arab world says assalamu-alaikum to reality tv
Reality TV will (finally!!!) hit the Arab world when "Al Hawa Sawa" (Being Together) starts airing later this month. The show will allow viewers to witness the true story of eight women, picked to live in a house and have their lives taped, and to find out what happens when they stop being polite and start... competing to win an arranged marriage. Bahrain Big Brother is also in the works. We here at two-twenty predict that these new additions to the summer line-up will quickly oust whatever programs currently top the list of most-popular television shows (we tried and tried and tried to find out what those are but can not read Arabic and humbly apologize to the wise and all powerful Allah).
