A Russian reality show in which crimes such as rape and murder are "allowed" is to be launched next year, according to reports. The TV show, called "Game2: Winter," will see 30 male and female contestants seek to stay alive in wilderness populated with bears and wolves for nine months with the surviving receiving a $1.6m prize, the Siberian Times reported. Organisers have boasted that "everything is allowed", including rape and murder, and contestants will reportedly be required to sign a waiver acknowledging that they could be subject to such attacks.

An advert for the show reads: "Each contestant gives consent that they could be maimed, even killed. 2,000 cameras, 900 hectares and 30 lives. Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything."

2 of these are not like the others.

ETA: I'm not sure if it's the alcohol and smoking or murder and rape though.

It's logical that alcohol and smoking are right up there with murder and rape.

Will they give them knives and guns as well or will they have to earn their murder tally?

Sounds like the creators of Running man were not too far off.

That's roughly 3.5 sq miles. In an area that large, I'm quite certain I would not be visible to the other 29 competitors.

But would-be participants are also warned that Russian criminal procedures will still apply and that police are free to arrest anyone who commits a crime on the show.

The rules state: "You must understand that the police will come and take you away. We are on the territory of Russia, and obey the laws of the Russian Federation."
