Sorority Junkyard Wars

[UB]'s comment about folks figuring out how to use machines gave me a great idea for a show. Junkyard Wars is a great show, but those folks are pretty dang skilled in the first place. They know how to work machines, plus they have an expert to advise them.

Sorority Junkyard Wars would pit 2 sororities against each other to build/make something out of junked parts. There would be no expert advice. Each machine would have the instruction manual and they would have internet access to look stuff up. They would have a week.

This would be a great show for many reasons:1 - fighting, bickering folks 2- group problem solving - how do the women approach the problem? Anarchically, division of labor, or what? 3 - complete novices learning how to do something useful and dangerous from scratch. 4 - women as makers and creators 5 - utter humiliating failure and jubilant, against all odds victory 6 - babes, babes babes!

Having this be sororities would make for better TV because college age women, especially the sorority set, are not generally expected to be capable in a machine shop. Both success and failure would make for a good show.

Certain sororities would be crowd favorites, because of individual skilled / flamboyant people, gritty team spirit, babe factor, or what not. These sororities would be brought back to compete against one another in the playoffs.
