In an exclusive interview on Entertainment Tonight, President Bush disclosed plans for a new reality-based television show that will decide his next Supreme Court pick. You Be the Judge will air on CBS, going head to head against NBC’s corporate reality show, The Apprentice, on Thursday nights.
“I’ve been a big fan of reality TV ever since Survivor,” Bush said.
I understand that it will involve sixteen contestants forming two teams. They will fetch things under water, catch their own food, have affairs with each other and make rulings in “People’s Court” type scenarios. The most qualified nominees will be voted off the island because they’re too threatening. A panel featuring Senate Judiciary Committee members will judge how the game is played, but you the audience will get to decide the winner.
