Hostage!
be the last hostage alive and win $1,000,000! | |
Terrorist kidnap eight contestants at random. Everyday, the contestents pelad for their life, explaining why /they/, rather than anyone else, should be set . After they plead, the audience votes for the contestent they think should be set free. The one with the least votes is then shot. When only
one hostage is still alive, they are released, and they win the $1,000,000.

What do the terrorists get? |

[PotatoStew] Probably a parade down Main Street. |

Russian Roulette via audience participation? Only if I get to pick the hostages: Geraldo Rivera, Craig Kilborn, Joe Pesci, Shannen Doherty, Joan Rivers, Jessica Alba, Darva Conger, and Jeff Probst. |

One of the more ignorant observations that I have read on the Halfbakery |
|
| |
Yes, it's quite obvious that it should be "go over well", "go over good" is just terrible English. |
|
| |
...and the point of trawling up this drivel
from the Bakery cellar was? |
|
| |
//One of the more ignorant observations that I have read on the Halfbakery// I simply picked those two examples as governments with less than stellar human rights records. excuse my ignorance. |
|
| |
So, when you said "Cuba" you meant "Guantanamo"? |
|
| |
I am not about to excuse the ignorant comment because this is not about Governments.
I don't think that ANY human individual takes gratification in suffering, torture and murder of another human being - much less when it is a TV Show. That said, if you were to look for that sort of behaviour then a reality TV audience isn't a bad place to start.
BTW I didn't accuse you of ignorance, I merely described the comment as ignorant. |

I wonder why Big Brother was once so popular. |
|
| |
Yup, That's why I kind of qualified the statement! |
|
| |
//the one with the least votes is then
shot.// |
|
| |
The one with the 'fewest' votes surely? |
