Who would be interested in a non-celeb version of the show. I think it would be good because it wouldn't rely on star power and it would probably be an interesting thing to watch as we could relate to the contestants.

I would apply for this if it ever happens as it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity!!

Yeess

They kinda tried that with Survivor way back didn't they ... it really didn't take off

As I said a couple of weeks ago, when exactly the same question was asked...

This already happened a decade ago - it was called Survivor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivo...K_TV_series%29

Like Big Brother, the first series was superb.
Like Big Brother, the second series was much poorer.
Unlike Big Brother, it then died a swift and merciful death*

It was swiftly replaced by the 'similar but different and with Tony Blackburn'... I'm a Zeleb.

* Shame the BB producers forgot to follow suit the third time...

Strangely, Survivor is still going strong in the US. It's not often I credit our American cousins with better taste than us here in Blighty.
