At the weekend I got a letter from the production company of a show called
"Big Brother". This was a very popular "greenhouse show" (cameras watching
24hrs a day) which ran last summer. They were inviting me to apply to be a
contestant in the new series this summer, because they wished 1 of the 9 to
be disabled this time. In the show the contestants vote each week to nominate
two people to be evicted, the viewers then do a phone vote to kick out one of
them. At the end of 9 weeks the one left wins a prize.

This seems full of pitfalls to me. It would skew the voting. Unless the
disabled person was ultra PC the disabled action groups would be down on them
like a ton of bricks. And its boring sitting round for 9 weeks just
nattering, notwithstanding missing family, work, e-mail lists!!!.

What do you all think?

Cheers
