Brits Rule Reality
Just read about a new show debuting on BBC America and I just had to share. According to Salon, the new show is called “Dumped”
“Most of the eager contestants assume they’ll be flying abroad, perhaps to a remote island or a tropical rain forest to do something good for the earth while experiencing the glories of its natural wonders. They wish. The group travels by bus to a dump outside Croydon in South London, where they’ll spend the next three weeks living off the junk that their fellow Brits have thrown away.”
Sadly, they are given a few niceties like fresh food and toilet paper but I think it is a good thing to see people pushing the envelope when it comes to “green” entertainments. So far, most of the efforts have felt too earnest or too pedantic. Haven’t seen this one yet, so the jury is still out, but I do like the trend.
