Fancypants seems too chill to butt heads with anypony.

Regarding the celebrity thing, I thought the idea was that Trixie started the talent show herself, which is how she snagged a judge's chair in spite of her lack of fame.

[up]You're missing an earth pony there.

Just watched Korra. I might need to start going to their thread.

I'm not going to bother trying to watch it. I don't think my connection here could support streaming anything consistently.

Trixie has the most entertainment potential when it comes to insulting the bad contestants though

neither Fancypants, Sapphire or Soarin' seem mean enough

[up][up] That was my original idea, yeah.

Yeah, but then how would she get the likes of Fancypants and Soarin' to be her co-judges?

@Crow: Crap, you're right. Maybe Sapphire could judge and Fancypants could host it.

@ JT: Fancy's a unicorn.

@ Ginger: Wasn't the only pony attracted to Fancy, Fleur?

Well, maybe Trixie pitched the idea to someone and it was considered so inspired that she was given free reign to do whatever she wanted, allowing her to snag some celebrity judges

How about Big Mac as the EP judge? Instead of giving commentary, he just says Nnnope.

If there's one thing Trixie is good at, it's showmareship. She could give a really good pitch that convinces the other judges to support the show.

Ninja'd by ginger.

Yeah, Fancy as the host might work out better actually. I can't really see him giving criticism anyway.

Why wouldn't they want to be judges on a national tv program?

@Crow Hehe, we had the same idea waii

Great Minds Think Alike

[up] Well, there's no guarantee that it would be national. Trixie is just THAT good at pitching

Hold the presses, Ginger just admitted that he isn't alone in his opinions.

I just had the thought of mares making whistles at Fancy when he comes on stage. wink

Is this even a TV program? We haven't seen T Vs on the show. I figured this was just something you had to see in person. Er, in pony.

#198765 from Aboard The Damocles
So what are the acts themselves?

Would Snips and Snails pull a reprise of their magic act? (Trixie would laugh them off the stage)

[up] A travelling talent show that you have to see in person, yes. With the finals in Canterlot Castle

Celestia or Luna goes onstage and does really bad at whatever their act is, but nopony, even Trixie, wants to call them on it.

#198767
A traveling show is good. I was just figuring it would be based in Canterlot, but this way they can pick up the best contestants from the various places they stop.

Oops, doublepost. You guys aren't posting fast enough.

Wait!

Britains Got Talent has to find someone to entertain the Queen.

So...Equestrias Got Talent could be a chance to entertain Celestia!

(one of the judges presses their buzzer accidentally)

Luna: WHO PRESSED THAT?!?!

(all three judges point at each other)

[up] Yup, that could be part of how Trixie convinces them that it's a good idea.

Would Trixie start to lose it when all of the contestants and judges (and the host) start becoming more popular than her?

Then for the final show (Say the top 5 acts face off) they bring in Celestia, Luna, and Cadance as the guest judges.

actauly I was thinking Fancypants, Soarin, and Saphire Shores, with Trixie as the host.

Probably. The question is if that would happen. For one thing, it's a traveling show, so until the finals in Canterlot it would be hard for any particular contestant to get universally popular. Also, people love Simon dissing on the bad performances in real life, so Trixie could actually become very popular if she's entertaining enough.

#198774 from Aboard The Damocles
@Seraph again, the problem is that none of those judges would be mean enough. They can't give good criticism, they'd be boring.

and as Apple said, the winner should get to perform for Celestia (like the winner over here does for the queen

@Crow true. I wonder if Trixie's aware of that.

If so, then that's an ingeniously roundabout way to make herself famous, isn't it. She gets CELEBRATED for demeaning ponies
