Fellow reality tv afficionado Harry tells us about the concept for a new Israeli reality show called The Ambassador, which is Israel’s answer to The Apprentice.
Twelve of the most talented, intelligent and motivated people in the country will compete for the position of the “spokesperson”. Over a period of 12 intensive weeks the participants will have to complete a series of challenges designed specifically to test their skills and suitability.Each episode will take place in a different country and will culminate in a final event in which one participant with the necessary skills (including oratory ability, management and leadership qualities, determination, motivation and charisma) will be selected to fulfill the mission.The winner will become the ultimate Israeli ‘ ambassador’ – a representative of Israel throughout the world. He or she will Travel the world, meet and speak with students, school children, government bodies, broadcasters etc all as a part of the Israel at Heart (Joey Low) organization.Location for the show will take place in the UK, London and the University of Cambridge, Paris, Milan, Washington DC and New York.Planned participants on the show are former Israeli Prime ministers, Shimon Peres and Benjamin Netanyahu, Former Head of Israel’s secret services, Mr. Yaakov Peri and other key figure and experts in the felids of media, diplomacy, politics and public relations.
Now this is truly a great idea.
It is just a matter of time until the PA catch on, and develop a similar concept. I can just imagine it…
Twelve of the most talented, intelligent and motivated people in the Palestinian lands occupied by the Zionist invaders will compete for the position of the “spokesperson”. Over a period of 12 intensive weeks the participants will have to complete a series of challenges designed specifically to test their skills and suitability.Each episode will culminate in a final event in which one participant with the necessary skills (including oratory ability, ability to lie and distort facts, and maintain a completely “bald” look) will be selected to fulfill the mission.The winner will become the ultimate ’Palestinian ambassador’ – a representative of Palestine throughout the world. He or she will travel the world, meet and speak with students, school children, government bodies, broadcasters etc.The losers will also each be able to fulfill a mission, as decided by our brothers in Hamas and Islamic Jihad.The show will take place in our sister country, France.Planned participants on the show are current Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei, former Prime minister Mahmoud Abbas, Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath, and spokesperson Saeb Erekat, as well as other key figures and experts in the fields of propaganda and deception.

What kind of reality show is that?!! Shimon Peres?! Bibi Netanyahu?! But hey, now here’s an idea for a reality show I call, THE PRIME MINISTER
Sixteen of Israel’s most outspoken, politically driven and possibly corrupt members of Knesset will compete for the position of Prime Minister. The sixteen aspirants for the job come from all walks of life, from Palestinian spokesmen to lefty over-the-hill men-who-never-served-in-the-IDF. Every week they will compete against each other in various tasks that will incorporate aspects of shady business tactics, policies that defy their parties, real estate deals (with focus on Jewish Settlements), and the like. They’ll be given challenging tasks and a limited amount of time to complete them. To add to the pressure, they’ll be observed by the foriegn press and the UN. Candidates who do not complete the task according to international bias against Israel will have to face the BBC and be tried in an international court. At the end of each episode, one candidate’s dreams will be dashed as he or she is fired. To make matters even more complicated, the candidates will all live together in a luxury compound in Ramallah.
