Didn't say it was better, but thought I clearly outlined how it is different (in the final para of my last post .. tasks, isolation, how participants stay in the game).

It's also pretty odd to compete with and work against each other to do something for charity, in my opinion. The constant competition causes unnecessary conflicts and the "losing" team usually don't benefit from the effort they put in their project. I'd rather see people work together to achieve something good, without the necessity of some of them being "losers" and someone getting "fired" each week.

But these shows are "games" with the elements of competing that implies, and firing/being voted out is the chosen means of progressing to a winner .. a bit like heats really.

Okay, it's after 2 a.m. and maybe I'm just too tired to get this... What kind of "misunderstanding"? How can you take part in a TV show "due to a misunderstanding"?

I said due to a misunderstanding "he felt obliged to honour". Meat said he was asked each year to appear and said no. On this occasion he was on a film set when the call came through. He was distracted and thought he was saying yes to them getting back to him. They took it as yes to appearing. They didn't call him back and he put it out of his mind. Later when his management expressed surprise that he had agreed he realised there had been a misunderstanding, but by then the company had moved ahead on the assumption they had his agreement. He felt obliged to honour it. That's why I wrote what I did. Any more detail you'd need to ask Meat.
