i'd love to see a 100k i just don't see that happening till second season.

i know they seem like low numbers, but this isn't youtube.

people are watching that show for half an hour and the exposure of initial ratings is key in building reality tv followers.

unless a show has a proven international success(americanidol/xfactor/etc) a reality show must garner interest it's first season and will succeed further down the line. Any of the most popular reality shows that didn't have massive star power(and many that did) didn't truly succeed till 4-5seasons in.

Real Housewives on Bravo, Laguna Beach/The Hills, IceRoadTruckers, IronChef, TopChef....the list goes on and on.

The u.s. network deal imo even it is in the works is a least 6 months away. Networks just don't move that fast unless it's a must-do-now type situation.

plus 16 shows is more than average to shoot on a reality show. usually finale is at #13.
