I've just found out that my brother-in-law’s brother (what does that make him? Brother-in-law once removed?) was recently on a Norwegian reality show. Following the format of a British show (which itself probably ripped off an American one), it involved twelve couples all helping to build a “dream” house, but every week one of the couples would be voted off and would walk away with nothing, until the final couple won the house. He and his partner made it to the eighth week.

Obviously, as with any show that involves a high-stakes prize and lots of voting, things get unpleasant at times. However in this case, and I have yet to establish exactly what happened, my brother-in-law-in-law’s machinations in the house look like they will result in a court case. Six of the couples who got voted off intend to sue him, his partner, another couple and the TV company.
