guessing games

ooh... don't you like guessing games on tv?

there's a new show on tv, "Harper's Island", which lets you have some suspense and guessing games too! It airs on every friday in US, while in Singapore, it shows on Sundays. Last week just had the pilot episode. A total of 13 episodes and only have one season (not like most drama that drags on to forever never ending episodes until the scriptwriter ran out of ideas and it isn't interesting anymore)

well, the plot is this. A group of people attend a wedding reunion in an island, where gruelsome murders happened some years ago and the killer is dead. And guess what? this group of visitor shall meet their doom when they set foot on this island. At least one person get killed for each episode. So, the guessing begins... who is the killer? who is the next victim?

what's even more interesting is that the actors who acted in it did not receive their full scripts. They only get the scripts for that particular episode. So, they were kept dark on who is the killer as well. Ahhh.. must be really suspense for the actors. Everytime they get their scripts, they would also think, "Am I the next victim? or I'm still surviving?" They would be guessing who is the killer as well.

It's kinda cool to have this sort of idea from the creator. It's like drama + reality show. But I hope the ending isn't so predictable. So far, the pilot episode builds up the characters' story, and there are really a lot of characters in it. And the series is not as gruelsome as I thought it was supposed to be ( I still think the most gross killing film is still "Saw"). Yup. Up till now, 2 person was killed. Can't wait to know who is the killer.

Another reality tv show I liked which had contestants play guessing game is "The Mole". It's not a very popular show here but somehow I watched it way back in high school days and could still remember enjoying the show. The idea is this, this group of contestants will be working as a team to play challenges that add money to their prize, which only one person can win it in the end. The catch is here, there will be a person called as "the mole" who will be sabotaging the group's prize money. Contestants will need to identify the identity of the mole. So, at the end of each episode, contestants will need to answer a few multiple choice questions on who they think is the mole. The person with the least correct answer will get eliminated.

Quite fun right? wish I could participate such a game too. i mean reality shows like "the mole" and not "harper's island". I don't wanna get killed. hehe
