Reality Tv Show - Cheetahs

At class we were assigned to create the concept of a reality tv show. My team and I went up to Score room to sit at comfortable sofas and bounce ideas back and forth until we reached something we were all happy with.

Our Concept: Cheetahs (Like 'cheaters' but my team liked the play of words with the animal)

We came to the idea of creating a competitive reality tv show where students try to get the best grade possible in a class to win a reward. The class should be of a particular difficulty as to really challenge the students. This would take place in an ordinary school.

Astrophysics would be presumably a difficult topic for art students.

Primary aim: Known to all participants, the aim is to get the best grades possible in an astrophysics class. The student with the top grade will be rewarded with a scholarship to the school/university of their choosing.

Secondary aim: Unbeknownst to all, 3 to 4 participants would have different study backgrounds than the rest (I.E. art students). These students would be told separately that they are the only ones that don't belong in the group. They will be told that they must do all they can to get the best grades while at the same time keeping their background hidden. They must pretend to know as much as the regular students. Bluffing and cheating would become necessary. They would not know that there are others bluffing their way to the top as well.

Students that are caught cheating would be automatically removed from the competition. So they would have to either really find a way to learn and understand everything they need, or they would have to cheat and bluff.

Would they cheat, or strive to be better?

• It's called Cheetahs because of the dual play of words with the word 'cheaters'.
• Students try to get the best grade during a semester of school.
• It's competitive because participants need to do their best to attain the best possible score.
• It's educational because it would present the class with real world information.
• It makes it different because it's educational at it's base, but also deals with the human nature of dishonesty and 'cruising' through classes without real understanding of them.
• Other media can be involved by perhaps hinting on the nature of the 'secret' individuals. Participants would be unaware of the existence of these secret students, but the audience would probably be actively trying to figure who they are and would pay extra attention to the signs of dishonesty.
