I reckon they should get with the tim...Hi Crispian<br /><br />I reckon they should get with the time, and change the selection method from voting, to a reality show where all applicants can test their faith and ability to "walk in the path of god". <br /><br />Start with all applicants being dumped overboard, about a mile or so from shore. Those who can walk on water, or at least get to shore, make it to the next round.<br />Then we can send them into the wilderness for 40 days.<br />Survivors move to the next round, where they have to turn water into wine. I am sure Jamie Oliver and a bunch of his mates can be convinced to take time out from their busy schedule to sample the wine, and of course, we eliminate the contestant with the worst batch.<br />Replicating one of the plagues of Egypt could be fun, and allow for some individual creativity - we allow them to choose which plague. <br />We can then take them down to the local hospital, where they can do some healing - again, we can perhaps give points based on the number and type of illness healed. Traditionally, leprosy and blindness were favourites, but I think we can allow a little creativity here - cancer and HIV would probably be a good one for the modern age.<br />By now we should be down to a very small number indeed.<br />Maybe get them to go out on a North Atlantic cod fishing boat. Points awarded based on the size of the catch after 5 days fishing. Bonus points if calming of a storm is required, and performed.<br />Once we are down to one, we can then do the final test of faith, and bung them into the lions' den.<br />Leave them there overnight. If he's alive in the morning, we have white smoke.<br />If all we have is smiling lions, then black smoke, and a winner TV series.<br />Who's ready for season 2?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
