I just read this news article about a new Reality show. I must say that it has the most potential out of all reality shows ever.

ROLLER-COASTER ROULETTE
Dangerous reality TV show is a real thriller!

CONTESTANTS in a new TV reality show will take an exciting ride on a speeding roller coaster in which all the safety bars are broken, except one. Winning contestants will have to hang on for the 10- minute First Round, while cars race at speeds of up to 100 m.p.h.

"Individuals who accidentally drop into the center gears, get launched into space or exit the ride for any reason will be disqualified," explains Barney Fahrquar of Grim Reaper Productions.

"The losers will immediately be sent home, to the hospital or the morgue."

The lucky person with the latching safety bar,along with those not in need of stitches, will be guaranteed a place in the Second Round.

"Roller-Coaster Roulette is going to be a real thriller that will have viewers on the edge of their seats," says Fahrquar.

"Watching a person's face while they lose their grip on the bar inch by inch, knowing they'll probably suffer a broken back, a fractured skull or death if their hands slip off is the stuff of real suspense.

"Even truly great actors and actresses like Bo Derek and Heather Locklear or even Pamela Anderson couldn't 'act' this kind of sheer terror.

"Before the action starts, we're going to begin with some human interest stories, introduce the volunteers first and get to know a little about them, their jobs and families so the audience has a chance to choose favorites.

"I believe a program is like a sporting event -- it's always better if you have someone to root for." Round Two will get slightly more difficult, says Fahrquar.

"The survivors of Round One will get back on the roller coaster and take a second ride standing up, holding the family pet," says the producer.

"This will really separate the men from the boys, if you don't mind me using that term, because of course females will be invited to participate."
