Representative Lauren Underwood says she's got the skills to win political debates and immunity idols ... telling us Wednesday she'd kill it on the show "Survivor."

The Democratic Congresswoman from Illinois says that she absolutely loves the long-running reality competition show ... and with trust, alliances, and doing whatever it takes to win -- she says that's a lot like Congress.

Watch the clip ... Underwood lays out all the reasons -- including her background as a nurse and her time in the Girl Scouts -- she thinks she'd crush it on "Survivor."

Worth noting ... we talked to Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride recently -- and she says GOP lawmakers are better suited for the show "The Traitors."

Sounds like Congress is obsessed with reality TV these days ... which is better than when the House floor turns into a "Real Housewives"-level shouting match, we gotta say!
