A show in which we follow the exploits of some random person over the next few weeks...without them knowing it.

At first it's just secretly filming them, following them around, all day, every day. As they begin to suspect something...

...the weird shit begins.

You know, like how we set up their new job, their new partner, their new apartment and suddenly take them away the very next day, without a trace?

Or how about dumping them in the middle of a foreign country in the middle of the night?

And we can't go without fabricating a criminal record and turning them over to the authorities, can we?

And to make it even more harrowing, they NEVER, EVER find out why the hell this is happening.

And no, they don't win anything.

In other words, your idea sounds like "The Game," but televised and the player doesn't know he's playing.

       Slick idea, but impractical. I'd like to think my family would let me in on the secret...   

       Right, mom. Mom?
