 Truman Show + Real World = Big Brother
By Jack on September 28, 1999 11:11 AM
What do you get if you combine "The Truman Show" "Ed TV" and MTVs "Real World"? You get Holland's "'Big Brother"! In a prefabricated one-story house in this warehouse district east of Amsterdam, eight captive Dutch people are exploring the outer limits of reality television. The group has agreed to spend 100 days shut up without visitors, news, telephone or other communication with the outside. They have television, but only from the wrong end: They're on it. Every move, every meal, every harsh word, is videotaped 24 hours a day and then compiled into a half-hour program called Big Brother that virtually everybody in this country is watching. The Almere Eight also are live full-time on the Internet creating http://www.big-brother.nl the Netherlands most visited site. A $118,000 prize awaits the winner, who will be chosen from the three finalists on Dec. 31 Producers thought they would get 6 million hits over the 100 days; they have already gotten that many.
