I got this after reading Brad Peglow's memo about wanting to go back to the barter system.

I'll Trade You

6 people are each given an identical item.  Each person tries to trade the item for something better.  The camara crews follows each of them around all day.  At the end of the day the person with the most valuable remaining item wins something.  They all get to keep what they ended up with.

Jess - that barter thing is interesting.  Did you read the story of the red paper clip?  The guy traded up to a new house just starting with a red paper clip.  It's an intriguing story.  You can google the story I think...

Let's see.....I'd like to see a reality show about people who work for hersheys....I'd like to know how they work around all that chocolate every day and not have sensory overload.  LOL.

Keith - That's an interesting idea.  Sort of like "The Biggest Gainer"?

How about this one: instead of winning a million dollars, why not give a million dollars to ten different people and see who can use it for the best cause? Every week, the person who is deemed to have wasted the most money, will be voted off. Until their is just one giver left. In essence, everybody wins! Except for the IRS.

Brad that the show but let's make it a billion so we can give God his 1/3 then we come up with what we can do withe rest and not for ourselves for others. Like Richard Proyer had to do but it will not be for our own gain.

Mike, I assume that was the time it was on in syndication =D

Jay, I'm happy you enjoy this too =D

MaKelly, I think they need a show called "Who Wants to Help People".

I don't watch TV, so I don't know what has or hasn't been done.   How about just putting a few women in a small room for a week, and see what happens? lol

Lara - Maybe they need a show on people who don't watch TV?

Ladies - The Chinese language uses an alphabet that is based on pictures.  The symbol for "strife" represents two women under the same roof.

"the person with the most valuable remaining item wins something"

LOL!  Did you notice that this is self-refuting?  Take an example:  Alice has a jetski, Bob owns a produce stand, and Charlie is holding a 1909 Honus Wagner tobacco card formerly owned by Wayne Gretzky.  Who owns the most valuable item in a barter system?  If you ask each contestant, they will claim theirs is more valuable, especially with an additional prize in the balance!  But perhaps Bob has always wanted to own a jetski since he was a kid and Alice has a huge garden?  A barter system relies on a subjective value system, but the judging at the end of the show relies on an objective value system.  But which objective standard?  The decision to pick which judge becomes a subjective one.

Just having fun :)

Good point Eric. Hmmm We can fix this by setting the criteria for the most valuable item at the beginning of each show. Value could be determined by monetary value, by weight, by benifit to humanity, whatever.

Alright Eric, you are oficially banned from programming! lol....

I am all for the being on the show that people get paid in hersheys! LorenDP

Perhaps we can move on the idea of putting women in 1 room for a week (lara Leger), make all of them speak different languages and on Friday, after a week of health food and no coffee, give them all starbucks and a box of truffles and see how they work it out then... Just so you know, after a couple years living in Japan I have deduced that although tea is better there, they are equally as addicted to the same great tasting starbucks around the world! haha!
 
In fact, maybe what I need is a reality show called "clean my house", a bunch of women move into my house for a week, while I move to a cabin in the Ozarks with my kids, I will leave them an ample supply of Starbucks and Chocolate and tell them the first one to clean their designated room to spotless wins! What'll they win Bob? I don't know, I guess I could give them my husbands dog,,, mines to cute.... HAHA!

Jess, congrats on the new job!!!
That's hilarious about the chinese word for strife!  lol.  Ha, on a more serious note, certain characters have biblical "pictures", maybe you've heard of those.
I read something once about a guy on a quest to hit every Starbucks worldwide... or maybe it was just nationally.  Did anyone hear what happened to that?
