 I think he might like extreme naturism.....

How about bog snorkeling?  You might simply convince yourself it's single-malt scotch you're wading through rather than icky sludge.

Well I have a soft spot for Rhett, so I would send hime for his extreme naturism.
 
 Otherwise his condescension and lack of empathy might make me want to send him here:
 
 Rough justice
 Living life in a cardboard box in a cold and windy doorway has little to recommend it. But Peacemaker Circle organise regular Street Retreats in cities all over the world. After paying a registration fee - which has to be raised by begging - participants are sent out to live on the streets, beg for sustenance and learn the workings of the inner-city. It is an initiation into the life of a street dweller.
 
 
 Participants are asked not to shave or wash their hair for 10 days before the retreat starts. They should come with one piece of ID, an empty plastic bag and wear old clothes (definitely no change of outfit necessary). Organisers promise to provide a list of soup kitchens and shelters.

Yes, my vote is for Rough Justice.
 
 After last night's performance I think we should send you on the Spin Out vacation

Spin out
 There is surely nothing more unpleasant than rolling head-over-heels down the side of a steep hill. It's enough to make anybody sick and dizzy. Well, now a way has been found to make it even more unbearable - by rolling headlong down the Perthshire hills strapped inside a 12-foot plastic sphere at speeds of 35 mph, an activity known as Zorbing. There is no steering, no brakes and absolutely no point. Apparently to really liven things up, it's suggested a gallon of water is thrown inside the sphere at the same time.

OK DAVE, been breaking away?
 
 Yeah, that would be the only chance of me getting to 35mph. Thanks for reminding me of my dismal performance.

we could send him anywhere and he'd leave early and give it a negative review

The performance I was referring to was your quick exit back to DC!
