Even if you never watched it, you'll know what it's about. A group of people are shut up in a house together. Each week the viewers vote one of them out of the house until only one is left.
People love to find out about other people and how they live.
The series ended on a high. In fact it ended with such a good story that those of us who are cynical about the media might even consider it too good to be accidental. The series winner was exiled scouser Craig who immediately announced he was giving the whole of his winnings to pay for an operation in America that was needed by a friend of his who copes with Down's Syndrome. Incidentally this sparked off a public debate that led to one of our members, Colin Hill, being interviewed on cable TV about the access of people with Down's Syndrome to medical care. Real community is really attractive.
