On August 23, 2000, Richard Hatch, a 39-year-old corporate trainer from Rhode Island, wins the season-one finale of the reality television show Survivor and takes home the promised $1 million prize.

What if we put our politicians on a show like survivor. Want to pass that Bill? Gotta do a challenge for it. Want to do medicare for all. Gonna have to choose between that and a spoon of peanut butter as your emaciated in the rain forest.
