New reality show idea!

Captain's Log, Stardate 04.22.2009

Captain Caffeine and I have been talking again (I know, marvel concept!).

We happened to catch the last show of Rock of Love (with Brett Michaels) season ten or something like that (the boy gets around, that's for sure ... Captain says, "He's a rock star." As if that explains it all), and the Captain remarked, “You’ve got to come up with a really good reality show idea."

So, after the Amish vampire kung fu Asian triad idea, creative juices were still flowing and we came up with this:

Twelve contestants think they have to learn to live like the Amish in an Amish village. The TV show has remarkably found an Amish village they can film in.

The contestants have to learn Amish ways and “survive” for twelve weeks. The last contestant not booted out of the village gets a million bucks.

Little do they know ...

Come on, what true Amish community is going to let themselves be photographed? The “Amish village” is a fake! The contestants don’t get squat if they survive.

Except it’s “survive” in the truest sense of the word ...

The “Amish” people are actually kung fu assassins! And they fake-kill one contestant a week! So the contestants are dying off left and right!

The remaining contestants must figure out what’s going on and learn kung fu themselves! To try to defeat the assassin villagers!

(Think Survivor meets Harper’s Island.)

(Meets Kung Fu Panda.)

(Meets Witness.)

Don’t you just see the possibilities?????

And remember, you read it here first.

I like the idea. I think your husband should become a producer.

LOLOLOL!!! You and Captain Caffeine are riots!
It's a little like Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians," don't you think?

Perhaps a reality show about people sitting around trying to come up with workable ideas for a reality show--- they could be eliminated one by one from bloggers who "gong" them online!

Anonymous, Captain Caffeine likes the idea.

Delia, we're nuts. That's why we're married. :)

Jeanette, Harper's Island is fashioned after Ten Little Indians (at least that's what the trailers make it seem to be...there's a little girl voice over saying, "One by one..."). I loved that book. SO clever!

My hubby likes the idea, says he's watch it!! (And he laughed, it's very hard to make him laugh!!) :)

My hubby suggests instead of kung fu how about using UFC fighters? Anything involving UFC will got on the air these days!
Camy Tang said…
NeedANap2, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! THEY NEED TO BE UFC FIGHTERS!!!

Could you please tell my why we did not have any brainstorming sessions when I visited? Next time, we'd better do it, and Capt. Caffeine had better be invited. (And make lattes. But that's a given.)

I do love your husband... in a um, not awkward way... in the way I love you, but not so much. Cuz I like you better. You know, cuz you're a girl, and he's a boy, and boys stink. *phew!*

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...

She insulted a hat 👒 and ruined her Season

Welcome! My name is Camille Elliot, and I write Christian Regency Suspense with slow-burn romance and a touch of the supernatural. Thank you for— “Cut!” Lissa, one of my characters, shouts and stomps onto the stage. I stare at her. “I’m not filming a commercial.” “It doesn’t matter. You’re being boring.” I shift uncomfortably, because she’s probably right. “Well then, what should I say? I’m writing a blog post for someone who doesn’t know anything about my books.” “If you start with pleasantries, I will hide your tea,” she threatens. “ All of it.” I gasp in horror. “You wouldn’t!” “Try me!” “I was just going to ask readers to subscribe to my newsletter.” “I shall topple into the shrubbery as I fall dead asleep on my feet.” “Rude,” I mutter. “Maybe start with an explosion. Or at least a hideous hat that ruins my reputation forever.” “Your reputation wasn’t ruined,” I protest. “You were simply unfortunately overheard.” “As I insulted a hat.” “Then maybe you shouldn’t insu...

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...

Mansfield Park (BBC 1986)

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Blog book giveaway: To enter, go to the blog links below and post a comment there. Valley of Betrayal by Tricia Goyer It Happens Every Spring by Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer Jane Austen miniseries I love Jane Austen. She’s my favorite classic writer, and I even bought audiobooks of her novels and listen to them again and again. I also love Amazon.com and visit my Gold Box every day (not that I buy that often). One day I had a deal for the entire set of DVDs of miniseries produced by BBC of Jane Austen’s novels. No, I didn’t buy the set—but it made me curious, and so I put the miniseries on my Netflix queue. The miniseries are all rather old. I just finished Mansfield Park . I’m quite divided on it. Costumes: score 4. They were mostly really rather nice, appropriate to the character’s background and income, and not too flamboyant, although there were several places the women’s headgear was just way over the top. Acting: score 4. I l...
