Here in the US, I just finished reading my British Editon (thank you, amazon.uk!) and I thought I'd add some of my own (fake) reality show titles to the ones in the book (therefore no spoilers):
So You Think You Can Swim?
Last Comic Breathing
Are You Smarter Than A Cheese Grater?
Celebrity Unsolvable Math Challenge! (This week: who will be the first to square the circle using only a straightedge and compass? Tune in to see who fails and who moves on to our Grand Finale: finding an integer solution to a^n + b^n = c^n for n>2 !)
(Well, I'd watch it, anyway…)
who's in more debt! : a show where contestest have one week to rack up the most debt and whoever wins get's all their bills payed off...(I feel sorry for the loser)
Well, MuseSusan, Tuesday's already managed to complete the Grand Finale...I think the Grand Finale should actually be "Prove that our entire structure of Maths is consistent". Far more epic - and useful!
Australian Idle
Who is the lazyist lay back aussie you vote for the person u think is the biggest bludger..only prob is that the winner should be the one who didn't get his mates or anyone to vote for him cos he couldn't be stuffed
Celebrity Death Bet... Viewers bet on which celebrity will die next prize money goes up in value depending on age meaning celebs at old age not worth as much. short price favorites odds for Lindsay Lohan Paris Hilton cos that's just too easy.

Didn't the kidney one actually happen in Holland or something (it was a joke by Endemol and the Dutch goverment to highlight the problems of lack of donors for transplants?).
I'd watch some program where the religious representative of your choice proves that the god of their choice actually exists in the form that they claim and said god actually confirms the dogma.
Either that or 'ask a politican for 10 straight answers'.
