Here is how I propose improving "Reality Television"
:rant:

Each person "voted off the island" or "fired from the kitchen" or "kicked out of the house" must be immediately executed live on air in whatever messy fashion the public will tolerate.

And the winner of each show is executed last, with the cash prize being awarded to his or her family or charity or whatever.


I think we've seen enough of these instant ersatz celebrities whose only claim to fame is that they were willing to form an alliance with someone from the opposing tribe.

2. Better idea...
Take a contestant from these "reality shows" and put them on REAL reality shows...Like a crab fishing boat or doing one of Mike Rowe's dirty jobs...Being filmed cleaning out a septic tank oughta do it.....:rofl:

3. Make them all a la Running Man.
You don't get voted off, you kill or get killed.

5. I like it. Not only would it be far more entertaining...
...than the current crock of shit, but it would improve the human gene pool immensely.

Personally, I wish they'd make a real version of "The Running Man," only use Republicans instead of criminals as "contestants."
