2. (Special Living Arrangement)
This we can likely do easily, since it is getting strangers together, putting them in a living situation we create, and then give them some sort of task. Plenty of un-employed, plenty of empty lots and houses, variety of tasks.
Heck, pick ten people and give them a large lot. Now tell them they have to work together, make money, create a place to live, start a business. Total vacuum of structure, lots of space for personalities to fill in and lead to conflict.
Film the people as they form a group, decide on a course of action, the obstacles they will encounter in trying to start something in the Imperial Valley.
3. (Professional Activities)
'professionals either going about day-to-day business or performing an entire project over the course of a series'
So, we can pick Border and Customs (like that show for Austrailia), farming industry, and what else? Schools?
4. (Elimination/Game Show)
'Another type of reality TV is 'reality-competition', or so-called 'reality game shows', in which participants are filmed competing to win a prize, often while living together in a confined environment. In many cases, participants are removed until only one person or team remains, who/which is then declared the winner. Usually this is done by eliminating participants one at a time, in balloon debate style, through either disapproval voting or by voting for the most popular choice to win. Voting is done by either the viewing audience, the show's own participants, a panel of judges, or some combination of the three. (These programs have also been called 'game operas,''
