for 10 days would be an extremely popular show, especially if they were politicians. Or have them move in with a very poor family to experience how difficult life is working for scraps and having to support a family.

25. Some politicians are not that bad
Fri Oct 10, 2014, 10:14 AM
Oct 2014

Others are, but the ones I've worked with aren't so bad. Even some of the GOP ones in my area are just regular guys.

Here are a list of contestants I'd like to see (not all politicians) in the first round. One of my former senators (who died in office) was worth about 50 million but you would have never guessed it by his voting record and positions. Better yet, turn this into the Hunger Games and have them fight to the death until a lone survivor emerges (and all assets seized and donated to relieve medical debt for the 99%)

The Walton family
David Koch
Charles Koch
Mitt Romney
Sheldon Adleson
Karl Rove

I'll add more as I think of them. I'd like my first class of contestants to have about 12.
