Jungle Camp Reality Show

 For the past 10 days....a German commercial network has run their yearly Jungle Camp reality show.

Best description?  Fifteen-odd days with 12 B-level promi people who are forced into a jungle camp setting....getting marginal sleep....being 'tested' once per day....trying to score points on their stories and lifestyles....and being graded by the public. 

It's been on fourteen years and this year is a bit different because they vacated Australia.....moving the operation to safari-like operation in South Africa.

On my list of shows to watch?  It'd normally be a 'no-go'.  But I'm mostly left with crap choices off public TV and marginal shows from the commercial side.  

So last night, the oddest thing happened.  A test occurred and the odd guy (he's a bit weird) said he won't participate on tests.....which are the key to getting 'extra' food for the entire group.  So they will mostly live off beans and rice for the remaining six days....if he is selected by the group to be the test participant.

They've never had a case like this.

Exhausted?  I'd say this group is more stressed out and exhausted than any previous group in their production lifetime.  

The guy responsible for this behavior?  He says that he's a reincarnation character, and was some knight from 800 years ago.  He also says the group has 'no energy' (no aura).  

Attracting a lot of attention?  Tonight, I'd expect an all-time record of people at 10:15 to view the action.
