You're forgetting one indisputable fact, Nachtrafe.

In this day and age, the "appropriate qualifications" include several million dollars to spend on advertising.....something that is not available for the average "grass roots" candidate.

I presume this is one of the advantage FOX-TV will offer to the chosen candidate. It will certainly gain them more publicity than they could get on their own.
