    Fox integrates reality with ‘Daddy searching’

    MUMBAI: Talk about innovative but absolutely bizzare reality-TV format shows.

    The newest bet at Fox is a 90-minute special called Who’s Your Daddy?, in which a young woman who was given up for adoption as a baby meets her biological father, on Monday, Jan 3 2005.

    The show will introduce this woman to eight men, each of whom claims to be her father. The high-point of the show is when she interviews each of them based on the scant knowledge she has of her biological dad and eliminates the ones she thinks are lying.

    So, What’s the real game about anyway? Money. Should the daughter correctly guess which of the eight men is her dad, she wins $100,000. Whereas, If she picks one of the impostors, he gets the cash.

    Whatever the outcome, Fox promises to reunite father and daughter by the end of the show.

    Finola Hughes, a former star of All My Children (get it?) and current host of the Style Network’s How Do I Look?, will host the special.

    Who’s Your Daddy? is executive produced by “Scare Tactics” creators Scott Hallock and Kevin Healey along with Ken Mok (America’s Next Top Model).

    UPN to strut its stuff with 2nd season of dramality show

    NEW YORK: Cable network UPN’s reality show America’s Next Top Model is going from strength to strength. The hit dramality series featuring world-renowned supermodel Tyra Banks, returns for a second cycle of 10 episodes.
     

    As was the case with the first cycle women will fiercely compete for their chance at a grand prize package that includes a modeling contract. The show kicks off on 13 January 2004. An official release informs that the first cycle was UPNs highest-rated programme last season among all adult women.

    The show was created by Banks, who serves as executive producer along with Ken Mok. It aims at exposing the transformation of everyday young women into potentially fierce top models. They live together in a New York loft and vie for the grand prize. Cameras catch each moment as participants face weekly tests that determine who makes the cut. With mentoring by Banks and exposure to high-profile fashion industry gurus, the finalists compete in a highly accelerated modeling boot camp — a crash course to top model fame.

    The 12 participants will struggle to demonstrate both inner and outer beauty. They do their level best to master complicated cat walks, intense physical fitness, fashion photo shoots and perfect publicity skills. The group will also take an overseas trip to a destination that is one of the modeling industry’s most competitive cities in the world.
