How about a reality show featuring Amy, Saint Calvin and their entire family....
That, imo, would get great ratings..
Mutter, Vater, upper, overdover and their spouses...
Episode one.....Christmas with the Hollars.  rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1

It's "Choot it Lizbeth Choot it"   rflmao1  with the last weeks of rain we don't need to flood the track nature has done that for us.   SERIOUSLY THO.......... A true reality show from the grandstand to the backside and racetrack between.  It could be done and would be a great watch if you could avoid the lawsuits it would generate   noway

Years ago I suggested a Harness reality show as a means of making harness racing more popular.
We saw a t-bred show a while back, but not reality-enough in my HO.  Giss Has a good point about swamp.  I also like Wars as a possible word to employ.  (Storage Wars  is my fav.  Yuuup)

The Hollars are not dysfunctional enough.  We know there are some really screwed -up folks on the backstretch.  Sex is big on the backstretch and we all know sex sells!.  Nothing like some rolls in the hay on a steamy summer night to pump up ratings.

Racing Wars- Northfield-- features Six Back Mary- drivers show up with a six pack and--o well-you know.

Survivor- Lebanon- a group of starngers are left naked on the backstretch and have to drink from water buckets and eat horse food.  Just think of the challenges you could have!
