The Renaissance Man

A New Game-show Idea

A Competition Show to find the Perfect Man

 

Premise:

   For 13 weeks, 10 men (Single, Married, Gay, Trans, Young or Old) compete in a variety of challenges; testing their life skills and abilities; from making gourmet dinner to re-plumbing a toilet.

 

Concept:

   In each episode, the Hostess introduces the initial and, consequently, the remaining contestants, as contestant are  eliminated. Each week’s challenge will be selected by “spinning” the large digital screen displaying the twenty-five challenges in the competition.

 

   Once the weekly skill is selected, Melissa will introduce that week’s guest female judge who is an expert in  field selected and will oversee as the men attempt to complete their challenge. A periodic “Monkey Wrench” will keep the contestants on their toes

 

   Each contestant will receive one “Free Pass” to be used at any time throughout the 13-week competition. ( It is better to receive zero points than be eliminated) Throughout the series, points are accumulated by each contestant as awarded by the guest judge:  1 point for participating, 2 points for the runner-up and 3 points for the winner of the challenge.

   After week 6, the contestant with the lowest accumulated score each week will be eliminated. Leaving three contestants for the finale where the points will be doubled.

1. Prepare a dinner party for 6 people
