The crazy world of reality TV laid bare in Cannes

View of a palm sign as people walk past the Palais des Festivals and the official poster of the 66th edition of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes on May 14, 2013 Naked and stripped of all possessions in an empty flat: what will you choose to have back first? Viewers can look forward this year to love-sick priests, super-talented child musicians, manhunts, puppet competitions and ever more dangerous challenges, said TV expert Virginia Mouseler, from The Wit, a television consultancy. The market for reality TV ideas -- "formats" in the professional jargon -- is worth a staggering two billion euros ($2.1 billion). The British TV series "The Choir" -- in which contestants with little singing experience come together for professional training before a live performance -- enjoyed huge success and is spawning spin-offs.
