If we could make these Ball House seasteads as cheaply as I think out of HDPE, a group of 10 of these could be within the budget of a reality TV show. You have a team on each seastead. You put a year supply of food-storage food onboard each but have the goal be to catch and grow your own foot and to minimize use of the stored food. Have a hydroponic system for them to use. Have solar power and satellite Internet. Have one of the goals be to earn money while at sea. They would have to use kites to get to different islands on a migration path. A tug boat would tow them into and out of port once they were nearby. The show would be different enough that I think people would find it interesting. And clearly each week you edit a weeks worth of video down to 1 hour of the most interesting stuff. Bet it could work.

Could have it where the top 3 teams get to keep their seasteads and also get cash prizes. So you could attract people who were really interested in this way of life.

Even using ocean barges and kites this could be interesting enough for a TV show. Don't even need a novel seastead design. The TV show will have ships following each group and so could rescue them if a big storm came.

Fishing out in the open ocean you can catch big fish. Can also do small scale longline fishing from a seastead so really should be able to catch plenty of food.
