Lindsay Lohan may be out, but Ryan Seacrest's Chance goes on

Chance's original premise, as tweeted by Ryan Seacrest, was that it would help people and give others a second shot. Apparently, the second shot angle has been dropped, and now they're just looking to make dreams come true.

Instead, the "reality game show" Chance is said to be "America's Got Talent meets Shark Tank." Rather than come to rich people with million-dollar ideas, these contestants approach the wealthy with their hopes and dreams. If they win them over, they get their dream financially backed. It could be an invention or a business, but it could just as easily be a drive to save the chipmunks. You know what, I'm still not really clear what they're looking for, but maybe that's the point.

I think I'm going to go compete on the show with my dream of independent wealth. I'll just explain to them that it's always been my dream to be independently wealthy. Think how happy I could be if I never had to do anything ever again for as long as I lived. Think they'll go for it?
