Novac Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Since we've been talking about our favorite game shows, I figured we could get creative. If you were to create a game show titled Black Friday, what would it be like? How would you play? What would the rules be? What would the prizes be? Who would be the host, and who would be the announcer? What would be the theme song? The best concept wins this digital cookie:
able Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 id say it would have compititions of running through stores kinda like shop till you drop shows...meanwhile you must have to wait and deal with people in the line ,kinda like reality shows.. and same time deals and finding them
Firemansgal311 Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Also you must not have had any sleep in 24 hours
jellybean051901 Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Plus stand outside in the freezing cold overnight. In real BF shopping there are no rules. It is just a mad rush. The theme song should be mission impossible or the lone ranger:D
alimfp Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I don't know, but the prize would be a picture of Brad (just so someone could SEE him).
Novac Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 meanwhile you must have to wait and deal with people in the line ,kinda like reality shows.Even though :gddrama2:, this would work out well. There's plenty of reality show drama in those lines! From line-cutting arguments to new couples finding out that maybe they can't bear to be with each other in a long line for hours at a time . . . it could work. Maybe the application/audition process would be the first few weeks of the show, a la American Idol. They'd have to stand in line -- different people with different strategies: Camping out, line cutting, hiding in the store the night before , and all the rest. Like I said, that would be the first few weeks, before the "meaty" part of the show started. Different categories for the game: Coupon clipping, price matching, order-of-store strategy, etc. Clearly, the top contestants would all be GD regulars.
sevirj Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Yeah there should definitely be an obstacle course through the aisles involved: shopping carts, folks in those electric carts rolling around, little kids throwing toys, the works!
Grants Dad Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Survivor: Black Friday in Fargo, ND it's have all the great elements of the physical challenges, having enough clothes on to withstand the -10 windchill outside, but being nimble enough to evade fallen shoppers, and long checkout lines inside. Probably have to get a little of the Amazing race in there by going from store to store, and to throw a wrench in it, you have to be under a budget (rebates totally allowed).
Novac Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Probably have to get a little of the Amazing race in there by going from store to storeBest. Reality. Show. EVER! Another Event: "The Fallen Shopper Hurdle"
cleverbffool Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Another Event: "The Fallen Shopper Hurdle"I would so win that, ex track star in high school. The final prize at the end of the challenge would be everything you had on your list for free. ~*~Jess~*~
Cecilliadb Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 I think the items should have a point system and there are "secret" items hidden amongs the other stuff that are super deals but if you find them can ear mega points for an awesome final prize.
Novac Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 For The Amazing Race suggestion earlier: You should only be given a small amount of money at the beginning. You should start out with $5, and then you would have to partake in the "Make Money" rebate offers to earn enough to start buying. By the time Round 2 starts, you'd have to pay that $5 back, so you better make money off the first few rebates!
stationchief Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 This game show should require athletic ability (hurtling over other shoppers) and ajility (able to nab things fast). And, of course, this would be a very violent show.
Novac Posted October 6, 2006 Author Posted October 6, 2006 Perhaps there could be the lightning round. Three items are displayed with their standard retail price, the sale price, and one or two available rebates. Whoever buzzes first needs to correctly determine the best deal. They could also list the same item and the deals from three various stores, and shoppers/contestants would need to buzz in and call out which store to go to.
Rebirth Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Dave Attell (Host of Insominac) would be the host.
Novac Posted October 15, 2006 Author Posted October 15, 2006 How do you think people might win "immunity"?
SSLeGeNdArYbRoLi Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Maybe in 20 years or so, they might have a show called "World's Most Dangerous Black Fridays" on television.
phrogxix Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Doesn't anybody else remember Supermarket Sweep?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarket_Sweep I imagine it'd be a lot like that, except with more standing in the cold, not sleeping and pushing.
kulkel Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I'm thinking each person would be supplied with a specific list of items that are on in the BF ads. And after standing in the cold for hours and hours they (maybe 20-30 players) are allowed in the doors to complete the list in the least amount of time. Meanwhile the theme song would be another one bites the dust! With the prize being a timed shopping spree in the store of their choice (listed on BF).
