Well, something that has been in my mind for a long time, is a reality show where the the goal is not to reduce the contestants by removing one, every episode. It wouldn't work well for Top Chef or Bachelor, any game which is looking for one winner. But it would work very well for, for instance, Survivor.
You have a constant prize for every contestant reaching the goal. No winner takes all.
The participants are allowed to help each others and cooperate.
Participants are removed by giving up, failing challenges, for medical reasons, or by the producers discretion, i.e. mental problems, violence etc.
Individual challenges are designed to be uncomfortable, embarrassing, painful, but doable, by grit and will alone. i.e. there will be no time limit or bar of skill which is unreachable for an average participant.
Team challenges are designed to make individuals, who are weak in the event, vulnerable. and to be essentially team challenges. They'd always offer the team a way to help a weak member, or weak members through, at the cost of strong members exerting themselves more, but also provide the team with a way to dispense a member who they consider dead meat, by abandoning them to fail the challenge.
However, workload tasks, provided on the side of challenges, will be progressively more painful with a smaller team. That is, the actual workload remains constant.
I'd imagine a show like that, for the social interaction and for following individuals, should be a lot more interesting than the average 'vote-someone-out' shows.
