A lack of privacy for a year, with no obligation to work and everything catered for me? For US$10 million?
It's a no-brainer, really.
For me, it'd be a year of (from the description) watching DVDs of classic comedy, drinking nice booze, and teaching myself a new language, and/or reading vast numbers of interesting books, with relatively few distractions.
You'd get used to it in two weeks.
Pretty much "this".
Hell, I could use it to get my Archery back up to scratch, since I've been kind of neglecting my longbow lately.
Playing soccer with the people I'm living with could be good too, even just kicking the ball around with them while catching up a few times a week.
It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: the above is also true for gaming. Even if I'm not allowed to play online games, I wouldn't mind converting a few (if not all) of the people I'm living with into at least avid gamers, and holding a good LAN once a month. Even just some casual gaming is also good for passing the time with people.
I already work out an hour a day, possibly could slowly improve my routine throughout the year.
Also, what thylasos said above. Plenty of free time to simply watch TV shows or movies while having some drinks with the people I'm living with.
Finally, yeah, the lack of privacy would suck pretty badly at certain times (e.g. the bathroom especially). But again, like thylasos said, I imagine I'd get used to it within the first month, and the rest will be pretty breezy. ^_^
I would like to add to what I imagine is already a large number of comments saying the same thing, though... Namely that while I'd gladly do this, I can't see it being a good show. At all. I mean, sitting down to watch people sitting down watching movies, playing games, or playing sports? Sure, I guess 2 hours every week could be spent on whatever drama happens within the week, but if there's a large enough amount of people to ensure drama every week, why would they pick me to join too? Especially for $10 million?
