LAYOFFS ARE YR BEST ENTERTAINMENT VALUE

[defrog]

ITEM: The Fox Network has revealed its newest idea for a reality show: letting employees of struggling small businesses decide which one of their colleagues will be laid off.

It's called Someone's Gotta Go, and it's in production now.

Classy. Should be a major hit. Given current events and all.

Meanwhile, YesButNoButYes has some helpful and insightful tips for prospective contestants from one of the people who writes the plot twists, unexpected outcomes and judges zingers for Hell's Kitchen, The Mole, The Bachelor, Top Chef and others.

Don’t look at me like that. You didn’t think these shows were completely improvised, did you?

Feelgood hit of the summer,

This is dF

Okay...it was only EIGHT men.

Adoption rights advocates are outraged at a US reality TV show in which a young adopted woman tries to identify her biological father among eight men - seven of whom are impostors seeking to convince her they are the real thing.

In Who's Your Daddy?, which will air in the States as a Fox 90-minute special on January 3, the woman eventually will find out which man is her biological father.

But first she must interview and observe the eight men and guess which one is her birth father. If she's correct, she wins $132,000, but if she picks one of the counterfeit dads, that man gets the money.
