Discovery might have just created the greatest reality show that has ever happened to television. They are sending two US Senators to an Island and leaving them there. What’s the big deal about that? Sen. Jeff Flake is a Conservative Republican from Arizona and Sen. Martin Heinrich is a Liberal from his neighboring state New Mexico. Anyone who has lived in the US for the last decade knows that these two parties don’t get along and are fighting all the time. Instead of voting for the people, they are voting for their beliefs and that is really hurting the country.
OK, I will move on from my distaste of politics and marvel the concept of Rival Survival. Although, I am not sure one or both of them will survive the Island. It will kind of be like Lost again where none of them survived, or did they?
OK, I will move on from my distaste of Lost. Discovery is stranding a Republican and Democrat on an Island. For six days and six nights they will have to put their differences aside if they want to survive the week. Can they do it? Will they learn to compromise? Will they make it to six days or will one of the abort the mission? (See what I did there?)
We will have to tune in on October 29th to find out and to watch the most ingenious reality show concept ever.
And if it works, I say send all of them over there until they find a common ground and let’s get the three Branches of our Government back on track and make them one beautiful tree. And let’s hope that they don’t bill the American people for their free vacation on Island. Which you know they will because that is just how they work.
Seriously, my hat is off to Discovery because this is the most brilliant thing to happen to television, since, I don’t know when.
Finally, I wonder if C-SPAN will air the live feed of their journey? How hot would that be? Hotter than the tension between these two men on day one!
