The Frame

Ten teams of two attempt to live in a stripped down version of their home living space all while isolated from the outside world, except for plasma screens that allowed interactions with their opponents.

Broadcast
The CW 2012 (the original year they wanted to air the series)

Gameplay
the show takes a couple and teams them up with nine other couples to compete against each other in a wide social experiment. This is by living in one Frame, a basic version of their home for eight weeks. With the whole world watching on, the couples don't see one another physically, but they are able to have visual and verbal contact with one another. Through challenges, head-to-head competitions, a couple will be eliminated from the series one by one. The viewers will be able to vote on who stays and who goes based on the soap-opera style of interactions. The last remaining couple to make it to the end would be able to get a cash prize.

Trivia
On March 23, 2012 it was announced on The Futon Critic website that the The Frame was shelved from making it to air.
