These are the two games I played today that I could pitch to NBC (in order of ascending humour as to avoid anticlimatic narrative instead of order of occurence):
The Weight is Right!
The Challenge:
Given a small suitcase and a large suitcase and two backpacks, pack essentials for the travels of three people for two weeks in a foreign country. Sounds simple, no? BUT: The small suitcase is stuffed full and starts 14lbs UNDER the weight limit. The large suitcase is only two thirds full but starts 2.5lbs OVER the weight limit.
The Timeline:
Time is not a factor, of greater concern is the husband who may "add" or "move" something when the contestant is not looking.
The Hidden Obsticles:
One person is gimoungous and wears Sasquatch-sized shoes. One person is of unknown size and must have clothes that will fit all possibilities of weight and height.
The Opportunity for Personal Growth:
Intrinsic weight training... lifting suitcases on and off the bed, to and from the bathroom scale, etc.
Last Minute Twist:
One word: Husband. He dawdles on what he has to pack, and retains the "right" to pack his shit last minute and fuck up the planning entirely.
... and two...
Walmart Wizard
The Challenge:
Complete a full shopping list of 11 items from 11 different departments:
Pink tshirt for a boy (Anti-Bully Day)
Shoelaces long enough for men's sneakers
Airplane snacks - one for him, one for her, one to share
Backpack; most efficient in terms of size and cost
Deck of Pokemon Cards for birthday present
Impulsive "that's cool!" birthday present
Yarn or Twine for luggage tags
Man's Wallet; most efficient in terms of less-likely-to-dump-stuff and cost
Power bar with surge protector
The Timeline:
Find and purchase within 25 minutes
The Hidden Obsticle:
Oh yeah, it's the last day before school starts so Walmart is a Madmart.
The Opportunity for Personal Growth:
Build your willpower by not buying the magazines you read while waiting in line.
The Last Minute Twist:
Line up in the 1-10 Item line with 11 things. Talk your way out of it.
And stay tuned for the continuation episode wherein the contestant returns to Walmart to argue she paid for two solar system light shades (the mysterious, impulsive present - how cool is that?) even though she only took one home.

Take the deal! Take the DEAL!! :)
I meant to add, those are much more interesting than the game we play around here. It's called "What's that smell??"
