Repo Games is a new reality show on Spike TV.

From Sunday's Las Vegas Review-Journal:

"The next knock on your door could make you a star.

Currently filming in the valley, "Repo Games" (8 p.m. Tuesday, Spike), the latest in an increasingly long line of I-can't-believe-this-is-a-reality-show reality shows, gives people who've defaulted on their auto loans a chance to win back their cars.

"Normally when you repo a car, you go in the middle of the night, and the people don't even have a chance," says executive producer Sally Ann Salsano. "They come out to go to work and their car's gone. In this case, we hook the car up to the tow truck, and then we knock on the door and say, 'Here's the deal.' "

"The deal" boils down to this: The show's hosts, repo men Josh Lewis and Tom DeTone, ask "contestants" five questions along the lines of "How many days are in a leap year?" If they get three right, they keep the car and the show pays off the outstanding debt. If they get three wrong, they lose the car, which would have happened anyway."

From today's Las Vegas Review-Journal:

"You couldn't ask for a better ratings plug.

While filming in North Las Vegas Monday night, the production crew of new reality show "Repo Games," which debuts Tuesday night on Spike TV, were the targets of an angry gunman who mistakenly thought his vehicle was being repossessed.

North Las Vegas police Sgt. Tim Bedwell said no one was hurt in the incident, which began about 9 p.m. in the 2900 block of Vigilante Court, near Centennial Parkway and Losee Road.

Bedwell said the suspect's car was not the vehicle being repossessed. The crew was actually looking for another car on that street, he said.

But the man stormed out of his home and got into a physical altercation with a crew member.

The man then pulled a handgun on the crew and began firing, Bedwell said. Police believe some shots were fired at the crew and some were likely fired in the air.

When officers arrived, the man barricaded himself inside the home. Just after midnight Tuesday, the man tried to escape through a back window and was taken down by police dogs.

The man, whose name was not immediately released, was treated at North Vista Hospital for minor injuries. He was booked into the North Las Vegas jail on charges of attempted murder with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon and obstructing a police officer.

The show's crew teams with a local towing company and local lender -- the names of the businesses are kept private during filming so as to not tip off contestants -- and goes after whatever cars were targeted for repossession that day. And unlike truTV's "Operation Repo," which relies on re-enactments, "Repo Games" doesn't offer much in the way of pre-production."
