How would you fix survival shows? (1 Viewer)

[athenaaa]

I think there should be an age limit on who can enter them because literal children should not be allowed to be subjected to that. I would also change how contestants are treated: they should be allowed to have a decent amount of sleep and healthy eating habits.

I'd give them a smaller cast of maybe 20 contestants max, so we can actually get to know all trainees

I'd give it a nonlinear format
or do the normal episode by episode thing but release all the raw footage afterwards

Spoiler: random outlandish blabber

Spoiler: Crypto based anti vote rigging

So I blabbed a ton about this within this thing so you can find the bits if you want I guess

but I was thinking to decentralize voting using cryptocurrency (eyeah I can already hear you groaning Ik I'm groaning at how badly ppl abused crypto)

but basically how crypto works is that it can track and store information without having any one computer running its program having full control and therefore cannot change things once the information is stored. so that works well for keeping track of money but also any other thing.

Basically what happened with NFT's is that they figured out how to store any ole sht on there rather than just money numbers. Even operational code. (gonna use this fact to build a decentralized server to host all of this shiznits)

So basically everyone downloads an app to participate in voting

each person can do the normal stuff of voting 10 times for free each day
but then also also why not allow people to buy more votes using the app's cryptocurrency system!

those who downloaded the app onto sufficiently strong devices (desktops and whatnot) can "mine" the blockchain (fancyspeak for pitching in to verify information and getting rewarded with crypto) for crypto coins to spend extra. (for those not tracking, basically votes are being verified across consumers' devices that the company has no access to. and consumers who pitched in get rewarded)
those who cannot mine the coin can also buy coins using credit card or spam-watching ads I guess.

if they really wanted to I guess companies can introduce bulk discounts in the form of vip-passes or smsht to give perks like weekly coin reward or personalized video clips recorded by contestant of choice. plus global minor discount for all merch to sucker in some older folk.

also coins can be used to buy merch associated with individual contestants to give the contestants a kickback (however small that may be after the survival show and signing companies take their share)

Initial investment from investors will be used to prop up the value of the cryptocurrency and second round investment will actually fund the show.

to make this actually worth it to operate, they'll need to list the coin on an exchange as well so it can be tied to real world currency ( also ppl with extra crypto can sell it there an get some cash mebbe ) as well as plans to continue doing show after show. there's going to be tons of supergroups from this...

Spoiler: Reformed survival show model

so basically what about instead of making each other to compete against each other for spots on a group, what if this is actually posing as fundraising rounds for idols

so like fans of contestants buy merch associated with the contestant of their choice as they release individual singles at first and then work their way in like the PD survival show format. lowest earners are dropped but they get to keep a cut of the money they helped generate

but there's a "finish line" that once each contestant crosses they are safe from elimination (aka they'll debut still but whether or not its with the supergroup is another matter). the finish line is a comfortable amount of money required to debut an idol that'd normally come from investors

also the show will come in with its own cash prizes for each round of eliminations and ppl vote for who to distribute it to. the money is split by percentage of votes.

also also they'll just do survival show like normal to determine who's going into the supergroup

ehh its not that good huh... whatevs.

don't put literal children in it... let kids be kids. it makes me want to throw up when i see those grown adults comment on minors' bodies (like this fucking creep jyp). also they should stop taking the "survival" part literally, back when i still tolerated survival shows there was an episode of produce 101 where i saw a grown woman touch each contestant's stomach to later decide how much they're allowed to eat. i have no respect to whoever made that happen. you can still make an entertaining show with creating a musical group without treating the contestants like shit.

 

[Villains]

definitely an age limit because it just creeps me out when adults are commenting on minors like that.

Kill one pick voting forever. This is not aks and the winners are not a one song deal.

Announce the preferred concept for the project group.

vote for only the given number, maybe 1 or 2 less leave the producer the option to fill one of the spots if the fans f up and dont pick say a legit vocal, or some specific needs they see for the act.

Remove any you must vote for x number of ppl from a sub group ie gp 999

There will still be tactical voting, but in most cases the pick the full number teams were the best.

Make em about building a group ie a team,

focus more on how the contestants work with each other and the over all chemistry.
