As much neg. rep I have received lately for some pretty lame reasons I don't like my chances if we had this going on any time soon and I were to play.
That's why my only skeptical thing is how pre-existing relationships could really impact how the game gets played out regardless if someone is playing the game well versus how you have 16 complete strangers on the real show. It's just a game though so it would be interesting to see how giving it a trial run would work out.
