Tontine is a new reality show coming out. Now reality shows are pretty gay and I don't expect anyone to care about this however there is an aspect to this that is pretty amazing and that is the winner gets 10 million dollars. Do you think people will watch this since the prize winnings are 10 times more then any reality tv show of the past?

What do they do? I wouldn't watch just because someone gets ten million. The details are shaky but there is 15 people each with a key. When 15 keys are combined they open up the box to 10 million. All the 15 people start all over the world on all 7 continents and they get clues where to meet up with the other people. They meet another contestant somewhere in the world, compete in physical and mental challenges and whoever wins takes all their keys. |

One of the big networks. Found out a real interesting aspect to the show though
The 10, 000, 000 prize is to be not given out by the company but is the combined Net Worth's of all 15 contestants.

Basically every contestant is putting all there live savings into this pot and the winner gets all of the others money while the other 14 go home penniless . That sounds absolutely nuts

Apparently networks feel like the "leaving losers destitute" approach will scare away advertisers. You would have to think that the ratings would be out the roof for this thing though.

Tontine is described as a combination of Survivor and The Amazing Race, Tontine will follow 15 contestants as they invest their entire net worth to travel to all seven continents in 100 days and contend for a $10 million prize. Contestants will each start with a key, and the final contestant who possesses all 15 keys wins the game and unlocks the grand prize. The show is to be hosted by "Boston Rob" Mariano, who was a contestant on both Survivor and The Amazing Race before signing on for Tontine.
Filming is scheduled to start in January of 2008 and the show may air in the Fall of 2008.[
