Well, that might be arbitary really.
HOWEVER, per-leeese, enough already. I think all of this stuff is detracting from the original, fascinating stuff of reality.
What is reality TV anyway? An illusion it seems to me. The original popstars wasn't so revolutionary. Apart from the fact it was done elsewhere (?Australia) first, it was more or less also done off screen for Take That, The Spice Girls, Westlife etc before we were ever blessed with seeing it.
BB1 and BB2 to some extent were, but now it's such an industry, it will probably be on the curriculum at the central School of Speech and Drama by 2003.
