The UK always thinks up the best reality shows
According to a report in Variety as well as an article on realityblurred.com, a new reality tv show is set to hit the air in the UK next fall sometime. The show is called “Dumped” and features, get this, 10 contestants living in a dump for three weeks. Why didn’t we think of that??
On Dumped, “the 10 [will have] to exist entirely on stuff from other people’s junk. Everything they eat, wear, shelter under or use — including the TV — will have to come from other people’s trash,� Variety reports.
Channel 4’s Andrew Mackenzie says, “Some of the tasks may be pretty gross, but in compensation the participants will find that even the finer things of life can be catered for — with the perfectly-useable luxury goods that get thrown away.�
Now tell me that isn’t a fantastic idea for a reality show? I wonder how long it will take for the US to steal the idea and “trash” it up some, in good American style. That’s what we often do to hit shows from the UK, after all.
