It's a Mad Mad Sci Fi World
The Sci Fi Channel has released details about the first four episodes
of their new reality series, MAD MAD HOUSE, which will debut on Thursdays at
9 PM in March.
The show takes ten everyday people and sends them to live in a house
run by the "Alts," five people living alternative lifestyles, to try and win
$100,000. These five "Alts" consist of a Vampire, a Wiccan, a Naturist, a
Voodoo Priestess and a Modern Primitive. Each week the "Alts" will eliminate
one person from the house. They will be judging the contestants based on
their openness to and tolerance of alternative lifestyles, their
participation in house activities, and their willingness to get to know
their hosts.
The network describes the episodes as follows:
Thursday, March 4 @ 9 PM - SERIES PREMIERE!
The Guests arrive at the house and are shocked when they lay eyes on
their unconventional hosts. The Alts pick Guests for roommates. Iya Ta'Shia
(Voodoo Priestess) introduces the Guests to the sanctity of Voodoo, and
betrayal is the name of the game at the House's first elimination ceremony.
Thursday, March 11 @ 9 PM
Guests release their fears and reveal the scars of past trauma at
Fiona's (Witch) explosive ritual. Avocado (Naturist) introduces the Guests
to the barest of Naturist games. The Alts choose a new crop of Guests to
room with and an emotional elimination ceremony startles the Alts.
Thursday, March 18 @ 9 PM
Don (Vampire), Art (Modern Primitive) and some remaining Guests head
to the supermarket. Fiona invites the women of the house to a Wiccan goddess
ritual, much to the delight of the men. Iya Ta'Shia conducts her Voodoo
trial. The Alts each select a different Guest to room with and the
elimination ceremony exposes some in-house heartbreak.
Thursday, March 25 @ 9 PM
The seven remaining Guests are awoken by a "totally raw" Avocado
(Naturist), who takes them on a nature hike. Art's (Modern Primitive) trial
puts the Guests on lockdown. The Alts hold a secret meeting and decide to
dramatically change their strategy with their Guests. The Alts' new attitude
leads to a shocking elimination ceremony.
