Thank you for your answer. I will try not to post things that don't strongly relate to rationality in the future.
For the record, my reasoning was the following: There has been 5000 candidates so far. If one rationalist applies, let's say s/he has a probability of 1/5000 to be chosen. If s/he is chosen, s/he will be seen by probably millions of viewers. So in average, every application would reach something like 1000 viewers.
After filtering to make it into a proper TV show, the -best- that could happen is the rationalist would be cast into a 'straw vulcan' role and ridiculed; more likely is that the whole rationalist community is made out to be a screwy cult to be ridiculed.
That makes sense since the producers are openly saying they are looking for people that fit stereotypes.
