'A television company is to broadcast a Big Brother-style reality television show for Arab countries in which young women compete to win an arranged marriage.
The eight women chosen will live together in a house watched over by TV cameras.

They will be introduced to a series of bachelors, with family members on hand to offer advice on who would make a suitable husband, while viewers get the chance to vote for their favourite couples.

Al-Hawa Sawa - or Being Together - will be aired in several Middle Eastern countries this month.

Although the makers say they will respect "all aspects of Arabic culture" - explicit tattoos, shorts and "form-fitting leotard or Spandex-type clothing" are banned - the notion of a group of women competing for a husband is bound to draw criticism from devout religious quarters.'

Media Guardian, 13/12/03.

Of course this programme will draw criticism from religeous guarters.
The majority of men who dont class themselves 'religeous' will condemn the girls for taking part.
You think the females in our society get a bad name when they take part in BB or any other reality tv show?. Well it is nothing to what these girls are setting themselves up for. :oops:

Thinking about it, I see similarities between this show and 'Mr Right' & 'Joe Millionaire'.
