Reality TV Show Bootcamp
Created By Roxanna Bain
Format: Weekly One Hour Reality Television Series
Concept: Basic Training For All Reality Show Contestants
LOGLINE:
“REALITY TV SHOW BOOTCAMP” takes Reality TV contestant wannabes through basic training to perfect skills needed to audition, compete and win on a Reality Television Show.
SYNOPSIS:
"BootCampers" learn it is "Survival of the Wittiest" as they get on-the-job training from former contestants to live, work, compete, and win on television's hottest new entertainment shows.
Contestants will hone their skills in sportsmanship, leadership, patience, and grace as viewers and fans choose the one “Most Likely To Succeed” on a Reality TV Show. They will learn specific skills needed to beat thousands for a spot at a Reality TV Show audition. They will also be taught the essentials for surviving group living, dealing with job pressures, sportsmanship, gracious losing, and yes, even proper talk show etiquette for their 15 minutes of fame.
THE SETTING :
Eight young hopefuls will live closely in a beautiful home on wheels while traveling to a new city each week. Their challenges will be built with the objective to raise enough money to break a Guinness World Record currently held at $7,500,000.00.
Although luxurious, the close quarters of an RV are sure to create both tension and romance when our contestants must battle for every little bit of privacy and personal space.
Shades of “Survivor” will come to mind when seven people share a limited water supply and only one private bedroom and ~ OH NO! ~ Only One Teeny-Tiny Bathroom!
Additionally, “Big Brother” in-fighting is sure to surface in these close quarters, while “Apprentice” type challenges bring out their competitive fangs.
Fans in each city will experience the excitement as our BootCampers and crew are courted by the local residents and hounded by the paparazzi. The pre-show sizzle will surely be noticed by tabloid television shows and magazines, leading to a built in audience when our show premiers.

BOOTCAMPER WEEKLY CHALLENGES:
Challenges will be designed to develop products to be sold by our sponsors with a percentage of each sale contributing to our goal. By the end of our show we will have raised at least 7.5 million dollars (plus one) to purchase the domain name“World Peace Headquarters.com”, and
break the Guinness World Record in the category of “Most Expensive Internet Domain Name”.
“World Peace Headquarters.com” will then be donated to a deserving World Peace Charity. Additional challenges for our contestants will require them to work with competing charities to develop programs for the best use of the domain name. The winning charity will be decided by Premium SMS vote by viewers.
Each show will include workshops for Bootcamp training , skill testing, and interviews with representatives from the Gunness World Records. Following are examples of challenges and suggested sponsors based on a ten week series.

By the time this episode airs on television, both flavors will be in all of the stores and restaurants that carry B&J’s. The viewers will decide which flavor they like best, and will text in their vote for it. B&J’s will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sales toward our goal.

If we earned enough money to buy the domain name (at least $7,501,000.00) we will announce the winning charity to which it will be donated. If we did not meet our goal, our sponsors will continue to sell the products and our next season will develop new products to add to our line.

The two with the top scores of the daily votes will be awarded a trip to a local attraction and/or restaurant that evening. Losers will be assigned domestic duties and dinner in their motor home.
2) Weekly - By the sponsor or organization for which they are creating solutions.
At the end of each week, they will be judged on leadership, professionalism, creativity, and decisiveness.
A weekly winner will be announced based on the combined highest score from daily and weekly voting. That person will be in the lead until next week's results are in. (Special weekly prizes or privileges may be awarded)
