Reality television is the highest grossing television market out there. How many people watch reality television? More than scientists are willing to count. One network in particular has impacted the world of reality television and that is REALcom. REALcom specializes in surprise reality shows where most of the participants do not even realize they are on television. Recently REALcom stock has been dropping further and further due to hard economic times. In order to get stock prices back up REALcom was forced to come up with an idea for a new show... something that had never been done before.
Many wondered if REALcom had crossed ethical lines with their new idea, but it appealed to people with a general sense of curiosity. Their idea? REALcom would start a fake boarding school. Most of the teenagers invited would be unwanted, wards of the states, and even some teenagers who might have led an ordinary life. The point is... their parents agreed to secrecy and the students were led to believe they were going to a school, a special school that would enhance their character and abilities. None of them were told where they were going. The name of the island is only known by REALcom.
The staff, being mostly hired actors and actresses, maybe a few real teachers, are to keep track of the students and occasionally stir up some trouble every now and then. REALcom had happened upon their highest rating show yet. Each week the students are reported on by GHOST, the ever present authority of the island who sees all and knows all. The students know they are being watched by GHOST... but they have no clue about the millions all over the world who tune in every week for a new update.
Maybe it's wrong for REALcom to exploit the lives of these teenagers. Maybe it's wrong for them to use teenagers to better themselves. That's for you to decide.
