The producers of the TV show, "Survivor", following the huge success of the previous episodes, have chosen a new location for a future show. We have done a tropical island show and will soon air the Australian outback show, now we have chosen the venue for the next and probably most popular show ever. The newest "Survivor" show wil be on.......(Drum Roll).......the Castlebar.ie BULLETIN BOARD!
Eight contestants will be chosen from among the ranks of the castlebar.ie BB users. They will be chained to their chairs, in front of their computers for 39 days. Cameras and sound equipment will be installed in each contestant's house and they will be filmed every hour of every day. As the show begins, the contestants will settle in for a "virtual siege", a battle of wits and cunning on the Bulletin Board. Viewers, worldwide will be able to watch the weekly show and also monitor the activities on the Bulletin Board, as they unfold. Every 4 days, the internet "viewers" will be able to "e-mail" one of the players off the Bulletin Board. Until only one SURVIVOR remains.
"Viewers" on the internet will also be able to interact with the contestants as much as they wish, creating situations from which the contestants must escape. It will prove to be the most successful TV program in history. But first we will need the contestants.
So, we are asking for the BB users to nominate people to participate in the game. The contestants can be people on the BB, or anyone else - living or dead. (The magic of television can overcome even THAT obstacle).
Post your nomination, including a brief statement explaining the reason for your choice, then the contestants will be chosen from the nominees. Eight contestants enter..... only ONE will SURVIVE!!!
