One of the guys interviewed on 20/20 imagined it would be like gladiator where people/fans thumbs up and
thumbs down characters. I thought at the time, what an idiot, and I still think that.* The dude's been playing
too many video games.

I wonder how many viewers are female to male ratio.* Have they decided on the male leads and female leads
yet? or is this a roulette game? or voting off like survivor? a two headed show, reality tV and drama meet and
merge? it won't work. People will get bored and move on. Fans like solid steady characters. Programs that
last don't lose characters. Connections are made; legends are created. Shows that retire popular have the
same people in them, all through TV history. They sizzle with the characters they begin with, they fizzle when
characters leave the show.

Maybe the writers need to sit down with a psychiatrist to understand human nature rather than figuring out
the instruction on the next play station game.
