A producer who has pitched the idea to DHS said he envisions the show as being a “positive love letter to America” while dismissing criticism that it would be “punching down” on contestants.

Worsoff said he envisions his show being like “‘The Biggest Loser’ for immigration” – referencing the former reality show where overweight contestants competed to see who would lose the most weight, and which had also been the subject of criticism about its content.

Worsoff told Collins on “The Source” that he envisions each episode ending with a town-hall meeting, “just like in a presidential election.”

“The people of Tennessee, let’s say, will get to vote on which one of our future Americans they would most like to represent the state of Tennessee,” Worsoff said.

The whole thing has some wild quotes but this guy needs to be barbara-pit

Also sorry if this is the wrong comm, I've seen complaints about posting news to c/slop and wasn't sure where the appropriate place for this was.

This sounds way closer to Squid Games than I thought conservatives could bring us this quick...

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 2 days ago

Funny enough, back when Squid Game was airing, a bunch of conservatives were putting out hot takes about how "ackchyually this show depicts communism"
