Ask yourself, if it was real life it'd be endless footage of waiting in goverment department queues filling in forms and getting the 'leccy switched on. Hardly riverting.
I'd like to be pleasantly surprised but I'd put this month's wages on knowing pretty much how this'll turn out. And I'm not a betting man 8)

Well I have watched a lot of those pragrams like a place down under etc,before we were granted our visa, and laughing at other peoples mistake's and misfortunes was furthest from my mind, in fact I learned a lot of precious information and was grateful to the people who were brave enough to put themselves in front of the camara in the first place regardless of weather they did it for money.
Maybe hardly riverting but I guess that is why there is more then one channel, or even better the off switch.
