“Ingrid Wiese, the ‘Joe Schmo’-contestant-turned- actress on ‘Joe Schmo 2,’ is planning to start a foundation to fund International Media Advocacy Campaigns, with funds donated by reality TV contestants, networks and interested viewers. Wiese did some research, and found that a collective $10 million a year is doled out to reality TV/game show contestants and that winners of that money then turn around and donate 5 percent of their winnings, on average, to charity which means that about $500,000 annually is being donated. What Ingrid wants to do is get networks, viewers and a government organization called Global Development Alliance to match this amount which could bring the $500,000 up significantly. If that happens, she could fund international media programs targeting public advocacy. “

Or as Derek Newcastle would say, “Ten times one-twentieth of a million dollars annually is being donated.” Yes, I did use my calculator to make sure that was right.

Wow. I’m embarrassed to say that I would have never expected Spike TV to find a reality show contestant that was so…smart. Hey, Ambuh, whatcha doing with your money?**
