A reality TV show is supposed to be coming in which ten teams compete with one another as to which, if any, has irrefutable proof of the existence of Bigfoot. The teams are to consist of people from various walks of life including scientists. Casting is supposed to be already under way. Needless to say, there are those among us, and I can't exclude myself, who would say it is a little ironic that the show is classified as falling into the reality genre. The upside is that it might bring some fun into the lives of the viewers but the downside is that it might result in some of them actually believing in Bigfoot and carrying the associated albatross for a long time. Per the article:

An upcoming TV show is offering $10 million for irrefutable proof of Bigfoot and people are lining up for their shot at making television history. According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter, “Spike TV announced Thursday a 10-episode pickup for 10 Million Dollar Big Foot Bounty, a new reality competition that's offering what would be the largest cash prize in TV history. The only catch is that the titular $10 million, backed by insurers of the bizarre at Lloyd's of London, can only be awarded to a contestant that provides irrefutable evidence that that Big Foot exists. Scientists, zoologists, trackers and actual Big Foot hunters are among the competitors the series is lining up, with casting already underway. Teams will present their evidence to Big Foot ‘experts’ in attempt to win the prize. And the 10 episodes will follow different teams tackling the search with different methods.”
