My immune sytem can beat up your immune system:
Two contestants are both exposed to the same common cold virus. If one gets sick, the other wins a fabulous prize (maybe a kangaroo). If they both get sick we bring out two new contestants and start again. If neither of them gets sick, we advance to round two: The Flu! This continues, with the diseases increasing in severity each round, until we get up to the black plague or cancer or something. The last man standing wins! Hooray! What do you think, is this a winner?
