Richard Branson's Rebel Billionare show

[Kenazo]

Is he really going to make the winner of this show the next president of Virgin? Seems kind of a hokey way of picking a successor. Though Branson is kind of weird.

I wouldn't wanna be president of Virgin.

Why not? You'd get paid to do virutally nothing. You actually think they're gonna let the President that got the position from some gameshow make major business decisions? You'd be a PR guy. I'd do it in a heart beat, free money.

that is the reason that i think it's phony. how would the stock holders feel? it'll pretty much destroy the whole company if it's real. i'd imagine the winner would be offered a "position" where he/she doesn't make any real decisions with a month or so "trail period" then be fired.

he has been asked if he really is going to let the winner take over his actual job and he just changes the conversation and kinda shrugs it off...i belive he was on kevin and bean radio show and they asked it point blank

 

[Kenazo]

well, he'd shrug it off either way, since he'd have to keep the ending secret anyway.

Branson's not stupid. It some kind of twist to the show that we don't know about yet.

Still, the show is REALLY entertaining! The stunts those contestants did with only a flimsy rope holding them was awesome. It makes all other reality shows look tame.
