I want to take a group of people, think the cast of survivor as you'd expect them to appear judging only from the name. Eight or ten absolutely frightening people, or people who would frighten you if you saw the videos of their interviews. We give each one a cameraman, who happens to be armed and armored, a wad of cash, and an assault rifle. Then we drop them off in some crumbling African dictatorship.
That's it. We give them no rules, no directions, no goals. We just pick people that would happily murder a child for fun, and leave them in the most messed up situation we can find on Earth with the means to wreak havoc. And we film it for prime time.
Forget getting voted off the island. The question wouldn't be who'd win, it would be would any of them survive, and what would they do to that poor country in the meantime.
It's a thin line between entertainment and war.
