Without Prejudice?

C4 screen in extra ad break

Without Prejudice - an interesting show which was worth watching just for the reaction of the winner but I'm not sure if it will work as a series. Anyway, five contestants are whitled down to the finalists one by one, with an add break after each elimination.
