Not to worry. There are "foreign" versions of many U.S. game shows, so if this "reality" show does well, it may very well be copied all over the world...

  • The Siberia Experiment
  • The Sahara Experiment
  • The Antarctica Experiment
  • The Adrift-in-the-Pacific Experiment

I’m sure producers are already working hard to take this new concept way too far… just like all the other “reality” shows.

"...we gave you television..."

Ah ha! So you are who we have to blame for Big Brother huh? And all of that other mindless crap that is on the tube. Sometimes I think that things were a lot better before TV...

I'd love to spend three months doing the wilderness thing in Alaska on someone else's tab. I just don't like cameras much. i'm pretty stoic, and studios don't put rocks on Reality TV. Also, though I love the premise and am fully confident that i could do it, but I DESPISE reality TV and want no part of it. The little i've seen of a few of the series i watched just to have a good laugh at how ridiculous it is.
'scuse me now, i'm gonna go for a hike before the skeeters come out.

Though the first broadcast was in England, the television was invented in America.

Big Brother originated in the Netherlands.
