I've made a lot of my own compilations of various reality shows, where I cut out all the uninteresting parts so it's ends up as a single video with only the good parts of the show left. Here's one for the Czech Republic and Slovakian version of Paradise Hotel. 🇨🇿 🇸🇰

Going to post this here as most of the UK Big Brother stuff is in this album. I would appreciate it if someone could download it and upload elsewhere as I am unable to currently. Simply type in the search when you Ctrl+F "BB" and it should all pop up.
Russia's first attempt at big brother reality tv/internet. Very controversial because of explicit nudity and Margo, a Russian 2000 Playboy Playmate contestant, and Maxim having sex on live tv. The show was telecast live on Russian tv (3) times a day as well as 24/7 live streaming video on the net.
Became aware of Za Steklom after reading this article on the web:

Russian 'Big Brother' Goes All The Way ~ A Russian show, which has been characterized as a form of the Big Brother show, has been taking the country by storm amid accusations of pornography. Za Steklom or Behind The Glass has a number of contestants in a flat in a hotel in Moscow. They can be viewed all day through one way glass and three times a day on TV. Already their antics have spiced up local TV, with two contestants having a shower together on the first night and many other liaisons keeping ratings high ...
The participants on some British reality shows have obviously been selected so they will provide friction and drama, but the people behind Za Steklom thought our Big Brother was too boring. Instead they used psychological methods to choose contestants who would get on well - very well ...
Reality TV has burst upon an unsuspecting Russian public, with the daily diet of sex talk, live romps, games and quarrels denounced as depraved by the Orthodox Church even as viewers send TV6's ratings heavenwards.
