GoFish, a video site devoted for "made-for-Internet" (MFI) programming debuted a new interactive reality show yesterday called Seduce A Celeb. It's still unclear, though, when the celebrities will actually appear on the show.
Emmy Award-winning Scott Sternberg said the celebs are Lindsey Knickerbocker and Ashley Zarlin, from Bravo Network's Real Housewives of Orange County, but that can't be right can it?
Not to toot my own horn, but,
This article has more digression than an ADD convention. Sorry about that.
"Seduce A Celeb represents the future of reality programming," said Sternberg. "Empowering audiences to create and interact on such an intimate level with one another and with celebrities is a concept that reinvents the dating show format. It's incredible what technological innovations are doing to traditional media concepts, and I'm thrilled to be working with
Knickerbocker and Zarlin (I'm assuming they're not housewives anymore) will have their affections competed over – just like in every other reality dating show in the history of reality dating shows – by (and here is an original twist, actually) by online contestants via web videos. Each "celeb" gets seven weeks to whittle them down.
The show is hosted by another sort-of celeb: Andrew Firestone, heir to the Firestone fortune and the love-interest of ABC's The Bachelor.
"It'll be thrilling to host GoFish's Seduce A Celeb, watching things unfold in a reality show from a different perspective as an objective observer and commentator," said Firestone. "The whole interactive concept gives a completely different spin on reality programming since anyone has a chance to win a date with a celebrity."
