Of course, when you think about it, this would be a pretty interesting idea for a reality show. Kind of like the Japanese show that locked a job applicant in a room for more than a year, and only gave him things he could win out of magazines.

Guy Goma, a graduate from central Africa, ... [arrived at] ... the BBC's News 24 studios for a job interview.
Goma sat down in the BBC reception and waited to be called for the interview. A producer greeted him, led him to a studio, seated him on a stool and clipped a microphone to his lapel.
A business presenter then introduced the clearly startled Goma as the editor of a technology website and asked if he was surprised by computer company Apple's victory in a trademark dispute with The Beatles' Apple Corp.
He gamely answered, and grappled with two more questions about music downloading, before the flustered presenter thanked him and moved on...
...The BBC has yet to say whether Goma got the job he applied for.
