Crossing Borders: Reality TV show treatment

A THOUSAND DOLLARS?!?!?!? FOR WHAT?!?!? This is a reality TV show treatment I wrote that was under development with Imagination TV until they folded during the crash of 2008. I've tapped out my contacts, but I still think someone with the right contacts could get it done, and it could be huge. The upside? If you sell it, you could make 5 to 10 grand on it. The downside? Everyone who ponies up the $1,000 has a shot. So do you have the juice to make your 10 to 1 bet pay off?
