Alternate Reality Television Programming Strategy

A 24/7 series of moments caught on camera

That cause laughter from the audience

Or making viewers want to strangle the lead

A character that mixed real and good lighting

Someone viewers aren't sure to root for them

Appear to be harboring a secret agenda

Service with a smile and a butcher knife ready

To thrust in the back of anyone who crosses them

Especially if they no longer serve their purpose of winning

This 12 episode saga where $1 million is the reward

To a borderline staged soap opera of loyalty and betrayal

The ultimate contradiction of "Reality television"

Managed to survive a razor thin eviction notice

Reached the live two hour finale by the grace of the viewers

Earned the prize by being ruthlessly true to human nature

And superb television editing

Glad to survive the "game" and looking to cash on additional fame

For the next remaining 15 seconds of it.
