Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Solitary is a Reality Show which aired on the Fox Reality Channel. It features nine contestants locked in isolation pods, and cut off from all contact with each other and the outside world. Their only companion is VAL, a Master Computer who serves as the host of the show. While in isolation, they face a series of tests, treatments, and general torture designed to push them to physical, mental, and emotional extremes. When a contestant can't take it anymore, they push a red button, saying they want to quit the game. Eventually, all the players save one quit. The one survivor wins $50,000.As said earlier, the main twist of this series is that, compared to other Reality Shows, Solitary focuses less on interactions between contestants and more on the sheer isolation. With that in mind, none of them know how the other contestants are doing during challenges/treatments. So long as you're not the first player to quit, you move on, but with no idea on whether or not someone had quit, some people will spend literally hours suffering even when everybody else has quit. As such, none of the games are about competing with others, just your own physical/mental/spiritual limits.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })There will be spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk.

Affably Evil: When she isn't putting everyone through torturous experiments, VAL is actually quite nice.

All the Worlds Are a Stage

All the Worlds are a Stage: Non-video game example; in the season 2 finale, VAL has Numbers 7 and 8 do a number of activities that are milder versions of that season's tests and treatments. She repeats this in Season 4.

A Death In The Lime Light: The main cue someone's about to quit the treatment? The "Red Button Shot".

comment
Ambiguous Time Period: The guests have no idea how long they've been in Solitary, what day it is, or if it's morning, noon, or night. This is enforced with VAL's greetings, which are always phrased like "Good morning/evening/afternoon."

The Ace

comment
The Ace: Number 7 in seasons 1 and 3, who made it all the way to the final treatment without quitting, was the last person standing, and won multiple tests in the process. In season one, Number 7 never quit a single treatment. At worst, he tied for first on any given task.
