A possible format for the G-Prize or X-Prize: Have a series of tasks in
a vacuum that the contestants would try to accomplish in a certain time
limit. The first task eliminates a good fraction of the contestants as
in _American Idol_. Each step of the contest could be televised. It
could be an entertaining show.

Having the first round of _American Idol_ (or its UK equivalents) conducted
in a vacuum would be a wonderful idea, and would eliminate a nice number of
contestants.
