My idea for a reality show . . .

You find, say, 10 really annoying people. Five men, five women. You audition as many as you have to, until you have found the ten most annoying people available. Then you make them all live together and film the results.

That's the extent of the gimmick. It'll be a smash. Why? Because, for some reason, people these days absolutely can't get enough of annoying people.

I really don't understand this. I personally avoid annoying people, every chance I get. But listening to other folks talking about these idiotic reality shows, for hours and hours and hours, convinces me that there is money to be made here.

Do you watch these things? If you do, think about the people you talk about the most to your friends. Are they the cool people, the ones you'd want to hang around with? Or the ones that you think need a good swift kick in the ass? Trust me, it's the latter that you find fascinating.

So, that's my pitch. Any producers out there, you can contact me about it.

I'll leave the casting and the watching up to other people. I just don't think I could handle it.
