voor de mensen die het niet willen lezen of als de link niet werkt of whatever

het is een soort echte truman show; er worden ongehuwde mensen in een soort luxe oord 'gestoken' en zo mogen vanalles doen, er worden ook mensen van hun verleden in de show ingevoerd etc.

Wat vinden jullie hiervan?
Ik vind het dom.

de truman show was erg mooi en origineel

maar tis maar de vraag of deze ook zo mooi is, en origineel is het nu dus eigenlijk niet meer vind ik

If you think today's reality television shows go on forever, you've seen nothing yet.

Rupert Murdoch's Fox television is planning a new variant of the cut-price phenomenon that might literally never end.

Forever Eden, which is due to begin this northern spring, will take a group of unmarried people on an open-ended detour from their lives, transplanting them in a luxury resort abroad and letting them get on with everything attractive, fun-loving single men and women might be expected to do when paid to spend the rest of their days on the beach or in bars.

"These people could be on the air for six months, a year or three years," Mike Darnell, Fox's head of alternative programming, told Variety magazine.

"If you want to stay and you play your cards right, you could be on the air forever. It's the first real try at a reality soap opera."

The series is bound to invite comparisons with the 1998 film The Truman Show, in which Jim Carrey plays the title role as a man who unwittingly spends his life in a reality TV bubble.

Mr Darnell told another interviewer: "The idea is they are not going on a reality show. They are actually divorcing themselves from their lives."

The contestants, who will have no contact with the outside world, will be kicked out of their television paradise at the whim of the producers.

It is fair to expect that flamboyant and flirtatious behaviour will be rewarded, while any participant who decided to lock himself in their room to meditate or write a major American novel will not last long. Earnings will depend on longevity, and contestants who leave Forever Eden before their time is up risk losing their money.

"Even though they are living in luxury and it's going to be wonderful, we are going to introduce elements to make it not so wonderful," Mr Darnell revealed.

"Surprise guests may arrive, who are there to stir things up, who won't necessarily be members of the cast, but could be people from their past."

Casting has already begun, but it is unclear how big the final line-up will be.

Fox has committed itself initially to 25 episodes. After that, Forever Eden will last as long as television viewers want to keep watching.

...da's iets handiger .

En och, als er lui zijn die zichzelf in een kleurige schoenendoos laten stoppen en zich laten bekijken als een stel hamsters die kunstjes doen, zich willen laten belonen voor een hoereninstelling en wat stennis schoppen, en het niet erg vinden om je voor onbepaalde tijd anders voor te doen dan je bent - voor de kijkcijfers.. En bereid zijn hiervoor hun baan op te geven en hun geliefden te verlaten, dan mogen ze. Maar ik persoonlijk zou mijn kat niet willen verruilen voor een stel constant om mij heen roterende camera's.

Beetje lame.
