Goth, in which emo/punk/cthlulhu-worshiping/whatever subculture try to out-weird each other. Each week they introduce a completely innocent topic and the contestants have to come up with a speech about how they view it. Repeat until the winner is chosen.

Haunted House, in which people aged 20-40 are locked in a house and a team of Disney Imagineers invoke visual effects of absolutely horrific to get them to leave the house. The last person standing and sane wins.

Monopoly, on a life-sized board, without any unusual rule changes. The players are not allowed to leave whatever square they're currently on, but they can use a phone to communicate with the other players.

At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...

A game based on Monopoly that involves running around Atlantic City trying to busk money.

Between all the recent publicity for The Hunger Games and current events about policing copyright on the Internet, I've somehow conjured up a terribly, horribly evil idea. So with tongue firmly in cheek, I present a new pitch:

Title: Saw: Corruption

Premise: Saw played for real with infamously Corrupt Politicians and Corrupt Corporate Executives. All the moral depravity of reality TV targeted at people who have actually done something to deserve it!

The pilot can be a SOPA Edition, with "players" such as Lamar Smith (the moron who introduced the bill), Chris Dodd (MPAA CEO who, among many, MANY other things, publicly admitted to bribery while simultaneously threatening politicians whom they couldn't buy), and Cary Sherman (CEO of the RIAA, which somehow manages to have an even longer rap sheet than the MPAA and Bernie Madoff combined). In place of that Jigsaw puppet can be one dressed like a pirate. And I mean the Jack Sparrow kind of pirate.

And if we ever capture another evil dictator alive, we'll have a much more entertaining execution method: Just have them play a game that results in instant death for failure, and rig the game so they can't win.

Put a bunch of Fangirls and Fanboys in a boarding school type of scenario, with different dorms for different fandoms. Give them challenges to complete, based on their fandom, and see who can out-crazy each other.

As ways of finding out you're an alien go, fob watches are cheaper than the Church of Happyology.

I got two: Survivor Iraq (or North Korea, any real strife ridden place really) and Jackass where they tape drugs onto their person then travel to Indonesia.

As you may guess I have little patience for reality TV replacing good shows.

Funny idea I saw on Tumblr ages ago.

30 Gay Men are put under one roof and the object of the game is to figure out which one of them is secretly a straight guy.

Plot Twist? They're all straight men. Hilarity Ensues.

Book It! Ten librarians. One picky toddler. They must get the person to read.
