Cougar Reality series for Channel TEN?
Is TEN looking to pit teams of desperate cougars together in a new reality series hosted by Dicko?

Is this TEN’s next hit reality series?
Ten teams of desperate cougars are berated by Red Symons, on their journey to the title of the next big celebrity chef. An elimination ceremony is based on a challenging obstacle course which appears to have been borrowed from Gladiators. Hosted by Dicko.
No it isn’t.
And neither is this:
A bunch of singing contestants undergo routine humiliation by Kyle Sandilands, to win the prize of Australia’s next teen idol BMX stunt rider. A weekly live show includes a guest musical act completing a sadistic lie detector test. Hosted by Nikki Webster.
But they are both two of the fake Reality ideas in the “Channel TEN Reality Show Generator” -put together by enterprising TV Tonight reader, Jeb.
He has put together a very amusing application that mixes and matches all manner of concepts, names and bizarre ideas. With the press of a button it generates a whole new Reality concept.
As Jeb explains, “I got the idea after noticing that some of Channel 10’s stranger ideas – Yasmine’s Getting Married, Taken Out, The Hothouse – really just seemed like they’d thrown a random bunch of elements in the air and combined ideas almost at random. Surely I can do them a favour and help automate the process?”
Jeb, who described himself as ‘a wry observer of the lowest common denominator on TV’, says next he is thinking of “more generators like the Instant Sunrise Segment Idea Generator and the Channel 9 Scandal Generator too.”

oh pllleeeaaassssssseeeeee no
Would be far more funny if we had fields to fill in and then the generator came up with our personal reality TV show. Something for the more computer savvy kids to come up with?
Personally, I would love to see Channel Ten do a Biggest Loser in reverse.
It isn’t only fat people who want to lose weight in out society – what about skinny people who want to put on some definition? It could be still branded under the same format, but get skinny people to gain weight and muscle. Just an idea (of which I have many!)
Classic. And kind of addictive. I want the chance to elect the most neurotic renovator!
Jeb, please do the Channel 9 Scandal Generator
I thought this was going to be fair dinkum. A Beauty and the Geek type of show featuring cougars and young bucks. I think Cougars and the Bucks could work. 😛
Funniest thing is none of these ideas seem to be below Ten’s standards!
Hahahaha, Bravo Jeb!! 😀
Oh god, even Jeff Zucker’s resume of failures looks better than TENs stupid idea one after another…. they’re better off selling Guthy Renker in primetime than this, or air 1 hour straight worth of ads.
im slightly sad that the cougars dating with eliminator isnt going ahead… oh the chuckles
I was thinking the exact same thing David! 😀
“The nation’s most talented and undiscovered Michael Jackson impersonators are voted on by 100 audience members, to elect the nation’s best princess. An elimination ceremony is based on a test to see who can survive a marathon viewing session of the E! channel. Hosted by Sara-Marie.”
I would probably watch that =D
Milf Island 🙂
OHHH 🙁
I thought the new reality show with Dicko as host was real until i read the article and it wasn’t.
It sounded interesting…maybe they should give it a go
Who knew masterchef would be a hit!!
There is no ‘e’ in Yasmin.
Lol, that’s great.
