Solitary(reality)
whats your thoughts on this show? i just watched the last like 10 minutes of it, although im not a big reality show fan this looks pretty funny.

all the dufas had to do was wait untill the alarm went off and he would have stayed... what a wimp. suprised the girl who didnt type in the code intime held out for so long at any case

1. Don't do Tv.... What's the premise?
It sounds like I'd be the perfect candidate, except that I'm not the TV type, so I'd never be cast.

2. farily simple
theres like 6 contestents in their own solitary rooms, hense the title, their subjected to "treatments" and if they want to quit they just have to hit a red butten thats on the wall. basicly the first one who quits leaves the show, but for the contestents theres no way of knowing when someone quits untill they quit. from what i saw the first episode was sleep deprivation and having to type in a series of numbers into a keypad everytime a loud alarm goes off, once they type it in the alarm tunrs off, if they type the wrong number or don't type one in time the alarm won't be turned off, untell they quit.

3. So... prisoner's dilemma plus Gitmo?
Torture and game theory?

TV execs scare me.
