This new series started last night on Channel 4. Did anybody watch it and, if so, what did you think?

I just caught the second half, when they interviewed the last 2 boys, and then saw the summary of all 6 hopefuls.

I think I'll reserve judgement until the contestants are actually on the island - I think that's when it'll start to get interesting.

Whats Eden?

I was watching my Temptation Island video so I missed it!

Will it be repeated???

This is how this month's Sky Magazine described 'Eden':

'Forget Big Brother. This month, E4 takes reality tv a stage further by dropping contestants deep into the Australian rainforest. Eden sees feisty young things surrounded by lush vegetation, rocky ravines and fresh water springs. Paradise? Don't forget, there'll be character clashes and limited provisions. Plus viewers will have their say. By voting on a special website, you can decide whether the Eden dwellers get any luxuries, plus who should stay and who should go. And you can contact them via a live weblink, and watch them 24 hours a day. If that's not enough,why not join them? In a clever twist, one viewer will be selected each week to appear on the show. For a real taste of paradise, check out Eden on E4 , from mid January.'

The second programme is on tomorrow night - 6 p.m., Channel 4.

If you want to know more about it, discolady has provided a lot more info on TalkBB in the 'General Gossip - E4 Eden' thread, or check out the website at http://www.channel4.com/eden

So no repeat of the first episode - not even at the weekends???

The programme proper set on the island hasn't started yet, Mark. The first few episodes are introducing potential contestants to the public, who then have to vote for their favourites.

The programme on Tuesday showed 6 boys and the public had to vote for their favourite 3. I think the results will be announced on tomorrow's programme. I assume that the next 2 or three programmes will be similar, until a set number of contestants have been picked. Then the show proper will start.

Phew thats ok!

I have every reality TV show on video and when I saw that I had missed "Eden" I thought noooooooooo!!!!
Im gonna have to record it as it sounds pretty good!

Sad aint I!

Anyone been watching Eden recently?

I caught a bit of the programme on Sunday where they showed you how they picked the area in Australia where the show would be filmed. Vernon Kay said that apparently the 'locals' pinned a note to the door of one of the huts they had built saying 'You're not wanted here'!!

Back in the studio, they then announced which 3 girls and boys had been selected to go to Eden.

I assume the show proper starts tonight.

[LEE]

No Kaz I haven't watched any of it, I keep forgetting.

I'll try and remember to watch it tonight.

[Mark]

hmmmm...

I just looked on sky digi guide and can't find Eden anywhere???

What time and channel is it supposed to be on???

Mark

[LEE]

It's Channel 4.

I've just had a look and it's not on tonight. It's on at 6pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, with an omnibus at 1pm on Sunday.

I watched Eden for the first time last night.

It does look quite interesting and I am going to make a point of remembering to watch again on Thursday. It wasn't however, something that immediately grabbed my and said 'You must watch this!', like BB did.

I don't think I'm gonna get hooked but I'm certainly going to watch the next couple of episodes to see if it gets better.

Because I missed the first shows, could someone explain to me how it's gonna work. How many people will end up in Eden? When do we start voting them off, and how does that work? What do they win?
