RealNetworks and Endemol USA Team Up to Offer Full Lineup of Reality TV Shows

Endemol USA, the world's largest independent production company and market leader in digital entertainment with global hit franchises such as Deal or No Deal, Big Brother and 1 vs. 100, has teamed up with digital entertainment services company, RealNetworks(R), Inc., to offer full-length episodes totaling 80 broadcast hours of some of the most outrageous reality TV shows from the U.S. and Europe via the SuperPass subscription service.

SuperPass subscribers now have instant access to their favorite reality TV shows that are no longer airing on primetime TV. Many of the new shows are already available, with the full line-up debuting over the coming weeks:

  --  Anything for Love (Previously on Fox) -- How far will people go in the
      name of love? Featuring participants' amazing stories of love and
      heartache, this show provides viewers an inside look into emotional
      reunions, extraordinary blind dates and touching marriage proposals --
      ultimately revealing -- how far would you go for the one you loved?

  --  Chains of Love (Previously on NBC/UPN) -- This show is the ultimate
      21st century dating show where people are literally chained to each
      other. Each female contestant chooses four men she is attracted to.
      She is then handed $20,000 and will be chained to these potential
      suitors for no less than seven days! Followed around the clock by
      cameras, this chain gang has to do everything together: shop, eat,
      sleep, and even shower! Has the experience of being chained to the
      other person formed a lasting bond between the two of them, or will
      the contestant undo the lock and pocket the lot?

  --  Fool Around With . . . (Never before televised in the U.S.) -- This
      reality show is driven by two single ideas -- sexually charged air and
      money, as a real single girl looking for love and some cash moves in
      with five guys. All the guys say they are single, but four of them are
      lying! Their girlfriends are watching their every move and secretly
      coaching them to be very convincing and flirt outrageously! If the
      girl chooses the real single guy at the end of the week, she wins
      10,000 pounds Sterling. If she chooses an already attached guy, he
      wins the 10,000 pounds to share with his girlfriend.

  --  I Want to Be a Hilton (Previously on NBC) -- Everyone's heard of the
      Hiltons, especially daughters Paris and Nicky, but what would it take
      to actually live like them? Kathy Hilton, mother to Paris and Nicky,
      hosts this engaging and humorous series that follows 14 eccentric
      young contestants as they vie for the opportunity to live the
      glamorous lifestyle of high society. Each week Kathy eliminates those
      who "didn't make the list." The finalist wins an extravagant prize
      package including a $200,000 trust fund!

  --  The People's Champions (Previously on FX) -- This hilarious game show
      is the ultimate reality competition for the "Jackass generation."
      Never mind being the fastest, tallest or most dedicated, The People's
      Champions is all about incredible feats of human endurance in some of
      the strangest and most obscure challenges ever performed.

  --  The Salon (First time available in the U.S.) -- Real customers,
      11 real beauticians, real hair-dos... The Salon offers a sneak peek
      into the glamorous world of hair salons. With high drama ranging from
      haircuts to staff tantrums to manicures to juicy gossip, viewers get a
      glimpse into every aspect of the beauty business.

  --  Under One Roof (Previously on UPN) -- Five families, complete with
      teenage children, compete for their own slice of paradise under the
      hot Polynesian sun. Taking place on the island of Koro in Fiji, the
      families are dropped off at different points, but equidistant from
      that idyllic home for which they are competing. The challenge is to
      find the house with a global positioning system based on the latest
      satellite technology. The situation is ripe for tension, conflict and
      emotion. In the end, the family that works best together wins a slice
      of paradise.
