Big Brother Goes Bananas (press report & discussion)
 

The rows and fighting in the Celebrity Big house will seem like nothing to contestants taking part in a Chinese version of the show.

A zoo is running the BB-style competition - where the contestants have to live in a monkey enclosure.

Six people will live with the monkeys in the zoo in the northwestern province of Shaanxi "to experience the lack of freedom the animals have".


The China Daily newspaper says the last person remaining will win 11,888 yuan (£780) and the title of "Honorary Animal Lover".

"It is the first such activity in China, and any Chinese from 18 to 60 years old, in good psychological condition with wild animal protection and survival knowledge may participate," the report added.

It is not yet known what type of monkey the contestants will be living with.

£780? :joker:

How odd!

Thanks for posting though, that made interesting reading...

Wierd.
I can't belive the prize money is £780!!

£780 is probably a lot in China, cos they're a communist society?
I dunno, I've got a really bad World Knowledge :bigsmile:

I'm sure you don't. I do.
I thought that it snowed in India:laugh2:
