Germany's year-long Big Brother experiment looks set to be a flop just two weeks after its launch despite on-screen sex and a strip show.

The show lost one million viewers in a week, bringing the audience down from 2.3 million to just 1.3 million viewers.

On the second night of airing, one contestant, Sandra, performed a sexy striptease for flatmates she barely knew.

And she has already ended up having sex with another contestant, Sascha. They even discussed sleeping together without contraceptive protection, risking Big Brother's first ever baby.

But the early onslaught of sleaze and sex seems to have put audiences in Germany off rather than pull them in.

Nine contestants from all levels of German society are battling it out for the entire year to win one million euros, the equivalent of £690,000.

The reality TV show is broadcast every evening seven days a week by private TV channel RTL II.

Doesn't surprise me to read this about the German BB.

A year long Big Brother is something that most viewers feel they can miss as it will be on tomorrow.Where as a normal series, with a beginning, a middle and an an end, is an event not to be missed.

Having said that the UK BB has the shortest run in the world. I'd like to see it extended to 3 months so that the dynamics of all those strangers living in the BB House can be seen to really develop.

Here's a quote from the article by a veiwer

One viewer who called the channel to complain said: "And this was only the edited version. I thought I had tuned into a porno channel by mistake."
