Reality series hosted by Steve Jones. Eight feisty females are put in charge of ten macho males and challenged to create their own utopia on a beautiful Caribbean island. In every episode one man will be exiled from the island, with the last remaining man winning 30,000 pounds. In this first episode the two sides arrive on the island and the men have a shock in store when they are told they'll be subject to female rule. The women must decide among themselves who will be their queen.

Think this is shaping up to be a good show, promos look good, interesting idea. The one thing I was wondering about is whether this is the first T4 how to make it into primetime C4? I know Shipwrecked was on sundays around 6-ish but thats T4 territory, anybody think this trend might continue? There is some good shows that could make it into primetime, a bigger scale version of Vanity Lair would be good.

No I'm sorry, sounds and looks like crap to me. Cheap reality TV in the vein of Love Island dressed up as a social experiment.

God, Vanity Lair was awful - can't believe Shipwrecked was delayed for that.

I know it gets a T4 repeat, and is hosted by Steve Jones, but all in all it's a C4 programme, though odd it's URL is to T4. I'm sure there's been others - alot of the 4 Music content (the strand, not the channel) gets played out on T4 too.


Mainly though most T4 shows would be more suited to a primetime airing on E4 rather than C4, but no harm in C4 showing cheap reality stuff like this themselves in a late peak slot - after all C4's always been as much about this sort of programme as it has been the serious stuff.

Bit harsh Jason, I only get 3 tv channels at the moment and it beats staring at the wall to be frank, I dont mind those kind of shows at all.

Better than wall-staring -- well you've just made my point for me.

If the reality zombies went away, there'd be something more interesting for you to watch on C4.

Oh god, 12 minutes in and im regretting ever mentioning this at all, even for a scummy reality tv show it's still crap.

Trash TV at it's best though, not taking itself seriously at all though.

They'd never get away with a When Men Rule the World though would they!
