gridlore"Siege House"
Sixteen people are put into a building.. and have to fortify it and defend it. Each episode features an assault challenge. Use MILES for the gunplay. Winning the challenge results in rewards like comfort foods, better protective materials. Each episode would also have an individual challenge for immunity, and at the end of the episode the "After Action Review" where one defender is voted out. But here's the twist. The person voted out goes to work for the aggressors. They know your defenses, know who the leaders are, and help plan the next assault and can win their way back into the game by accomplishing a specific task during the assault. This would force two people to be voted out.. one permanently! You could go the two-team route with the winner of each siege challenge determined by the number of "survivors." I can see the merge episode.. the two teams have five minutes to salvage materials from their house before the bulldozers move in! Of course one episode each season would feature a zombie attack
Hosted by Jesse Ventura.
I'd watch it!

...and makes it more of a "tactical"/"team" game that a single good shooter can't win solo. It allows a team--usually the defensive team--to present a more challenging adversary by maximizing both the shooting, thinking, and leadership skills of the people available.
It also keeps it from becoming a "one-for-all" sort of game because--in those close quarters--someone trying to employ a mine or a grenade typically needs the cover of (and cooperation of) teammates to not become team-killing targets. The communication and planning needed might also make for better TV...
Perhaps paintball grenades/claymores show up in the second or third attempts? Sort of "spicing the pot" and adding more challenge...

And having something that actually shoots a projectile is going to make it less likely someone uses a "MILES Bunker" that's totally inappropriate... like a piece of canvas or a tiny-ass bush...
