According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS (NYSE: CBS) has greenlit a reality program that should turn out to be pretty funny. The show is titled Splitsville, and its premise centers on divorcing couples vying for assets via sundry competitions.
You know, just when you think they've covered every conceivable angle for a reality show, they come up with one that makes you say, "I should have thought of that!" Of course -- find divorcing people who really hate each other and then see how far they are willing to go to fight for the stuff generated during their union. I have no idea what the format the show is, but I can tell you that I dearly hope the producers utilize a few tricks from Fear Factor. Imagine allowing a dozen large tarantulas to crawl over your body so you can take the family toaster!
