Despite derision from many intellectuals and other critics, not least about the ironic aspects of aspects of George Orwells dystopic vision of 1984 being conciously aped by producers for public entertainment - and people volunteering to do so for the slight chance of a generous, but not massive prize, the show has been a commercial success around the world. While any pretences to be a cultural experiment are dubious, reports of the different results of the show around the world have been mildly interesting (in Australia, after a few weeks it became clear that most of the remaining housemates liked each other and had no particular desire to evict each other, whereas other versions have involved plotting in the vein of Survivor. Some European versions have been filled with sex-crazed housemates, whereas the Anglo-Saxon versions have been mostly sex-free). |
