Solitary 2.0

I'm pretty jaded toward reality shows. Survivor's just the same old stuff repackaged differently. And too many other shows use similar mechanics.

The Fox Reality Channel's controversial "Solitary" is a breath of fresh air to the genre. Contestants all compete for $50,000 while never even seeing each other faces or truly interacting with anyone. All contestants are simultaneously locked in individual "pods". Small rooms where they speak only with a computerized voice that sadistically plays with their minds and puts them through physical and psychological trials while deprived of sleep and food.

Anyone can leave at any time. No one is "voted off". You only lose by quitting.

Although I never saw season 1, season 2 just finished and has me anxious to watch more people willingly torture their own minds and bodies for some quick cash.

If you have this station in your cable programming, check your listings. They show repeats alot and I'd imagine it won't be long before they show all of this season's episodes again!
