(Eliza scribbled furiously.  This was such a great idea!  Why hadn't she thought of it before?  Behind the scences of a T V show that was a cross between a documentery and a game show!  This would be her fifty thousand word novel for sure!  Yeah, at the moment she was just writing down her ideas -- the contestents and the rules.  That was she could refer to them while she was writing to be consistant.  Editing would be less of a pain in December.  And after all, Capp planned too -- albeit during October -- and it would only take an hour or so.

 

 

 

Show:  Cape Summerland

 

A cross between documenty and game show, Survivor and Kid Nation, Sliders and Stargate SG-1

 

Setting:  A "parallel world/other planet" that was "jumped to" by scientists.  It is called Cesiator.  Once there was a small colony on it, but it has been abandoned.  This is what the audience is told.  It may or may not be true.  I haven't decided.  But the rumor is scientist are paying big money for this study on how people will create a society based on their own expirences.  Is history doomed to repeate itself?

 

Plot:  20 people, split up into two "teams" try to survive and create a functioning society together.

 

 

Host:  Elle Jae, a 19 year old student who came up with the idea for Cape Summerland.  She is youngest person to appear on the show.

 

Behind the scenes (Main Characters only)

 

Chico and Sno:  Two young girls (15 years each) who stowed away to be part of the show.  They were accepted onto the production team as people who held the sound boom things (need to look up the term -- T M C)

 

 

Dan and Casey:  Two men (35 and 42) who do the filming of Cape Summerland.  Both graduated from Western Washington Univeristy in Bellingham, WA.
