Via MediaBistro’s mailing list, I heard about this article on Boston.com about fX’s new reality show “Masterplan”. Basically, a guy is filmed 24 hours a day and the viewers get to vote on his life decisions:
Imported from Portugal, where it is known as &l.dquo;Masterplan,” the series will follow an individual — 24 hours a day, seven days a week — who has agreed to turn over his life decisions to the viewers, who vote via phone and the Internet after each episode. FX will begin running seven one-hour episodes in its “Friday Night Fix” programming in October. […]
It reminds me in some ways of an IRL version of those Choose Your Own Adventure books. And I suppose I’m most curious about what type of decisions the viewers would get to vote on. In any case, it seems interesting.
hmmm…i never thought about adding an ‘i’ in front of rl. now i’ll never confuse ‘real life’ with ‘rocket launcher’. all those hours upon hours of playing quake ruined me.
