Antione Malave, Discussion 7

The first episode of my newly directed political reality game show, the first of its kind called “Pour decisions”. It will feature five personalities from various racial, religious and gender backgrounds. These 5 guests will discuss topics ranging from todays political climate, dating, racial issues, music, ..nothing will be off the table. Seems like your normal reality show but there is a catch. Before a topic pops up on screen the guest are dealt five cards with specific instructions on them. For example a card in the deck may say ” the person whom you give this card to is no longer allowed to talk while using there hands” . If they violate these rules they are to do a shot. Perhaps a guest is in the midst of a heated debate regarding gender fluid bathrooms and they use their hands. They must do a shot but what if that guest has a double shot card in their deck?. The double shot card can be used in response, freeing you of any violations and given the opposition a bit more a buzz then they had hoped. Their are various scenarios similar to this that in my opinion put a friendly twist on tense discussions. Their is also one card in the deck that is a super ultra power card. What is the card you ask, and why is it called this magnificent name?. I am glad you asked, lets say for instance the holder of this card does not like the response of a guest regarding the question of female oppression this card allows the holder to distribute an edible to that person. The show should run about an hour. I would say this would need to be on a network like HBO or Netflix for its raw content , it would be even more exciting if we eventually got celebrities to take part in the debates . Fortunately or unfortunately we live in a time where celebrities are politicians and are allowed to speak for the masses. This kind of talks need to be had , especially now where people are afraid to actually have them. I feel this would be a beneficial to the world right now and comes on around 8:00pm on Thursdays.
