The show would be called "The Ringer"
Here is how the show would work. It would originally start with 16 contestants who would all live in a house big brother style. In the show it would have 15 contestants who are mostly into modern day games. They are your typically reality show type of people. They are beautiful, arrogant, alpha people who like to talk trash on others, and then you would have me. And now here is how the rules of the reality show game would work.
Every single week two people are chosen by the group of people who are remaining to play a certain game for their survival. You guest it. That game would be Donkey Kong 3. In fact every single week it would be Donkey Kong 3. In the house there would be 4 different Donkey Kong 3 machines for the people to learn to play this game.
So this is why I think it would be so interesting. Here I am the only person of the bunch who is not a beautiful, arrogant, alpha person. I would sort of walk around the house being on the annoying side. Just be my usually carefree self. I would not let on that I was the Donkey Kong 3 champion. So the first week or so it would become abundantly clear that I was the low man on the totem pole. Since I would have such a low social ranking no one would notice really that I wasn't playing on one of the 4 Donkey Kong 3 machines in the house. They would assume I knew my place as the others practiced to get better.
So the comedy gold would happen during the first competition. They would chose me, and someone else they didn't like to go against me. They would probably think I was easy pickings since I didn't even touch the machine that week. The other 14 would be allowed to watch me go head to head. Soon they would realize that I was much, much, much better than I was letting on as I completely destroy whoever they have go against me.
Now of course this is where the show gets interesting. Now the group dynamics completely get turned on their head. Now they would realize I was a force to reckoned with. Now all of a sudden the 14 other Alpha people would realize that yes, they would be clear favorites in almost any other competition but in this one area they are far behind, and have 14 weeks to somehow catch up to me.
Now all of a sudden people are trying to team up with me. Trying to come to me for advice on how to play the game. All of a sudden my social ranking sky rockets simply because in order to have success in the game you need to be able to be good at Donkey Kong 3. I think at first I would be considered the "Good Guy" because I am not like the other people, but soon I think that would change. After a few weeks I would probably become the "Bad Guy" simply because I would have such a clear advantage, and now I have a lot more power than I did the first week out, and people like to root for the underdog. Something I clearly would not be.
So what do you think of the idea? I like it because I feel it's a great study on group dynamics in a way that I don't think has been done on television before. Also I would be the star of the show, and that would be pretty cool.
Edit: maybe calling it "The Ringer" wasn't the greatest idea. I have a feeling this thread might get a few "The Ringer" movie youtube clips.
