    The concept — “Ten celebrities of various backgrounds will be dropped into the heart of the Costa Rican jungle to face challenges designed to test their skills in adapting to the wilderness and to raise money for their favorite charitieshttp://www.thrfeed.com/2009/04/blagojevich-nbcs-celebrity-.html.”

    Sounds like a philanthropic cross between Survivor & Celebrity Apprentice.

    Drop them off across the street from the Parque Morazan and see how much money they can raise.

    Perhaps NBC can do us all a favor…. when they “drop” these people into Costa Rica…. forget the parachutes… this way this “reality” show only last 10 minutes and the rest of us and enjoy the peaceful reasons we come to CR!!

    Since when do we see any “reality” on TV?

    It’s all an illusion, it’s the “reality” that they want you to see and believe. Turn it off!

    The whole point of TV and religion is to distract everyone from the REAL reality. Some of us know this, some of us do not.

    By the way, the ousted governor of Illinois, the guy who was trying to sell Obama’s vacated senatorial seat, Blogovitch, is asking a judge for permission to leave the U.S. during his trial so that he can particicpate in this Costa Rican TV reality show.
    I would prefer to see them drop him in the middle of San Jose after dark rather than in the jungle.

    What a societal dichotomy in the US – people escape their reality through the trials & tribulations of others placed in situautions they would never normally experience except for television.
    Drop them off along the middle of the Parque Amistad along the Panama border and see if they can make it on foot to civilization with only the clothes on their back, a canteen of water and a machete.

    Blago will be the biggest snake in the jungle if he gets dropped into Costa Rica…heard he’s going to make $80K per week he’s on the show, if the judge let’s him leave town for a while…evidently he needs to do this to cover his court costs …next he’ll be trying to escape from a U.S. jail….that would be the better reality show.
