(S7) - PT 5 - Reality Shows

[Oles]

Requirements

Written: Must include 200 words. Reality shows are a major TV sensation. Whether it's watching idiots drinking and making a fool of themselves, seeing drama (which is most likely fake), or shows like Amercain Idol, The Voice, and other game shows with real world implications, there is always something that people enjoy that isn't quite the same as a TV show/movie. Your player has been chosen to participate in one of these. Write about your appearance on the show.

Graphic: Create a graphic of your player on the show. Include your render, and something that is a basis of the show. If you go on American Idol, this would mean putting yourself on the stage singing.

Full Payout = 3 TPE

Do not claim this TPE until a post is made in the claim thread.

Deadline
Saturday, May 12th, 11:59 PM PST

Viggo Squanch has definitely been dragged kicking and screaming to portray himself on this stupid reality TV show. I'm hoping it doesn't end up having his name in the title "ala The Cromarties" because that'll just stay on the internet forever and he doesn't need that.

Squanch is honestly a really quiet and personal guy. It's not about being flashy or out there in the news, it's about being surrounded with good people, having a good time, and living a good life. So the Squanch you'll see on TV is likely going to be just that. You'll see Squanch playing video games, reading books, and enjoying well made food. Don't plan on seeing him out at a lot of the parties, unless here's there to drink expensive whiskey or scotch and just hang out. There's very little drama in his life, so I don't get why the producers would want to bother bringing him onto the show. It seems like a bad idea to be honest.

I'm just glad he's getting paid for it because it's basically going to be Squanch doing his daily thing but with cameras on him, and getting paid a lot. Better focus on not picking his nose so much. Should be lucrative, but stupid.

Paul DiMirio went on to Celebrity Jeopardy once and won the game, winning $50,000 to donate to cancer research. Since he won the game so convincingly, $45,600 to $3,800 to $1,000 (Jayce Tuck only got 1 question right, even with his multis assisting him), that he was selected to participate on the real Jeopardy game show. One of the contestants he faced, named Sue, was a college professor with a husband and two kids. She was in her 50s, and a normal person. The other competitor, named Sua, was an elementary school professor. He had a wife and two kids. He was in his 40s and a normal person.

Paul DiMirio wasn't exactly a normal person, but it didn't really matter. Since both contestants were in the greater Philly area, they recognized the NSFL's all time leading dropper, and let him have the game, which irked Paul. Paul asked Alex Trebek to put to Baltimore residents on the next show. He won that game, albeit closely.

Paul DiMirio is considering retiring to become a professional Jeopardy player. He likes that it's less dangerous than football. Paul says he's surprised he still remembers all of these random facts. Sue and Sua were surprised as well, but Paul didn't care.

He is debating whether to continue football or Jeopardy and is very unsure at this point.

Kevin Fitzpatrick and a group of other draftees (most of them no names) will be participating in a week-long combination of thorough scouting combine and reality show directed by the same team responsible for HBO’s Hard Knocks. The crew will follow the rookie prospects through running challenges, starting with combine-specific events like the 40 yard dash, and progressing to obstacle courses a la American Ninja. For strength, the group will begin, once again, with the straightforward event, the bench press, but by the end of the segment will be competing in World’s Strongest Man style events. Finally, the remaining contestants will compete in position-specific drills. QBs like Fitzpatrick will begin with trashcan tosses (where he lost to some scrub with a big arm), to scrambling drills, to the hardest QB challenge of all: completing a pass to Paul DiMirio without him dropping it (Sorry @124715, I just read your PT and had to piggy-back on it). Each day, the person lowest in points got removed, and the overall winner gets an endorsement deal. Fitzpatrick placed first among QBs, but was nowhere near the top of the list thanks to some of the more athletic positions, which, for some reason, included punter. Why are punters in so much better shape than kickers?

Chad Pennington was chosen to appear on American Idol. Unfortunately, things did not go as the producer had planned. Most judges are able to actually give a good judgment on how the contestants sing, but Chad has never sang in a choir or competitively before. Chad is also a really nice guy, so instead of ruining people's days by giving his real opinions on the singers he just told everyone that they did a really good job and gave everyone a thumbs up. The other judges started getting really annoyed with this, but Chad kept giving a thumbs up to the singers and clapping despite some of them being completely tone deaf. Eventually the producer told Chad that the show was over and to go enjoy the buffet that was prepared for the judges. In actuality they continued seeing contestants while Chad enjoyed a big and free meal. Chad knew that the show wasn't over, but he had been so tired of hearing the other judges berate the people trying so hard to impress them so he just enjoyed the turkey legs and fruits that had been laid out for him and didn't question it. A camera came into the room and filmed him while he ate, but he didn't really pay attention to it. Chad isn't one for being in the spotlight.

If Brock Weathers were to be chosen to be on or have a reality TV show created around him, it would almost certainly involve massive amount of food and/or speed eating. From the earliest age he can remember he has always ate extremely fast and in large amounts. He never really thought it was a thing and that it was just in people's heads that he ate fast, but when he was always the first one done with his food and everyone else is sitting there with full plates looking at him like he's a crazy person, he too started to notice. When he would go to a restaurant and order a burger he'd be done with it and all his sides before the waiter came back to ask how it was (we all know these people come and ask before anyone has even had a single bite.....or more infuriatingly while that first bite is in the mouths of the people). I think this would also be a fun interesting show that'd be far better than Douchey McDoucheface who was on Man vs. Food or other similar shows because he actually has a fun personality people want to be around and would much less want to punch in the face.....but then again that might be some of drawing appeal. Plus, let's not forget Brock is a dude who works out like crazy and isn't just some dumb fat schlub out there, just a cool dude being a dude.

I generally keep my television appearances pretty well-tailored to create the image that I think is best for my team and myself. Despite the silliness of the Fox Fiasco (that is still ongoing, by the way), I only allow my image to be used for good: charities, fundraising for good causes, public service announcements, that sort of thing. But now I have a new opportunity to break out of that shell, and I think it’s one that will surprise a lot of people.

I’ve been approached to take a turn as The Bachelor. That’s right; being a young, single dude with lots of money and no relationship has caught the attention of the bloodthirsty executives over at ABC, and they’ve decided that I would be a good schill to make their next million off of. And I’m going to do it. I’ll do it with my eyes wide open to the exploitation of myself and these women in order to get my message out there. I can make sure that watchers leave knowing a little more about the world than they did when the show began. And, hey, if I’m lucky, maybe I’ll find a like minded lady to settle down with.

Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay is one of my favorite reality shows. Here's how it goes, I don't own the restaurant, I don't want to. I worked in one and food service sucks. So I'm just a(n) (un)lucky customer of a nice looking Italian restaurant. I've eaten here before and it's okay, but I stopped coming because bad service and a decline in food quality.

Fast forward a year later and I see a paper ad asking people to come eat for free at the Italian place for a TV show, but they don't guarantee anything. I show up, it's packed. Food is barely coming out and Ramsay is yelling his head off as camera crews follow him around.

He recognizes me as the star receiver of the Pythons and cooks me a special dish while apologizing for the bad service. He looks me in the eyes and says that I have beautiful blue eyes, my girlfriend is jealous. She still hasn't gotten food and tries to take some of mine. Ramsay smacks her hand and says, "Not today toots." She's mad now and Ramsay is wanting me to come back to his house.

Okay things are getting weird, I thank him for the meal then we leave. She says she's hungry so I ask where she wants to eat and she says, "I don't know, you decide."
