Justin Timberlake’s Phone

Justin Timberlake announced at this past weekend’s MTV Upfronts that he’s going to produce a new reality show for MTV called ‘The Phone’. The show is based on a Dutch TV show which pits contestants in a timed race to accomplish a mission and win a cash prize. Each episode begins with two phones placed at opposite ends of a city. Once the phone is answered, players are given 5 seconds to decide by a mysterious guide if they want to play the game. Contestants communicate via phone to succeed. The guide will also communicate with them as a helicopter tracks their every move and any error. A failed task will chip away at the cash prize. The show will air this fall.
