but the dutch have taken the idea to the extreme.
A show called "De Gouden Kooij" - The Golden Cage (spelling might be attrociously wrong there) has a similar idea, the twist? shitloads of people in a mansion, each week they must unanimously nominate one person to leave the house, if they can't decide, then nothing happens. the show runs INDEFINITELY, i think it ran for well over a year before the producers started getting edgy, i think they forced a closure eventually. the winner got to keep the mansion. not bad.
EDIT: Nope, you're right, twas originally Dutch, well that explains a lot.........
