Ahhh.... Bringing back The Mole can save it. Even if it's the only good Reality TV show out there. I liked it because it was really more like a game show than a RTV show. And I'm not talking about the sucky Celebrity Mole. I mean the one that had puzzles rivaling any Zelda game and characters that weren't Dennis Rodman.
For those unfamiliar with the concept; They take 12 or so strangers and bring them together at a castle or whatnot. Then they tell them that one of them is the mole. They play games for cash to go into the pot. The mole tries to sabatauge these games so they make no cash. Each episode they take a test on who is the mole, and the one with the least questions right gets eliminated.
For seasons one and two this show had me rivited.
What can save reality TV yes it is possable

Yay! A practical use for cloning we can all agree on.
Are you proposing we clone just the Veloceraptors, or the celebrities as well. We could bring them back from the dead for the ultimate battle royal style experience!
Elvis Vs Kennedy Vs T-rex
Round 1.
FIGHT!
On a slightly more serious note, The Mole was good because they offered the none moles the chance to sabotage the game as well, in exchange for a guarenteed pass to the next round. Entertaining stuff, but more of a gameshow than a reality TV experience.
I want to go back to the films of the 80's, where plots were simple, and explosions happened regularly....

Quality is where it's at. One look at the temptation island (or virtually any other new show) setup, host and crew and I'm rolling my eyes. Why would I want to watch this? they're just going through the motions.
Love 'em or hate 'em, the American Idol and Survivor franchises are on a whole other level, production-wise.

I suspect the Thailand TV studio has been spying on this thread:

Oh dear God they're joking. They must be. Who exactly are they targetting that at? And if there is an audience for people being killed on camera, why have they not had their heads stoved in with a lump hammer?
