I Have An Idea, And For Once It’s a Good One!

Okay, here’s the deal.  This would be so great.

I think that when Fox News announces the top ten Republican candidates who made the debate cut, it should be done live on teevee and all 16 of the candidates should be present.

You know, like a game show.

“Scott Walker, Come On Down!  You have made the cut as one of the top ten.  Now you get to play Dungeons and Dopes with nine other contestants.”

I would watch that.

    Yeah! Except instead of sitting in the studio audience, they should all be clustered onstage, like beauty pageant contestants when they announce the finalists. We could see their brave smiles start to waver and slip as name after name is called, and they’re still standing there.

    I doubt we could get them to do evening gowns, but they might go for swimsuits.

    And there definitely will be NO Mr. Congeniality.

  2. Shouldn’t it be more like “voting the losers off the island”? I’d rather see disappointment and outrage than smug grins and smirks. Ain’t nothin’ worse than a smirking Republican, and some of them hardly have any other expression.

    I want to see the part where the host says: “And now – leaving our stage tonight is … (Pause) … (Pause) … (Pause) …

    The first one to go gets to appear on the next episode of The Biggest Loser.

    I rather like the idea of handing out roses instead.

  6. I think they should decide the nomination with a cage match.

    Highest ratings ever.

  7. a good idea or a great idea! the all variants are great! i’d spend money or watching it!

  8. Yep. For once a ‘reality’ TV program that would be interesting…

  9. My sainted father always likened the GOP candidate selection process to “a beauty contest”. I say beauty contest rules and such should prevail. They can parade in evening attire, swimsuits, demonstrate a talent and answer some softball questions. Then winnowed down to a top 10, etc. The last two standing will then be told which wins the crown and which will enter the witness protection program, err I mean will be the GOP vice-presidential nominee.

    Hey… you said 16. I thought there were 17. Lose one already? And now I hear there might be an 18! Oh sweet Jesus help me.

  11. That must be an old grouping, since Romney and Ryan are in it and Trump is not. Unfortunately, Jon Stewart’s last show is that night (recorded earlier), so it’s unlikely he will be able to rip it to shreds for our amusement.

  12. NO swimsuits! Please lord no! Is there anybody in that bunch you want to see in a swimsuit? Christie is bad enough, but Cruz would make me lose things for sure.

    Not “come on down!” Shouldn’t it be “You are the Weakest Link”?

    Are they going to have drawings from a hat for names?

    I was actually hoping for nuthugger speedos. I figure it wont harm the average GOP/T-partier’s eyesight, as they are near blind anyways.

  16. On stage, just like the kids in PE class waiting to be called up for the two dodge ball teams, and there always seems to be kids leftover to sit in the bleachers!

  17. Rhea is correct. No swimsuits. It was bad enough to see a picture of Christie in tighty-whitey baseball pants. Harry legs would be just too much for my old eyes to see.

    I say brackets, like the college basketball sweet sixteen, except that we would need to change “sweet” to something Mama might not approve of.

    As much as I despise reality teevee, any of the above suggestions would be good for a giggle. In all honesty, though, in that pathetic field how on earth would you determine the WEAKEST link?

    Ms. Lindsey should be in that line-up … surely [s]he would love to do the evening gown and swimsuit round.

  23. Ugh. If they really conduct this like a beauty pageant then I cringe to think about the swimwear/fitness and evening wear portions (will Ted wear his creepy paisley bathrobe?).

    There will be no talent portion, obviously.

    And none of the onstage questions will actually be answered.

    I fully expect this to be a cross between Survivor, Lord of the Flies, and Battlebots.

    I picture the two separate groups of debaters as the earlier group (the Losers, shall we say) has the “Children’s Table” debate. None of the adults will participate. Then, the Adults will be seated, slightly to seriously inebriated like they were at
    my house on big holidays.

    I like the roses thing. Only, as with little kids, everybody gets a rose–it’s the color that makes the difference (since they aren’t color-blind. The winners get a red rose; the losers get yellow.
