   It’s a moot point, but it’s Rene, not Renee.

   Also, this is what’ll be replacing Big Brother in the 7pm weeknights slot when it finishes. Here’s hoping it won’t be another HotHouse…

   Is it just me or is the premise of this concept nothing short of disgraceful?

   Some chick – clearly it doesn’t matter whom – gets assigned a camera crew, gets set up with any number of guys to browse – all of whom are going to be like-minded (“Oh my god, I’m almost out of my 20s and I’m not married yet – get me somebody… ANYBODY! Love is no object.”) – and in 13 weeks, tops, is gonna be walking down the aisle with one of these doofuses.

   There’s not going to be any chance of getting a feel for a real, regular relationship with the entire production going on around them until it’s too late.

   Once the production – with all its people organising things for 16 hours a day – finishes, they’re left to their own devices and to find out what each other is really like… Maybe, with no one around, he gets argumentative and we descend into a hell of Dom Vi. Perhaps, with the cameras out of the way, all she ever does is slob around the house in sweat pants.

   I expect that the show is going to be putting a lot of emphasis on the question of ‘Is THIS True Love?’ This may be reality TV but there’s no fricken way that there’s going to be any true reality for the subjects until it’s all over.

   My call… unless there’s some religious imperative that prevents them from divorcing, they’ll be history within 18 months. Long enough to have the re-visit for next year’s series and then fall apart.

   Is it just a coincidence that this Yasmin chick looks like a younger Gretel Killeen?

    My ideal man looks like a surgically enhanced, mentally disturbed Brad Pitt. Our life together is going to be very interesting.

    I think we should do a hubby swap, Anonymous. I’m bored with mine and yours is such a spunk.

    Is it really for us to judge? It’s hard enough finding a partner in the usual haunts, bars, clubs, etc. If she’s got a team doing the screening for her, why not?!

    Who knows if it will last, but then who knows if anyones marriage will last!
