I think all of them should be on stage together. I hate Rick Santorum but he's actually a pretty good speaker, and I think he could hold his own against anyone else on the stage. And I while I also dislike Chris Christie, he's a fantastic speaker and a pretty good (but evil) politician, and he would destroy Donald Trump in any debate.

The way Fox has this setup is unfair to the last 8 of the 18 candidates. They should all Boycott the debate.
