I hope they introduce a bit of Japan in the show, but everything I saw was inside the silly looking studio.
Now THAT sounds like a typical American "reality" show.

And I was all excited, too .

I don't get the appeal of smooshing ten clashing-personalities into a single house and making them all compete with each other. In my opinion, all those shows ever do is show just how low a person can get either to meet a goal or just for the hell of it.

I may still TRY watching this one, just 'cause it's in Japan... but I don't think I'm going to hold my breath anymore :P .
