08 ★ scare tactics (fear is harmless)

The show, just the latest in a string of "reality based programming" will feature "Candid Camera" like stunts inspired by scenes from Science fiction television programs and movies. The "victims" will witness alien abductions, hauntings, and various other X-Philean type gags and their reactions will be chronicled here on this series.

➜ Someone, or something is trying to scare you. Maybe it's not real, and you'll find out soon enough. Or you know, you could be in the Twilight Zone.

09 ★ most haunted (the ghost is not a lie)

12 ★ extreme makeover (from drab to fab)

Three people are chosen to receive the makeover of a lifetime which includes: lasik surgery, cosmetic dentistry, hair, makeup, and wardrobe.

➜ Maybe your friend/classmate/coworker decides to bring you out of your so-called "geekdom" and into a new era of "cool". If you're lucky, that makeover includes the house.

13 ★ blind date (hi, my name is...)

During each episode, people who did not know each other were paired up and sent off on a blind date. The cameras followed their every move, while commentary in the form of subtitles, animations, and "thought bubbles" was added by the show's producers.

➜ Whoops, blind date time. Chances are you two aren't really compatible... what will you do?

14 ★ jackass (you don't have a stunt double)

A reality series featuring people performing various dangerous, crude self-injuring stunts and pranks.

➜ It might be a double-dare, it might be to show off. Just try not to break a leg. Oh that's right, we want you to.

15 ★ the real world (it's not really real)

Each season, series producers choose a diverse group of seven to eight people in their late teens to mid-20s to live together in a major city. The series presents their spontaneous, unscripted interactions with one another and the world around them.

[hey lil' buoy lemme whispa in yo ear]

((OOC: If you'd rather something else, that's cool, too! Honestly, Masaomi wouldn't mind doing crazy stuff, but he'd rather not risk Mikado getting hurt. Or involve him in stuff that's Jackass crazy. Even after everything.))

[~~real world; greendale. real housewives of greendale. survivor; greendale. greendale's next top model.~~]

[ooc: 'SUP fellow NBC lady. How about making of the band?]

((ooc| heeeeey~. how early do you get up to slightly curl your blonde hair? anyways, yesssss. mind starting? i've never seen making of the band, so i probably couldn't maximize its hilarity.))

[hahaaaaaaaa. nbd just up at 4:30. once she fell asleep for 5 hours and it was the longest nap of her life. No problem! Basically making of the band has P. Diddy sending you out on errands across the city and threatening to shut down the studio. But! I could also write a "survivor" scenario, if you wanna stick with a show slightly more in current pop culture.]

((ooc| all i know of making of the band is what i've seen from the chappelle show, so my perception of the show might be a bit askew. and puh-lease britta would own "survivor". you don't get through a world trade rally, foot-modeling, and four years at greendale without having to eat bugs and doing physical challenges at some point :| tbh, i'm good with either one. i know with these two, it'll be a complete and epic mess.))

... You are bloody kidding me.

[Leslie Knope has only a very minor level-1 Lil' Sebastian honor guard security clearance (an honor guard that she herself passed into law as her first act as city councilwoman), so she has no idea of the specifics of M's job. She just knows that she in inherently intimidated slash respectful slash in awe of her.

Minus those shoes. And her department's approach to public relations.]

Have you ever considered an office version of Doc Martins? And what are your thoughts on gay penguin marriage?

[honor guard clearance. right. M's not sure how the hell she got roped into this - likely some publicity stunt to make M16 look a bit better in the wake of so much collateral damage. she narrows her eyes]

Last I checked, the laws of wedlock had nothing to do with wild animals.
