If you thought The Singing Bee was bad, wait till you get a load of this. TLC is premiering it's new show The Singing Office at the end of June. The show will be hosted by ex-*NSYNCer Joey Fatone and ex-Spice Girl Mel B. Each week, Joey and Mel B. will surprise a different office and hold an impromptu audition. From each location, they will recruit a team of five for the next round of competiton. Once formed, the teams will go to "boot camp" as the hosts coach the teams on both their performance quality and their singing. Finally, the teams will compete on stage for a shot at $50,000.Joey's excited about his new show: "It's been great getting people to show off their singing talents and giving them a chance to live out their dreams on stage. You can tell they're loving this unexpected opportunity."
This looks slightly interesting but here's my question: what's with the grand prize? $50,000? Split between five team members? What's that after taxes? I'm curious to see what kind of talent they get.
The Singing Bee premieres on Sunday June 29th at 9 p.m. ET/PT on TLC. Will you be watching?

It's roughly half of that. I wouldn't embarrass myself on national tv for that kind of money.

For five grand I know a few people who would hold a loaded gun up to their mother's head.

I'm amused that as the number of reality tv shows increases, the prize amount decreases -
