I just had an idea on how to get the public interested in space exploration again

Survivor: Space edition

The winner gets a free trip to space and the 'challenges' can all be based around preparing for the flight. It could have everything: world travel, food preparation, attractive people in scanty outfits, space business challenges, and tonnes of corporate marketing.

The best part is that it doesn't need any new technology. It could be done today for less than the prize given out on regular survivor. Don't the Soviets let people go up for less than a million?
