A reality show I would watch...

[m-jean03]

I had this idea last night: Why don't they do a Washington DC based reality show, during election year, featuring people of varying political persuasions, representing various interest groups, all living in the same house? There could be interns, historians, activists, but everyone would have to be involved in politics in some way.
It could be on PBS, maybe. Could feature lots of good, relevant debate. And have that "slice-of-life" appeal.
What do you think? Would you watch?

1. or a simplified version

have a house of 12 ppl 6 dems reps, and just letthem live together for 3 months, every week you have a competition where a dem and a rep really has to coperate to win

2. Nah. We all know how it would end.

The screaming loudmouth ultra conservative white guy would be hated by everyone in the house, but would declare himself the winner because he would make sure everyone else's voice and vote could not be heard.

Then he would pretend everyone loved him and that he had a mandate, and remodel the house (and only the rooms of the people he didn't like). But when those people would speak up about this unwanted and unneeded construction, he would whine, complain, and yell at the occupants of the demolished bedrooms for wrecking the budget.

However, when he tried to convince the next door neighbors to chip in and help in remodeling this house, they would tell him and the rest of the neighborhood that he is full of shit. This would force him to toilet paper their yard, and put burning bags of poo on their front porch.

Only when this is completed will the network execs crown him as the "Best Reality TV Contestant, Ever!".
