No dilemmas. No definitions. No $ale.

"Anything for Money"-Before the contestants predict the outcome of a pre-taped stunt, they first have to negotiate their way through a row of oversized playing cards, determining whether the next card will be higher or lower than the one that precedes it.

Forget $ale of the Century......Freemantle decided to get General Motors involved in this one, and re-title it...

$ale of the Buick Century!!!!!!

Yes folks, it's the only game where if you win, you get a stab at taking home the producer's 1983 Buick Century Custom. Comes with fading paint, torn upholstery, non-functioning air conditioning, a water-logged trunk, and New Jersey emissions (smoke pouring out the tailpipe)......

Sorry....couldn't resist

Now, that actually seems like a challenging game!

(But only on this board, thank God) Fremantle's ideas for the New New Extreme version of Newlywed will have cameras going to the homes of Newlyweds Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson. Nick will have to guess the next stupid thing to come out of Jessica's mouth. Can he do it?

They missed their window of opportunity. If they had taped this weekend, they could have had Britney and Jason.

One wonders if this thread should have started to begin with. If anyone from Fremangle reads this, we might have fed them with ideas

Fat chance. They can't come up with anything as good as these.

CONCENTRATION - Behind each prize is a picture of a famous person. Not part of a picture, but the entire picture.

This saves money because the puzzle will be solved after only one prize has been won.

Beat the Clock - most of the stunts won't actually use a clock

Blackmarket Sweep - I'd actually like to see that one ;-)

2 Minute Drill - if you can stay married to Britney Spears for over 2 minutes, you win. None of that quiz nonsence.

And for the Question of Great Significance:

1. Tell me how she was in bed.
2. Was she really a virgin?
3. Are they real, and if so, are they spectacular?

And, as we all know, Mandel Ilagan, an employee of Fremantle, is a member of this forum.

Mandel, at a pitch meeting: "Hey guys, I've got a idizzle for a shizzle, it's called "Nizzame That Tizzle......"

I was going to suggest combining GONG with RR (all gonged acts fall through the hole), but that's not witty enough for this thread. So never mind.

JEOPARDY! Contestants are given the answers AND the questions. They just have to buzz-in. Host: Judy Tanuda (SP?)

LET'S MAKE A DEAL: Contestants trade junk for dates. Host: Kathy Kinney

PYRAMID: In the main game, time would be shortened to 25 seconds. the winner's circle would be GREATLY dumbed down. Host: Donny Osmond

FAMILY FEUD: Primetime reality last-man-standing show. Host: McCulley Culkin

Bet they'd hire GSN's monkeys to be the judges too. And they'd turn the categories into silly puns...I mean, PUNS = RATINGS, look at the bombshell MG98 was! (Oops, how did the word "shell" get in there?)

Boy am I glad that will never happen! Oh...wait....
