After Running Wild With Bear Grylls, Which Unscripted Shows Should Barack Obama Appear On Next?

As was reported yesterday, President Barack Obama will appear in a forthcoming episode of Running Wild With Bear Grylls. This is probably mostly to bring attention to the issue of climate change, since Obama and Grylls will tour sites in Alaska that have been affected by global warming....

...but what if it isn't? What if Obama is just a reality TV junkie, and the Running Wild gig is just the first of many appearances he plans to make on a variety of unscripted series? Obama's term is going to be over in less than eighteen months; here are a few ideas for where he could spend his time as an ex-President.

Project Runway: Past seasons have whisked designers to such exotic locales as London and Paris. Why not a challenge that takes as its inspiration the decorative artwork of the White House? President Obama could welcome designers to, say, the China Room, and watch them try to cover their disappointment as they learn that instead of creating a frock for Michelle Obama, one of the most stylish women in the world, they have to make a look based on a gravy boat.

MasterChef Junior: As the father of two, President Obama probably has lots of experience giving children constructive criticism in a way that won't make them cry. Who better to appear as a guest judge? (Note: pressure from within his household might require the dish to incorporate lots of organic vegetables and very little cheese.)

Celebrity Wife Swap: In a twist on the usual format, President Obama agrees to give up Joe Biden for a week; while Biden goes to try to fit in to John Legend's household, Chrissy Teigen takes her place as Obama's second-in-command, allowing him to learn firsthand that Biden isn't actually the most "colourful commentator" he could have chosen as a running mate.

10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty: Obama is partnered with big-game hunter Steve Ornetto to try to track and bag a North American sasquatch, but progress proves slow as Ornetto continually accuses Obama -- with no factual basis -- of plotting to strip Ornetto of his guns. Talk of "cold, dead hands" proves unproductive, though during Round 15 of the partners' political debate, their camera operator captures a glimpse of what is definitely either a sasquatch or a very tall elk.

Face Off: Ours isn't the only world in the galaxy with presidents...or so goes the premise of this challenge, in which facetestants must create alien heads of state and prepare them to sit for their official portraits! President Obama appears as a guest judge who has surprisingly informed opinions about paint technique and wig design.

RuPaul's Drag Race: President Obama stops by Season 8 to serve as a player in the "Snatch Game" episode. Things get awkward when one of the younger queens decides she's going to impersonate Sasha.

Catfish: Internet liars might be pretty unapologetic after arranging to meet Nev Schulman and Max Joseph in a local municipal park, but one in particular might find something like remorse if Max and Nev are sitting on a picnic table with Barack Obama.

House Hunters International: Michelle and Barack are a high-achieving couple who are losing their lease on their Washington, DC home. Will they be able to find an open-floor-plan four-bedroom house in Lima, Peru that fits their lifestyle and puts them in the city's most desirable school district to accommodate their daughters? And can they get through three house tours without picking fights over one another's decorating taste or general selfishness?

Drunk History: President Obama meets Derek Waters in a Los Feliz Airbnb to try to retell the story of Louis Jolliet and Jacques Marquette's 17th-century exploration of what would later become Illinois, while completely shithoused on sake bombs.
