New Reality Show Alert! : Fox's "Unan1mous"

Tuesday February 21, 2006
Okay, people. Here's the deal.The new Fox reality show Unan1mous will put nine strangers in a bunker. They will remain in the bunker until they can decide unanimously who will win a $1.5 million cash prize. That means we will have no idea when the show will end. It could end after one episode or it can go on for quite some time. Here are some important points about the show from Fox's press release:

  • Upon entering their isolated living quarters, the nine contestants are cut off from the outside world, locked away, and presented the opportunity to win $1.5 million.

  • The only thing standing between them and the money is a simple vote. If they are able to come to a unanimous decision about who should win the money, the game is over.

  • If the outcome of the vote is not unanimous, the money clock is activated and the cash prize begins its countdown with potentially thousands of dollars lost every hour until the next voting period.

  • In every episode, each of the nine contestants, who include a minister, an atheist, a ladies' man and a feminist, must convince the others to vote only for him or her. Before the vote, personal facts, secrets and lies are revealed, perhaps helping them decide who should receive the money.

  • As the game progresses, contestants will be eliminated from winning the cash prize, but – in a television first – they will continue to live in the bunker and will continue to vote.

    Unan1mous premieres Wednesday, March 22 at 9:30 pm ET.
