Bad idea, Jim: if there’s one thing I’ve learned from ’50s science-fiction movies, it’s that:

RADIATION = GIGANTISM

…and well-known biophysicist and author Stanley Lieber has thoroughly documented radiation’s interesting propensity for:

RADIATION = SUPERPOWERS

…see where this is going? The last thing the world needs now is Rush Limbaugh and Nancy Pelosi to be forty feet tall. Throw in atomic fire-breath, indestructibility, flight, etc., and the world is doomed, doomed, doomed.

What about a volcano?

Can I suggest a change of Island? Bikini Island in the Bikini Atoll of the Marshall Islands.

The problem with eating Limbaugh is that it’s likely to lead to renal failure.

Hey, Wanda had a point, okay?

OK, I understand the aversion to including Joe, but how about this. On the last two seasons, they’ve had “Exile Island” where a contestant gets sent to spend the night alone but with a chance to find an immunity idol. Joe could be the immunity idol on the island and if whoever is exiled can catch him and bring him down, they have the idol!

I like it. It keeps him both wanted and reviled by everyone.

That would be bets, not bests.

I’m taking bests on which players are killed by their own team mates and eaten. I think it’s a tie between Rush for the Reds and Carville for the Blues. First team to rid us of a load-mouth gets this -> http://observationbubble.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/united-steaks-of-america.jpg.

(P.S.: before anyone calls me on the Matalin comments, that was almost twenty years ago. Now she and Carville look kinda like each other, which is either a cute-couple thing or horribly, horribly, horribly wrong. Aw, hell, why do we have to choose? It’s a horribly, horribly, horribly wrong cute-couple thing, “cute” meaning, “Oh sweetmotherofgod, why?”)

Carville's already working on a "purple team"; he's been married to Mary Matalin, who at one point was arguably the hottest woman in the GOP, since '93 (looks, brains, vicious sense of humor). I propose an airlift challenge solely because it would give The Arnold a chance to shout, "Get to the choppah!" and I love hearing him say that.

Jeri, That would be perfect they have to watch the opposite TV and not comment!!! Perfect!!

Nathan, he was on my short list, but then Google brought me this tidbit: “Samuel Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, tells TIME he’s so outraged by GOP overspending, he’s quitting the party.” I agree that his fifteen minutes of fame are totally over, but I couldn’t figure out which team to put him on.

Janiece, will add, and I totally agree, the Donner party look, feel and experience should definitely be a part of the whole experience.

Gene, the opposite TV should be a part of the silent meditation challenge!

Vince, yes, a hurricane, with delayed & substandard emergency response.

I was thinking about how to make the whole experience even more twisted, and I think one of the challenge rewards could be a date with a Gitmo Bay prison guard!
