i think ours is based on the aussie rules version. in which case, in a twist of irony, ours is probably worse.

yeah, it is, but there is no way you could get worse than ours. Or the jokes our comedians make (still giving every member a humorous something-spice name)

Well, you don't want them having ideas of their own - or creative freedom! That always leads to trouble.

The Canadian girls 'maufactured' (sic according to the subject) pop group was going to be a quintet. They got clothes, poise and glamour lessons, shot the pilot episode, did some tracks ..and then one of them stole another's purse. LOL. Now it's a quartet and the producers are going nuts trying to edit six months of footage before the show airs. ROFL.

It's interesting you say that because I've noticed that English tv shows generally don't care about looks as much as shows from the US or Aust, and I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on why this is so?
By the way, this isn't an insult, I'm just amazed at how
un-superficial the shows are.

Are they? Which shows?! The UK version of Popstars was about as superficial as it gets, and as for Big Brother and Shipwrecked, well...

I don't mean the shows are un-superficial, I mean just the idea that being beautiful isn't an automatic prerequisite for every single show, as it seems to be everywhere else.

Good point. And an interesting fact. Television is not like film as a media. It does not require the same glitz and glamour. It isn't just that 'everybody' has their own 'handicam' these days and kids are used to jerky hand-held images of un-made-up real-life people talking without scripts - there really is something about tv as a medium that works best with 'reality'.
The so called reality-based shows are realising that. Hollywood style sets, dress, and make-up do not make good tv. As an eye on reality television works best. Or to put it another way, television works best as an eye on reality. That's why just plain folks, and everyday people look better on tv than movie stars.
