    Does everything include his life?

    They won't let him lose- it's a TV show. He'll become all rich and marry a model. No one wants to see a guy go broke.

    But he's right though. He'd walk away with a TV show deal about "What was it like to lose that money?"

    Comon man, dont be naive. The same people who watched the gladiator fights a couple thousand years ago would be rooting for this cat to be ruined. People havnt changed all that much.

    IMHO, you have to be pretty freakin' retarded to do something like this. The only reason I would watch this would ne to laugh hysterically at a guy when he loses his entire life's savings/posessions.

    If it does include your life, what would you get if you won to represent the value of your life?

    I'm still waiting to see a real honest reality TV show. One called like "Kick in the nuts" or something, where they just give people 50 bucks to hit em and then walk away. I still wouldn't watch it, but that's when I'd know reality TV is truly complete.

    Just a bit of info for you guys, but they stole/borrowed/bought this idea from here in the UK. Guy converted all his life's worth into chips, went to Las Vegas and won. He then went and sold his story to newspapers, and the channel that showed the original then followed him around for a month in a reality TV documentary thing.

    So yeah, whatever happens, whether its real or fake, he/she will still make enough money from deals to cover up what they lost.

    Know what this reminds me of? The Long Walk. Old Stephen King book. It was basically a marathon. 100 people went into it and it was basically whoever walked the farthest won. However, if you dropped below 4mph, you got a warning. You could get three warnings and an hour of walking would erase them. If you stopped too many times or couldnt walk anymore, they shot you. The person who won got one wish, whatever they wanted.

    Once again, reality TV sucks. Why waste my time watching other people fail when I could do the same for more experience?

    I remember that, it was a great story. But I think it wasn't who walked the farthest, but who reached the finish first. But, that close to the end of the race there was usually only 1 or 2 people left anyway. I forget how far it actually was but Im thinking about 500 miles? Yeah, anyway I guess we aren't that far away from something like this, or atleast modern day gladiators.

    Hmmm... I'd do it. I'm fourteen, so I own pretty much nothing save a few games, dvds, and this computer. And some spare change.

    I assume you have to be 18, which is really too bad. I could have made a few bucks.

    I read that book too, pretty freaky. It was the last guy alive, though, not the guy who reaches the finish line first. There is no finish line.
