Certianly be more entertaining, and we could do as the romans did and use it for execution of dangerous convicts without the wait!...
Nonononononoooo!!!
We use the same people as go on all those other reality shows....you think they read the contracts?

You think they can read?

Well....anyway....rather than disposing of the prisoners we conduct an active application of the principles of darwin....

I'm all for this. To quote Robin Williams, "At this point, even Calligula's going: 'What the FUCK are you people doing? Why don't you just have Hannibal Lecter on Iron Chef?".

I would have no problem with the implementation of live deathmatch. You could run it like boxing: PPV only, attendable only by adults over the age of 21, etc. Or just take car demolition derby to the next logical step and mount flame throwers and machine guns on the cars.

Seriously. It's as 'reality tv' as anything FOX gets away with.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.

And to think that "Series 7" was meant as a parody. With crap like this on TV, we'll have something exactly like that soon enough....

Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all
