Endemol invented it... It was quite something when it first aired... THAT was reality TV... And then to think that we didn't have commercial tv till 1989... We had only 3 channels till then!
TV10 (Joop van den Ende owned that one, and he is/was half owner of ENDEmol) was the first commercial station in the Netherlands...

All the European countries have their own Big Brother and they're more entertaining only in that some truly 'adult encounters' happen.....uncensored of course.

Man, that's what the internet's for... then you can skip all the crappy drama

Exactly. This is like a politician "deciding to step down" after they find out he slept with a goat and has underaged boyfriends.
