Great call on Kid Nation.
Lord of the Flies for the new millenium? Ayup.
