You are appointed head of original programming. Your boss tells you he wants you to:
Revamp 1 show from the vault
Select 1 "original" series from GSN to return
Choose a topic for a new reality series.
What would you pick, and why?

Revamp: Treasure Hunt. Yes, you don't need brains to win here. But it remains one of Geoff Edwards' best efforts.
Original to return: I'd vote for "Lingo" -- but reportedly a 4th season is in the work. If that does come to fruition, bring back "Hollywood Showdown". It was a great revival of "Jackpot".
Reality series: Since televised blackjack and poker tournaments have been the best of GSN's original programs over the last year (though compared to "Fake-A-Date", "Vegas Weddings Unveiled" and "Kenny vs. Spenny", that ain't sayin' much), why not a reality series following the days in the life of a professional gambler? Title "The Real Deal", it doesn't have to follow one specific player throughtout the series. One week, a profile of Evelyn Ng, a poker player. The next episode, "Hollywood" Dave Stann, flamboyant blackjack player who served as dealer on "Celebrity Blackjack".
