1. More than 200 people auditioned to be on a new reality TV show in England called Let’s Make a Baby. Contestants were to live in a “love hotel.” The least attractive would be voted out each week and the last two couples would try to be the first to conceive a child. For money, of course. The show doesn’t really exist, it was a hoax filmed for the TV show Mischief. At least it won’t exist until Mark Burnett hears about the idea.

2. Viewers in the Czech Republic voted Richard, a 14-year old grey and black gorilla, as winner of Odhaleni, the reality show in which viewers watched gorillas on webcams at the Prague Zoo and voted for their favorite. Richard won 12 melons, didn’t have to conceive on camera, and plans on paying all his taxes, unlike another reality show Richard.
