More: Worsoff has worked on a variety of reality shows, including "Duck Dynasty," "The Millionaire Matchmaker" and "Dating Naked."

The Daily Mail said the pitch proposes that 12 contestants would arrive by boat, specifically dubbed "The Citizen Ship," at Ellis Island in New York City before traveling across the U.S. by train and competing in various challenges, which could include rolling logs in Wisconsin or collecting gold in a San Francisco mine.

"Along the way, we will be reminded what it means to be American " through the eyes of the people who want it most," Worsoff's pitch said, according to The Daily Mail.

The outlet said that the winner of the series would be sworn in by a famed judge or politician in front of the Capitol building. There would also be additional, absurdly American prizes, such as 1 million American Airlines points, a $10,000 Starbucks Gift Card or a lifetime supply of 76 gasoline.

Make them play Russian Roulette? Seems only appropriate since this has Putin's Bitch's fingerprints all over it.

Yet another distraction from our President openly taking bribes from foreign governments in blatant violation of the Constitution.

The Citizen Ship lands. The immigrant contestants make a break for it the first chance they get. The Gestapo pursues them. Immigrant contestants run into the arms of concerned groups. Lawsuits ensue. Series cancelled.

Why is it that people who think they are clever are always the least clever among us?

aka Trumpers, who's cult leader is their reality tv show President.

I'm old and I'm K with that but I just want to ask a question; do any of y'all remember the TV show "Queen for a Day?"

That show had contestants who would tell their story of hardship and what they hoped to win and usually they would as for some modest prize like bunk beds for their 8 kids which theyb supported by washing dishes in a restaurant 15 hours per day and then the decision would be made as to who won be an applause meter; and I am not maing this up, it was a real show on network TV 5 days per week. When the woman who had the saddest story would win she would get many extra prizes be really, nothing compared to today's shows. thibking back now it was sort of the Hunger Games reality TV show of the 150s.

I know my typing is atrocious. Give me a little slack, that's what a stroke does. I'm very lucky, it was. what the call a minor stroke, and I can function, live alone, do my own cooking and cleaning and even take my little dog Joey on walks to the park three times aday but I can't type well nor play my piano these days. If I had a choice though I'd give up typing if I could still play my beloved instrument; my piano.

Kristi Noem desperatey wants to be a TV star and if it requires a "Hunger Games" style competition that's ok with a soulless being such as her. I would suggest a more exciting version where the immigrants would be armed and allowed to shoot each other; start the show with 25 armed immigrants and the last one standing gets a free pass to citizenship. Several gun manufacturers are ready to sponsor immigrants who they think can win and, of course, arm them with their own brand of gun! Points would be earned for every non-white person slaughtered. We would honor our illustrious President by naming this the "Trump Games."

Sadly, this site has become little more than a megaphone for dirtbags like this.

I understand your point but I would contend that we need such posters to remind us of the reality of the world we actually live in and the hate that does exist all around us every day. Shrimp may be reprehensible but compared to what al of us deal with in traffic, in check out lines at Walmart, in crowds leaving aftera concert or a sports stadium? Shrimpy is a non-lethal dose of hate.

Yes it's awful to support a President who wants to clean up crime, get control of illegal immigration, get rid of government waste and fraud, lower inflation, and the left's worst nightmare, end the wars and promote world peace.

For MAGA bigots, it will just be a new form of porn to help them masturbate. STD is certain to need help from the little blue pill.

A President who is a convicted felon, hired illegals at his hotels, makes sht up about gov fraud and abuse, has pulverized the economic outlook, and promotes old jets for himself from other countries.

He hasn't gotten rid of any government waste and fraud.

Go on, tell us cancer research is fraud.
