Feast or Famine
Feast or Famine, a modern day Darwinian game show, separating the weak from the strong in a battle for life. The set, the scorching desert of Death Valley, California. The cast, four, three hundred pound, urban dwelling Americans. The catch, to keep their current weight. Tents, plenty of water, sun screen, and gear have been placed in the middle of the desert but no food will be provided. We then chose five qualifying participants through a series of survival skill tests, and those that made it are now the cast of “Feast or Famine”. The story behind these five unravel throughout the show. The characters include Dutch, a former Chippendale model, who ten years ago suffered a tragic tiki torch accident paralyzing his career, his downward spiral came to an end with being a used El Camino salesman. Libby, a preschool teacher has collected every issue of National Geographic magazine in her lifetime, she also likes long walks on the beach. Mick is an ex-convict who likes beer, women, and Harley’s. Mick’s ‘Hell’s Angels’ days have calloused his soul to weather any environment. And finally, Lester, a left wing activist who has spent years of his life living in treetops to help save Oregon’s forests, he grew up on a goat farm in Northern California, where there he was taught his survival skills by his grandfather, a retired green beret; he then moved to Dallas, Texas, where he suppressed the pain of leaving the goats with Whoppers. The object these four will strive to do is not lose weight. One of the favorite games that is played on Feast or Famine is ‘bunny burger’, this is where 20 rabbits are released and the cast runs around trying to catch them, if they get the rabbit with the tag ‘dinner’ on it, they get to eat rabbit that night. The desert is their destroyer, and the only weapon they have against it is themselves. It is survival of the fittest with a $1,000,000 grand prize for whomever loses the least weight.
