Hi Joelle,
I think it would work very well. Just look at the popularity of 'fly on the 
wall' programmes lately. There is even one on BBC that invites people to dinner 
and listens in on the conversations that develop. A two day OS with a suitable 
subject could be edited to make an interesting programme. They could even do a 
follow up to see what had happened after a few months.

Mind you the attraction to TV land is the conflicts that arise, not the sources 
of agreement.
