Version of "The Murder Game" (2003)

Good idea, bad contestants

In Fox's next "reality" show, a bunch of people try to solve a FICTIONAL murder mystery. The reason I put "fictional" in bold type is because apparently some of the contestants don't grasp this concept. They say how scared they are, pray, cry and carry on. Are they told by the producers to act this way?? They do know this is a game right? Also, just like in most "reality" shows, the contestants are constantly fighting (over stupid things). I like the actors, I like the premise for the show, but I wish they would just find normal people to play instead of immature idiots.
