Future viewing audiences have become totally desensitized to violence and entirely dependent on sensation to escape their boring workaday lives - an addiction nurtured by the media with graphic portrayals of war and crime and with so-called reality programming.
Now, TV execs in pursuit of the only things they care about - higher ratings and bigger paychecks - have created the ultimate reality show: Seven people, each bearing the scars of his or her past, are deposited on an island in the middle of Lake Superior.
Given some bare necessities and the promise of $400,000 each if they can endure, the three women and four men risk death by starvation or freezing as the Great Lakes winter approaches. Their seven-month ordeal is entirely unscripted, they can't ask for help or they forfeit the prize, and as far as the network is concerned the fewer survivors the better.
