Temptation Camelot

Just like the hit TV show Temptation Island, cameras will be entering Camelot as 3 couples are put to the test, King Arthur & Guinevere, Lord & Lady Bertilak, and Olwen & Culhwch will all put their relationships on the line and see if they are destined for one another or belong with other people. Upon arrival into Camelot the men and women will be split into two different houses. The women will be living with 8 single men, while the men will be living with 8 single women. Some key players this season are Lancelot, Elaine, Kay, Morgan, and Gawain. Every week there will be a chance to go on a date. Whoever gets the date card can ask anyone in the house to accompany them, however, couples can block their significant other from going out on a date with one person. Additionally, couples will be wearing a token to remind them of their relationship. At the end of each week individuals will be voted out of Camelot. To ensure that one makes it to the next week they need to form a relationship with a person who is in a couple.  Couples will not be able to talk to one another through the duration of the season. At the end of the season, the couples are reunited and make the decision if they want to be together or break it off. If a couple were to remain together and resist temptation, they will receive the grand prize of an all-expenses-paid trip to the Island of Avalon and a gorgeous mantle.

  1. Megan and Brandon - I am intrigued by your project and curious to see where it takes you! I admit I have never seen this show (I have a pretty low tolerance for this kind of reality tv!) but it sounds like you have a lot of really obvious connections that can be made to courtly love.

    A few questions to help you develop your idea further and write a really strong pitch letter: How will you bring some of the ideas of the medieval tales into your show? Why do you think that these specific characters add something to today's reality TV landscape? How can the values and virtues of the Arthurian legends help to develop your show's plot?

    I look forward to seeing your project!

  2. This sounds like it'll be a crazy show... just like the Arthur stories! Will there be any games/challenges for the participants to try to cause tension? Is the award mantle a trick like in the story, or a real one?

  3. Hi Megan and Brandon! My question for you is how do they win the block cards? Do the men have to go on a "quest" to stop their lover from going on with someone else? I think that this is going to turn out to be a really cool idea and could easily be incorporated.

  4. I think this sounds hilarious and really fun to watch, but how would you connect this story to the other texts we have read? like how would these characters be identifiable as the ones we have been reading about? Maybe bringing in some concepts of chivalry could be funny and ironic
