TheBilcourt: Solitary

Solitary

This has to be the most insane reality tv/game show I have ever seen. I seriously don't think I would make it past the first couple rounds. You can be the most physically and mentally apt person in the world and you would still have trouble in this game.

It's called Solitary and it comes on the Fox Reality Channel on digital cable. There's already been one season(I haven't seen it) and I just finished watching the second season.

Here's the premise... 9 people are put into small rooms individually with no contact to the outside world except for a one last phone call. The rooms have no clocks, windows, or any other way for the contestants to know how long time has passed. These contestants never see each other and they cannot see how the others compete in competitions/tests. The only contact that the contestants have with anyone is through a computer named Val. Once in their rooms, each one of them is stripped of their name and they are given a number. That is what Val will call them and that is how the other contestants will know them. Each show consists of a challenge or test for everyone at the beginning. The winner of the test then does not have to compete in the second challenge also known as "the treatment". The tests and treatments are not easy, but are hard and mentally insane. Even when they are not competing in tests, Val makes their lives difficult. They are not allowed to sleep unless Val permits them to, which is hardly ever. My only issue with the show is that it's so difficult physically and mentally and the grand prize is only a measly $50,000. They should give away a minimum $100,000 to $500,000 for dealing with all this stuff.

If you have digital cable, go to the Fox Reality Channel and watch this show. It's definitely one of those shows that words just can't describe. You need to see it to understand, but leave it to me to help remedy that for you!

Here is the first episode of Solitary 2.0 straight from Google Video. Also below that, I have posted kind of another example video from the first season. The Val voices are different in the different seasons. I'm going to try and find video of some of the other crazy tests from the show and post them.
