If there was a reality show where you took attractive, single people from a tropical climate who had never seen snow or even experienced temperatures less than 55 f (Let's say Singapore, Bangkok, or something like that) and had them stay with a family in an extreme winter climate like Winnepeg, Yellowknife, or Fairbanks for a month, would you watch the show? Would you even find it interesting? Imagine the shock of going from thinking 70 F is cold to experiencing -20 on a regular basis. Add in some people drama, and the show would be a winner!

It sounds like it could work, but it's hard to imagine it as a whole series. Maybe better as a one off, or with different people/situations each episode.

It would depend on the situations involved- the people drama would have to be interesting- the weather alone won't carry the season.

Do they have to be attractive people? They p me off. Why not have a few ugly people in there getting all angry and arguing that would be funnier.

They'd have to have personalities more than anything.

Yeah I guess but I was thinking people like those who we see on the "Jeremy Kyle" show (look it up on youtube) here in the UK now that would be funny.

With very few exceptions, I find reality TV to be crude and uninteresting, and this hypothetical show would be no exception. It's just not a genre that I like to view.

Exactly. Young, attracting (or not) fake blondes and guidos in Singapore, who are shocked that the temps are higher than their IQ is nothing for me.
