VH1 has scooped up a reality pilot in which office workers battle for a $50,000 bonus.
The recession-appropriate project locks a group of pencil-pushing employees in their workplace for 72 hours. During lockdown, staffers must try to convince their co-workers to vote for them. Whoever gets the most votes wins the bonus.
The project's working title is "Office Bonus," and 3 Ball ("The Biggest Loser," "MasterChef") is set to produce; Jd Roth, Todd Nelson and Adam Greener are executive producers. If greenlighted, the show would join 3 Ball's "Dad Camp" and "The Ocd Project" on the network.
This summer, VH1 also is launching Chad Ochocinco dating show "The Ultimate Catch" and Season 2 of Terrell Owens' reality effort "The T.O. Show." Both get under way July 11.

Having taught slovenly guys to be gentlemen, VH1 next plans to instruct unprepared men on how to be good fathers.
The network has ordered a new reality series from "The Biggest Loser" producer 3Ball Prods. tentatively titled "Dad Camp," in which first-time fathers receive a crash course in grown-up responsibilities.
"In a lot of ways, men aren't what they used to be," executive producer Jd Roth said. "We've made it so easy for men to walk away from their responsibilities. These guys still want to hang with their buddies, and it's time for them to man-up and take responsibility."
VH1 programming head Jeff Olde said the series was inspired by President Obama's call in June for fathers to "step up" and take responsibility for their children.
"Obama put that out there, and then 3Ball came in and pitched this," Olde said. "There are real-world emotional stakes involved. It's not about winning a prize.
