It is said that the simplest ideas are often the best ones. If that’s the case, FOX’s newest reality show, Unan1mous, should be a smash hit. With the advantage of an American Idol lead-in, the show will center on 9 people who are locked in a bunker, and cannot come out until they all agree on which contestant should win a cash prize.

Yikes! How long will it take?

The premise of “Unan1mous” is pretty simple. Nine people are shuttered inside a bunker and told to debate among themselves who should receive a prize of $1.5 million. They can’t leave, however, until they reach a, you guessed it, unanimous decision on who that should be.

If their first vote is not unanimous, however, the prize starts to get smaller and keeps dropping until the group does come to an unopposed decision. Theoretically, the winner could walk out with nothing.

Some contestants will be eliminated from contention for the prize as the game wears on, but they’ll have to stay in the bunker with the rest of the players and will continue to cast votes on who should win.
