I'll just ignore this show. Reality TV is only as strong as you let it be. Ignore it and it withers and dies.While there are some reality shows that are actually well done, shows like these are begging to be taken off the air due to bad quality. I'll read the wikipedia entry just to see if they actually use a game that can pose a challenge to beat.
However, I will be pleasantly surprised if they make the gamers play through Nocturne. It would be great to watch the supposed "great gamers" be destroyed by it. Also hoping they have to play a shmup bullet hell, especially because they use scores so the players can compete in them. Those games are also very hard, unfortunately that is unlikely to happen, as they seem to be using multiplayer games. =/
I predict that they will use mostly shooter, sports, racing, fighting and Music games. Also Tetris, because it's Tetris. I do hope they include an RPG, strategy game, tactical RPG, I want to be the guy and a Shmup.

Some reality TV is smurfin awesome~
Ohh, God yes, that would be hilariously awesome beyond words. Unfortunately, it'll never happen because based on the games that are being played, they are avoiding any game with a user-interface flaw, which is more or less what IWBTG is all about. They would fail to see the wonderful satire of the game, and that the challenge is that it doesn't encourage stupidity, it punishes it, which is something most modern gamers would never be able to handle.
