'Big Brother' style show for World Cup

[dutchman]

A Big Brother-style show is being planned for the World Cup.

The News of the World reports that programme, made by World Cup sponsors Budweiser, will follow representatives from each country in the tournament living in a house together.

The online show will include 32 housemates, one for each of the World Cup nations, with half of the contestants being male and half female.

Whenever a country is knocked out of the competition, the corresponding housemate will be asked to leave the show.

The show will be held in Cape Town and the final two contestants will win tickets to watch their sides play in the final.

The World Cup will begin in June.

TV company Endemol might have something to say about that since they own the worldwide rights to the whole idea.
