RF Reality TV - Casting

So, come on now. We all knew that sooner or later RF would be turned into a reality TV show.

The drama of hot members discussing the merits of religion!
The tension of intellectual discussions being sidetracked by new members posting about erection medication!
The high comedy of Revoltingest getting his arm stuck down a toilet!
The simple fact that everything else has already been done!

If we want RF to be a successful reality show, though, we need to cast it carefully. There are certain 'roles' that need to be fulfilled on any good reality show (and all the bad ones, near as I can tell). So who fills these roles, and why?? And please, PLEASE remember, this is a joke thread...so get your funny on, and try not to hurt feelings. Or I'll evict ya! ;)

The Guy/Girl Who is Not Here to Make Friends

The bad guy/girl. The one who is brutal, and who doesn't care if others think they're nasty. You could also see them as honest, and unwilling to *****-foot around. Direct. Not playing the game of reality tv. Apart from the fact that they went through the audition process, of course. :shrug:

The Meltdown

Someone ready to go off tap at a moment's notice. This could be due to alchohol (Sunstone, Alceste, and myself have all been known to post under the influence, for example), or pressure points that drive them bat-guano crazy momentarily.
We're not looking for trolls or incoherent ramblers. That's too easy. We're looking for sensible folk who lose their junk occasionally. Hopefully in an amusing way.

The Dramatic Eviction Prince/Princess

We need someone that is going to turn their eviction into a ratings bonanza. We want tears. We want proclamations of eternal friendship, or lifelong hatred. We want fist-pumping when others are booted, and righteous indignation when on the receiving end.

The A-gamer

We need someone willing to bring their A-game. Or at least, someone willing to spend half the show telling the camera that they're bringing their A-game. Whether they actually do or not is kinda beside the point.

The eye candy

Male or female, we're not fussy. Who is going to take the role of eye candy on the show? Lot's of super slo-mo shots, flicking hair during debates over the veracity of the Old Testament, long, sideways glances at the Tree of Life in the back garden...that sorta thing.

The hookup (2 roles)

We need a couple who bridge their differences on the show, and fall helplessly (and hopelessly) in love. Preferably, they should be in relationships on the outside, as this will add to exposure in gossip magazines. All relationship types accepted, but would prefer only humans involved due to potential lawsuits.

The People's Chamption

Finally, we need an everyman or everywoman. Someone who seems grounded, likeable, and normal (in other words, completely different to the rest of the cast).

===================================================

Please note, some of these roles (bit not the descriptions) were taken from the following site;
The Top Reality Show Cliches | The Joe Schmo Show | SPIKE


So, come on! 8 roles, 8 posters. Who would you put on the casting couch!

All right...I'm going to put down my votes...lessee here...

The Guy/Girl Who is Not Here to Make Friends

Smart Guy. He's very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very subtle about it though.

The Meltdown

I'm going with Alceste. We all gotta chip in and buy her a dozen bottles of decent Pinot, then put up some troll threads about introducing new laws to promote violence against the physically handicapped. Then just hold our hands up, and keep them warm by the flames of her posts.

;)

The Dramatic Eviction Prince/Princess

Gotta be 4con. As simple evidence, please consider gems such as this...

Oh, yeah? Well...

...lo ek dkluhlkfg slkhudgh;o ehkl egu ;lsegil8ul uah ;o cer knggioagh;kjhkh...kuhgdskulegslk.;ljlseulierksdangkuyk

...and another thing...

I didn't really want to be on the team, anyway! Humph! :p

From here : http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/games-pics-jokes-stories/167409-nominate-rfs-enforcers.html

The A-gamer

LuisDantes. He posts more serious answers to ridiculous troll threads than anyone else I can think of. Heck, there's a 50/50 chance he'll even respond to this piece of literary junk.

The eye candy

Obviously modesty doesn't allow me to vote for myself. So I'm going with Kerr. His lack of an icon adds mystery, and his recent concerns about not being straight enough means he'll go well with the self-hating redneck homosexual fans.

The hookup (2 roles)

Has to be Revoltingest and Wirey. I've see the goo-goo eyes they've made across a crowded jokes thread, and frankly, it makes me a little ill. But then, I'm only ASSUMING Rev promised to be faithful to his toilet bowl. It might be all above board.

The People's Champion

This is a tough one. Mainly because the criteria included 'normal', and who the heck posts on a religious board that's normal?
So I'm going with Vinayaka. I don't remember him making as many ridiculous posts as most of you weirdos do.

Oh, trust me, Vinayaka just pretends to be reasonable and normal!

It makes EVERYONE a little Kim Jong-Il. I am surprised they haven't announced a wedding yet... I guess Rev is stilling trying to get the engagement ring he bought out of the toilet.

For the meltdown I recommend Nick Liberty. As for eye candies I am confused between Viker and Starry Nightshade.

What we need is some comedy relief: I nominate Revoltingest, Wirey, and Sunstone for this. A few laughs makes the show a little bit more watchable. Maybe.

One problem with extending the cast numbers is that you're automatically cutting our potential audience...

I vote for Lewis. For everything. He talks to himself and all his other selves.

It could be like a Man vs Wild show, except in a Big Brother mansion, with nobody to have conflicts with except himself.

I'd buy that for a dollar! :yes:

There needs to be about 20 people off in the background doing actual weird things, because the front of the stage will be too normal.

Not sure if inner demons poo though, and if so, is it edible??
