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.

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.
hmmmm im only worth about 2k(i have 2k to my name) if i lose no big deal...than again im only 19 so i cant register <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

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.

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