Could Shapeshifter TV Be A Reality?


Good Friday morning!

So I've been thinking lately about the TV shows I've been watching. Most of my choices lean toward the paranormal/sci-fi (big surprise, lol), but I also found that I am currently watching two Reality TV shows. 8/

Reality shows have never been my favorite types of shows, but over the years I have watched a few...Survivor, Rockstar, The Amazing Race and now Undercover Boss (this one is for the hubby who really likes it.)

So I had an idea...Shape Shifter Reality TV. Could it work?

Well, let's see,

Undercover Shifter Boss - The leader of a pride/pack infiltrates the group to make sure everyone is happy. Um, this probably wouldn't work though, considering that leaders of the animal variety are usually known to the entire pack, or can be easily identified as such...

Rockstar: Shifter style - hmmm, do your shifters sing well? Moving on...

The Amazing Race - Shapeshifters pair up and race across the world. The tasks would be extreme(chasing of the prey, alpha stand-off and catch that scent) and if we really wanted to see some sparks fly, team shifters up randomly...think a jag and a wolf would work well together? Now this idea has some possibilities, although cooping our beasts up on an airplane for long hours might make for some interesting news...

Survivor - This one I think has the best shot at being a winner. Think of it, tribes are made up of each type of animal, coyote, jag, wolf, bear, horse, tiger...heck any thing you can think of and send them to an island together to outwit and outplay each other. LOL, just a thought here, if we make it during mating season, we'd have a whole new kinda reality show...one left best to cable. ;)

How about you, what reality TV would you change into a shifter reality show and would it work?

Have a great weekend!

I dunno if it was Survivor, I think the blood would spill pretty darn quick.

It would be fun though, to create a shapeshifter reality show... how about ~ Dancing of the ShapeShifting Stars?

Heh heh, you're right Savanna, blood letting would probably find it's way into the viewers living rooms mighty quick!

Ooh, Dancing with a graceful and strong shapeshifter, now that would be some sexy and fun TV!

Top Chef might be interesting, as the winners prepare a dish made from the losers of the Quickfire Challenge ...

Or Project Runway. It's long past time shifters had their own fashions. Something sleek, smart and sexy that can be shed in a blink before that tail rips a hole in it.

Survivor, of course. Tribe Herbivore vs. Tribe Carnivore. Outwit, outlast, outrun. My money's on the coyote. But then, my money's always on the coyote.

You want to see blood flow? Shifter Apprentice. Hey, Donald, tell the tiger he's fired. See what it gets you. I know a lot of people who'd tune in for that.

Shifter Bachelor? Twelve human women vie for a hot alpha male. Instead of a rose he presents her with a fresh kill as proof of his ability as a provider. Or maybe not ...

Rock Star - the canines have this one sewn up. Again, my money's on the coyotes.

Slightly off topic, has anyone been watching Amazing Race? How about those Oklahoma cowboy brothers, Jet and Cord? Are those romance novel names or what? Sometimes fiction and reality intersect in strange ways.

Serena Shay said...

LOL...Awesome list, Pat! Shapeshifter Bachelor...nice one, oh man, I'd even sign up if I could win a sexy shapeshifting male! Of course my own man would probably not be thrilled...hehe

I love The Amazing Race and yep, Jet and Cord are great romance names! I'll tell ya though, I do hope they win. :)

Pat, definitely an awesome list. You and Serena should continue this blogging theme!

Pat, your comment could be turned into a bloggie!

LOL! I don't think I could top any of these. Survivor would have to be my choice, I sort of like the theme;-) It's a natural!
