Reality TV in Mongolia

Couldn’t help but notice this headline while browsing the UB Post website:

“Mongolia’s first reality TV show prepares to air”

According to the article, this new show will be very similar to Big Brother.  Six guys and six girls will live together in an apartment without TVs, radios, telephones, internet, newspapers, or magazines.  However, each room will have a camera in it to record the thoughts of each contestant.  After each show, the audience will dismiss one contestant until only one remains.  That person will receive 10 million tugrugs (approx $10,000 CDN).

In other news, Vietnam will support Mongolia’s bid to join APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation).
