Sarah Palin | Reality show picked up by Discovery
March 29th, 2010
Just a short time after Sarah Palin and “Survivor” producer Mark Burnett started shopping around for Sarah Palin reality show buyers, Discovery network appears to have taken out low interest loans to pay for the winning bid. While representatives of Discovery have yet to comment, many news sources have reported that Sarah Palin's reality show will be an “Alaskan Travelogue”. Sarah Palin's reality show will be the most expensive show Discovery Networks has ever produced, beating their $25 million “Earth” series.
Sarah Palin's reality show plans
The Sarah Palin reality show is sure to draw in viewers; she is one of the most controversial women in American politics. Reportedly, the reality show on Discovery networks will draw over $1 million per episode for Sarah Palin and her family. Sarah Palin is not entirely new to reality TV – she did make a cameo appearance in a 2008 documentary on the Iditarod race. The Sarah Palin reality show has yet to be named, and a release date has not been set either. The producer of the Sarah Palin reality show say it will be more of a travelogue that “will center on interesting characters, traditions and attractions in the 49th state – with the ex-VP candidate as a guide”.
Sarah Palin's opinion of reality shows
Sarah Palin's relationship with the media has not always been a comfortable one. In her book “Going Rogue” Sarah Palin said several times that she saw the media as “intrusive” and “difficult to handle”. Sarah has always been protective of her family, and in previous interviews she has said she did not want a reality show, and instead wanted the media to “leave them alone”. Sarah Palin herself does not shy away from media attention, though – she is now a FOX news commentator. Since bursting onto the scene as a Vice-Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin has gotten more than a few guaranteed payday loans on her celebrity.
