"National Leaders Switched: Meet your new President!"

I swear, reality shows are just pathetic now, but they attract so many viewers it's sickening. People seem to be more attracted to "Who wants to be a Hilton?" and "Fear Factor" than politics, so I propose this new reality show.

Government leaders would be switched around nations.

C'mon, it'll be a blast. We'll have President Bush switch with Prime Minister Blair and we'll suddenly cancel the show and just keep President Blair while the Brits keep Prime Minister Bush!

It's brilliant!

Can you tell I'm thinking up this stuff as I'm typing? It's 1:15 a.m. and I'm.....what's that word for crazy?

Woah, woah...hang on....*passes out on bed*

Winnar!

Its better than my idea.

Survivor: Paintball.

Take four teams of military troops, mix 'em up so they're not from the same service, or even the same nation (Canadian and English troops welcome!)

Put them on a jungle island that has been altered for the purpose: There's bunkers, fortification, hidden supply depots, and other nifty positions hidden across the island, and with drinkable water and edible food readily available.

Also, each time has a 'Supply Drop Zone' where, once a cycle, a helicopter drops supplies ranging from more rounds, new rifles, upgraded equipment, repaired equipment, and even CARE packages with brownies and such, but the drop zones are distantish from the camps, and teams are allowed to raid and steal from other teams.

Arm them all with a two weeks supply of paintball rounds, a CO2 compressor machine, two paintball guns each, one sniper paintball gun, and soe other, basic supplies.

Then film :D

What about Finns kind sir?

What about Finns kind sir?

If they speak english that STUPID AMERICAN AUDIENCES can understand, sure!

Keyword is, understandable english. Remeber, US market >.<;

Actually...

...screw the military.

Put US on there.

"DEPATE THIS ABOUT GOD YOU HEATHEN!" *SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT*

*sneak sneak sneaks sneak *SNIPE* In the distance: "ow..."

my idea

Crab Brother


you get a minature version of the big brother house, and put some crabs in it.

You Will Need
Assorted crabs - 1 gay, 1 nazi, 1 commie, 1 angry, 8 other crabs

Method
put them in a box and film

Results
a tedious show that grabs ratings and gives you a foundation to build new spin offs from.

try it NOW

Yowsa! Damn good ideas! The first one would be funny... I can just imagine Bush coming to England and being the leader... It'd be a LOT funnier if you didn't tell anyone though, until after the show started. It'd go all Dead Ringers Election Special... (that may make no sense to anyone... Basically, really funny comedy on BBC, they have all these lookalikes and they take the piss. Their Bush is excellent. In the Election Special, he got up on a box and started speechifying, abou Britain being the 51st state, and got told off by guards, so he moved about three feet and started again... soo funny)...
As for Survivor: Military, sounds like fun... Or, we could use schoolkids instead, and make them all be against each other... And give them all real weapons... Hmm, that rings a bell...

Either Lord of the Flies or Battle Island.

Actually, it would be more amusing to switch the current President of Afghanistan or Iran with Bush.

Either one would probably frustrate themselves to death as they try to get anything done, only to be blocked by the respective power checks.

Either Lord of the Flies or Battle Island.
Didn't even think of Lord of the Flies... Probably because they didn't have weapons... Did they? What's Battle Island? couldn't find anything when I googled it... I was going for Battle Royale, which could be the same thing with a different name...

Sounds like a show I'd watch. Although I'd much prefer they just film the training of the British SAS (ours are better but the Brits have the Brecon Beacons) and slap that on televison. Now that would be entertaining.

i totaly agree!!!

They might have the Brecon Beacons, but you have kangaroos... That gives me an idea...

KANGAROO: SAS
A cheeky yet loveable kangaroo follows his dream and attempts to join the Australian SAS and fights a bullying sergeant, unfriendly squadmates, an uncaring hierarchy and his inability to move without bouncing. An eight part series, starring Kylie Minogue as Jane, the ecil sergeant, Peter Howard as a tree, and Russell Crowe's goldfish as the kangaroo.

God, I'm acting crazy this morning...

Plan A)
Survivor: Andes Mountains.

You strand ten competitors on the Andes Mountains and whoever ends up not getting eaten wins. :)

Plan B)
The Adventures of Goofball in Space. You send me to the International Space Station and the cameras catch all the hilarious action as mayhem ensues. :D

I thought the first idea posted by Colodia was nifty.
Imagine switching any of the Arab countries with Israel or DPR Korea and the US. Imagine what Condi would say her expectations would be of Kim Jong-Il as new head of the US.

Hmmm...

A mixture of Colodia's idea and Celebrity Love Island.

"Mr Bush, you're with Kim Jong-Il. Have fun!"

Or Underwater Big Brother! Strap weights to their feet and dump them in the ocean for a few weeks, and film the results.

Or better yet, anyone remember that bomber pilot thing in Britain? Change it to Japanese kamikaze pilots!

Or even Bacterial Big Brother! Watch microbes interact with each other on a piece of mouldy bread!

Now that could work.

In Britain at least...

Or we could have all political leaders in one giant house with all the post-whoring NSers and see who makes it out alive in each group.

Last one in each group gets to fight to the death.

Last one standing wins a cookie. Yes. A cookie.

12 celebraties, 1 winner, 11 corpses, 999 assorted weapons and blades. 1 island. no food or water........thats a winner

Or how about Kim Jong-Il and Bush?

Survivor: New York City streets. Put a bunch of businessmen on the streets without money or food, and force them to live as homeless people. Last one alive wins a warm meal before being thrown back onto the street again.

You're just proposing that cause you want to be on tv... :p

I'd watch this.

Make it the Hilton sisters! :D

I saw this on a website:

We scour the message boards and chatrooms for the five most obsessive internet stalkers. We take them, ghetto them up(ghettofy? blingerize?), and form a rap group called Re$training OrderZ. We film everty waking moment of their lives until their first album goes platinum.

Here's A List of Songs(My Ideas):
I'll Find Ya
Binoculars
In Da House(Home Invasion)
Watchin' Ya Sleep
Doll of Hair(I Made From You)
Without Your Consent(Or Knowledge)

Then film :Dthey had a similar one where it was former military personell with painball guns and they have to 'hunt' the players. evertime someone gets shot, they get eliminated

they also have one call "Please fire me" where the contestants have one day to get fired. and the first one who succeeds wins 25,000.

I maintain Drawn Together is the best reality show I have seen.

Oops, that's good one too...
