Big Brother is Being Watched by You!

The reality show Big Brother will be coming to SL! I've mentioned before how much it bends my brain when things get a little too meta, and by this point all of you can hear the sloshy sound emanating from my skull as I walk by. TV programming company Endemol (which sounds like either a therapeutic drug, or the command the demon in your brain gives you) announces that 15 international residents will be selected to inhabit a specially-constructed glass-walled house, from which residents will be voted out one by one over the course of a month.

The winner will win an island, reputedly valued at $1,675, which translates to a Metric Tonne of Linden dollars. The announcement makes no mention of the continued rent the winner will need to pay on a monthly basis, or where this island will be located. How are the contestants even going to be selected? If any of our readers has been contacted by Endemol, or have any other information about this project, please let us know! It would be great if they'd actually turn this into a TV show, done just like the regular Big Brother show, but that's probably too much to hope for.
