SAN FRANCISCO, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The celebrity producer behind the
Paris Hilton tapes is taking on Donald Trump in a Bay-Area battle for reality
TV's biggest audience.
Kevin Blatt made one of the best-selling videos of all time and shattered
the mold of popular entertainment. Now he's taking on reality TV, describing
his new show "The Ultimate, Ultimate Challenge" as "the most shocking and
brutal contest in reality show history."
Blatt is holding auditions in San Francisco this Saturday, July 16th, in a
deliberate effort to trump NBC's hit "The Apprentice" and mock The Donald's
reputation for toughness. "My show makes 'The Apprentice' look like band
camp," Blatt says. "There are no limits, no weak links."
Combining his resume and extreme entertainment, Blatt finds San Francisco
to be the perfect launch pad for the next phase of reality TV. He claims
reality shows stop far short of the hardcore action audiences really want to
see, and the Golden Gate is ground zero for progressive entertainment.
"I'm taking reality TV beyond the rules, where viewers want it to go,"
says Blatt.
For now, Blatt is putting aside hotel heiresses and public scandal and
brags that "The Ultimate, Ultimate Challenge" combines physical and mental
tests never seen before on television. "We'll push contestants beyond their
endurance, to the limits of their lives." We'll see if San Francisco is up to
the Challenge.
Auditions for "The Ultimate, Ultimate Challenge" are scheduled for
Saturday, July 16th, 1-4 pm at the U Street Lounge, 1980 Union Street, San
Francisco.
"The Ultimate, Ultimate Challenge" is produced by Ultimate Challenge
Productions in association with D-Money Presents. Kevin Blatt - Executive
Producer, Myles Yates - Supervising Producer, Gil S. Ripley and Dave Roberts -
Show Creators, George Gray - Host.
Candidates for "The Ultimate, Ultimate Challenge" must be at least 18
years of age; must be in excellent physical and mental health; must not now be
a candidate for public office and must agree not to become one until six
months after initial broadcast of all programs in which they appear, and must
not be a member of any professional acting guild or union organization.
