Reality television strikes again! The producers of Top Chef and Project Greenlight are teaming up with Lifetime for a new reality television show about marriage -- but this one has a twist. A big one.

The new show. Lifetime's Arranged Marriage, will feature men and women who have agreed to let their loved ones choose a spouse for them. Does anyone really trust their friends and family that much?

Arranged marriages are very common and successful in some cultures, but didn't we learn anything from Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire? It seems the lesson was that even if the marriage is a disaster, it's a good way to hook millions of viewers and get your 15 minutes of fame...

If you think you could spend the rest of your life with a partner your family chooses for you, you can apply now to be on the show. In addition to filling out the application for the show, please, please tell us in the comments why you think this is a good idea.
