1. This is a great idea!

I'm sure there are many people who would watch this, and I expect you could sell them all sorts of services.

But how would you find the people who would be willing to take part? Taiwanese are pretty cagey about admitting that they have made mistakes, so it would not be easy to persuade them to let a camera crew into their homes.

I'm trying to think about what sort of people would co-operate, and all I can think of is "people who want publicity" - which may not be a bad thing.

You may get a public figure or two who wants to try and get some mileage out of the "my struggle against debt/alcoholism" thing. It could be a great way to rehabilitate someone who's popularity has fallen recently. Then there would also be all the wannabe famous people. Some would probably go out and spend on their cards just to qualify for the show if it meant 30 minutes of being a TV star.

And how about companies? "Wow, you really do have a great hotel and a wonderful location, but you're not profitable. Why don't you offer these special deals which we will kindly tell everybody in TV-land about?" - It would be especially good if it was one of those shows where you follow-up every few months. There are plenty of struggling businesses out there who would like to have some publicity, especially if there were "experts" telling the public about how great they are.

Politicians? Campaign finances in a mess? Maybe not, but maybe.

Schools, with an educational program attached?
