So I've had this thought for a long time. We all know that voter turnout in the US is meager, at best. All right, it's ridiculous, considering the global importance of such an election. Anyway. I've thought of a way to make the elections a lot more exciting, while at the same time increasing the number of candidates. Heck, it'll even make the elections the lunch-hour topic in every office in the country!

All right, here goes. Instead of the normal two candidates, we'll have 7 of the raunchiest, sexiest, and most scandal-ridden politicians in the country. Then, we'll have them move into the White House for a period of about five-six months. While they're there, they'll have to work as a team, through opposition, to complete 'tasks'. These tasks should include things such as, "sign an international peace treaty", or "balance the budget". Whoever does the worst job will be voted out of the House by the American public. In the end, one candidate will be left standing, and the first prize is getting to be president for 4 years.
If that's not gonna increase voting, I don't know what will. Imagine! An election with Al Sharpton, Arnie Terminator, Hillary, Nader, Oprah + a selection of whoever's involved in some scandal at the time.
Imagine the drama! There'd be drugs, sex, and rock n' roll all the way, baby. Maybe we could even give the winner an extreme makeover!

I'd watch that show! Any other suggestions? Shows you would want to see? Variations? In all fairness, I don't consider this to be a crazy idea what with the changes in entertainment we have these days... I should get a patent on this!

I know.. sent them to jamaica and make two tribes.. then after some time tribes will be united then they will drop each other one by one untill only two is left. Then there will be last tribal meeting where the winner will be revealed.

But why the best one? It would make more sense if the worst one would win? Remember Rocky?(he won.. in a certain perspective)

Thank god for my original ideas. Wrrrlll..

We should blame Sweden for reality TV.

And here is some reality TV animation. You might think that it is funny.

At first, it looks, well, stupid to say the least.
But then again, I have the impression that elections are not quite that different from what you suggested, except that the candidates
A. want to be a serious president and
B. they can't have a single scandal-like thing in their past.

On the basis of A. I would say your idea is a terrible one, because a president can't quit after a year or so because he's bored.
However, I don't really have a problem with a president who made a mistake or two in his/her past. One learns from mistakes.

No, don't get me wrong, it's actually not a bad idea. Evil, but not bad.
