Talent Factory

Last night, Lena and I watched, what we always watch on Saturday and Monday nights (actually almost everynight), Talantu Fabrika. Which is a reality show thats a mix of American idol, and Big Brother. A group of people live together in a place that has cammeras everywhere and every week they sing a song in a concert. Every song that wins will be included in a musical that will be preformed by the winners of the show, this summer. The concerts are Saturday nights and one person get voted out every Monday. Its been going on for the last four months and last night was the final vote to kick someone out. I don't exactly know how Lena and I started watching this show, but its turned in to a tradition. There is a whole TV channel devoted to it. It should be interesting to see how the musical turns out. Its still being written. Saturday is the last concert. The singer with the most votes wins a car, but the whole group makes it into the musical. Latvia's continuing fasination with reality shows is amazing. In general Latvian society moves from one trend to another. Bars don't close they usually fade away due to unpopularity.
