Here's a Reality Show that I'd watch...and could bring in some needed Government revenue

Never let a good hunger strike go to waste!

It's just a suggestion. I'd call it, "Wasting Away".

It seems there's a hunger strike going on at Guantanamo:
Nearly half the war-on-terror captives at the U.S. Navy base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, were considered hunger strikers Saturday, with 10 percent of them being tube fed, according to the military. 
Army Lt. Col. Samuel House released the hunger strike figure -- 77 of the 166 captives considered hunger strikers, 17 being force-fed via tubes snaked up their nose and into their stomach -- in an an email Saturday morning from the remote base a day after reporters left the island. 
The hunger strike figure rose by 14 prisoners overnight. The military reported the hunger-strike figure at 63 on Friday.
A total of five captives were hospitalized Saturday, said House, deputy prison camps spokesman. None of the hospitalized captives “have any life-threatening conditions,” he added. 
Hunger strike figures have been steadily climbing since U.S. troops raided a communal medium-security compound at the prison camps a week ago, and placed about 65 captives under single-cell lockdown. The detainees had weeks before covered up most of the prison’s surveillance cameras and kept largely out of view of their U.S. Army guards, the military said, stirring fears that some were planning to commit suicide.

I'd have cameras set up in all the hunger strikers' cells and gathering areas. Revenue could be made on the on-line betting. It could include bets on:

  • When will the hunger strike officially end? 
  • How much will the lightest hunger striker weigh before he dies or gives in and eats?
.....Oh, I could go on. I could see companies like, Jenny Craig, and Slimfast coming on board as sponsors. 

What do you think? I could see millions being made from on-line betting going back into Government coffers.
