Video game players and reality TV show fans may rarely seem to cross over, but the Syfy cable channel brought the two groups together with the WCG Ultimate Gamer series. This reality TV series put twelve gamers into a single loft and provided them with regular challenges. Each of these challenges resulted in one ultimate loser who was eliminated from the game.
The premise of the series was very similar to the Big Brother reality TV show. Every episode would involve both a Real Life Challenge and an Isolation Challenge. All of the contestants in the loft would compete in the episode's Real Life Challenge. This could be something like playing paintball or completing an obstacle course. Each of these challenges gave the players a clue about the video game that would be played in the Isolation Challenge. For example, the paintball challenge led into playing Halo 3. A
Following this challenge, players would then be sent to their individual rooms to play a game on the Xbox 360. This Isolation Challenge had only one winner. Whoever ended up with the highest combined score from both challenges would then select a gamer to play against whoever had the lowest combined score. The loser in this Elimination Challenge then had to leave the loft. In season 1, the winner could elect to play against the lowest scoring player themselves, but that rule was changed in season 2.
