OurPrisoner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OurPrisoner is an Internet reality television show that featured 35-year-old man Kieran Vogel, who lived on camera for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for an entirety of six months in a single family New Jersey home.
The show began on June 14, 2006. All of Kieran's actions were to be controlled by the public. Through a series of votes, viewers were to choose what he ate, what he wore, what he did, and whom he saw. The OurPrisoner show came to an end on December 15, 2006 and Mr. Kieran Vogel received $500,000 worth of prizes; had he failed to perform any tasks, he would have received nothing.
According to the press release "Through an interactive media platform viewers will vote to determine what Kieran Vogel wears, what he eats, whom he dates, to whom he talks, what music he listens to, and much, much more. He will also react to viewer calls and emails. Kieran, who suffers from mental illness, waived his rights to privacy and doctor-patient privilege to allow viewers to see his twice-a-week therapy sessions."
The series is the first program by BigString Interactive. BigString's CEO Darin Myman is creator of the show.
BigString Interactive is currently holding auditions online for who becomes the next "prisoner" on the show's second season.
