This is one of the most grotesque ideas even in this grotesque universe. Instead of the Hunger Games, I thought of the Gladiator. The hateful people of this country would probably enjoy it. That includes the millions non-white naturalized Americans who think they are better than the undocumented. I want to break it to them that they are only luckier, not better.
To me, the worst reality shows are The Bachelor/The Bachelorette. Talk about pathetic?
Have those contestants no self respect? Yeah, I want to date a woman who is simultaneously dating 20 other men, and have to "compete" for her to give me a rose every week. Then , if I am lucky enough to make it to the final two, I want to agonize over whether the woman I supposedly "fell in love with", is going to throw me overboard a foot from the finish line for another man. Saaaaad! And truly pathetic.
I actually cringe for those sad people every time my wife watches those shows.
Ugh. No reality TV in my house. If my husband wants to watch that garbage, he can do it on his phone with his AirPods and his ears. I can’t even stand it when he watches the news.
I dislike reality shows. The only I can stand is the Shark Tank, which I find somewhat based on actual business performance and forecast. I also prefer Sarah never goes on Survivor, unless it helps launch her political career.
I don't watch any of them. I have a particular hatred of reality ones. The only game show I have ever watched is Jeopardy. And I am an avid watcher of it.
Actually I like the idea. But sometimes they go little overboard with their second chance tourney and other such shows. By the way Ken Jennings is the GOAT! 73 in a row! It will never be broken!
I go with, ‘Pol Pot-ish’. But it all ends up in the same place; the new # 1 Sunday night show on FOX - endlessly hyped during their “game of the week” during football season, with an almost-immediate spin-off called, “Tom Holman deports the losers”, which will become even more popular than the ‘Running Man/Survivor/Hunger Games original…because our fellow ‘citizens’ truly suck
I got the ideal from Mornings Shots the other day when Bill or Andrew used the term Maoist to refer to how Trump wants to control the economy.( his dictates). Naturally my snarkastic mind loved the alliteration of Mara Lago maoist. It just goes so well with MAGA, Mara Lago, Maoist moron!
I too use Mara Lago, but for a different reason. "Mara" means "gang" in Salvadoran slang. You are probably familiar with Mara Salvatrucha-13 (MS-13). See Wikipedia.

Ken Jennings is from my hometown (loosely speaking) and he is fantastic.
I thought of "Amazing Race" or "Survivor". I hate these reality game shows. After all, one spawned the Mara Lago Maoist to become elected President.

I love Jeopardy growing up but agree with Tom Nichols that removing the 5 time cap killed the show.

This is the first time I've heard the term "Maoist" ascribed. It is indeed a Cultural Revolution, national greatness be damned. How dark will it get?

Very interesting! You can bet your bottom dollar Trump has no idea. I would love to see his reaction to finding out!
