[Let's give this another shot, shall we? There was plenty of interest last time, but there were some things that got out of control. Mostly, I believe I mishandled some of the balancing issues of the game. I believe this should help a bit.]
The nameless TV executive determined never to finish her coffee has returned. After submitting the tapes, her pilot for a reality transformation TV show got the green light. The producers gave her a few caveats that she was willing to live with, and the show is now ready for prime time production!To ensure the number crunchers in the office are happy, she sent out 1000 invites for auditions. This ensures a randomized sample of the population, and prevents the poor saps from knowing about the show beforehand.
What the contestants know:
This is a new reality TV show, focusing on relationships in close quarters. All the cast members will live in a mansion in a compound for a few weeks to a couple of months. All wants and needs will be met, but the cast cannot leave the compound. Phone calls will be monitored, and only one per week allowed.
The auditions were standard fare: Background questions, personality tests, etc. No singing and dancing required, but no one would have stopped it.
Upon passing the auditions, each cast member signed a non-disclosure agreement about the show and filled out necessary medical forms and a waiver.
What's really going on:
The forms contain (in brilliantly small and complicated legalese) a power of attorney, last will and testament, and a binding contract to the studio's name. Upon signing, that woman owns you!While setting the cast up into the mansion, the Caffeinatrix will scour through the audition videos to set up the perfect dysfunctional harem. Once decided upon, the appropriate cast members will be transformed, and they'll be trapped in the mansion until one of two things occurs. Option 1: The suitors physically harm the harem king so badly that he'll be hospitalized for the rest of the season. Option 2: One (or more) of the suitors falls for the king, and he falls for her(them).
------------------------
The nature of the game:
All players, save one, will be TF'd at the beginning. You will then have free reign of the compound (Don' worry, it'll be just big enough) to do whatever you wish. Your characters will be left entirely in the dark as to how or why they've been TF'd: If you'd like to find out, polish your sleuthing skills. There will be activities presented to you, and you can choose whether or not to participate in them. Every now and then, you'll get a chance to have a "confessional" by yourself to the cameras. I'll poke you OOCly, and as part of your normal post, just let your character vent about everything that's happened up to that point.

How to apply:

Short Background/Bio:
Be the King: (Tell me if you'd be interested in being the harem king or not. I won't force people into it if they don't want it.)
Preferred TF: (General physical description, any mental changes/quirks you'd be okay with. Also, supply a pic or request one if desired)
Personality test: [Answer the questions from the point of view of the character. This, combined with your TF preferences, will be used to put your character in as entertaining a situation as possible]
