Solitary
This is a really good reality show and one of the most unique I’ve ever seen. It basically pits 9 people in a isolation experiment where they aren’t fighting each other…..but themselves. Each of them have their own pod, deprived of sunlight/moonlight, any time-telling device, or anything that could help them. They have a bathroom, a meal slot through which they receive items for tests, tasteless food, or the rare awards. There will be several activities, and once before each treatment they will have a test. The winner of said test will win “immunity” from the upcoming treatment. The tests can range from getting a message out of a 52 word pileup that takes 5 seconds to play through, making a huge domino chain, putting together clips from a disturbing movie, assemble a 50 piece hamster maze by running 10 laps on a treadmill for each, and more. They will then go on to a treatment which could be a footbed of nails, a smoothie of 50 different foods, or spinning ina desk chair. The first to quit a treatment loses and goes home, but they do not know if someone else has gone home, so they are left wondering after they have quit if they lasted long enough. They may quit at anytime from this “torture”. I strongly recommend this to anyone who is tired of hearing Simon babble or hearing the Tribe speak. It comes on 8:00 p.m. Saturdays on Fox Reality, Channel 250 DirecTV.
