Evidently this is a new show on. There are going to be five people trying to live their dream while being on camera 24/7 ala big brother. If one of them makes it and moves out...somebody else gets to move in. No voting anybody out. Just watching people try to fullfill their dreams. It sounds like it would be a forever reality show..exclusively on the net. Starts today. Anybody else hear of it? Watcha all think? Its sponsor is www.hulu.com and the main web site is www.ificandream.com/

It is by Simon Fuller (American Idol) so it certainly has a big name behind it.

No real player needed!!!!!!!! Its free with a few advertisements. They start moving in soon. I can see one person in there...a female. not sure who it is. Why isn't this being more talked about? They went on an around the world tour to promote this thing. They will have weekly episodes to wrap up the week so to speak I guess. I am excited about this and just happened to fall on it by going to hulu to watch some old episodes of some ol' show I was gonna watch. Man...if I had't gone there today..woulda missed the opening day of this.

They really need to do something to up the publicity. Unless they are willing to go slow and let it build through word of mouth. LOL - It's a good thing you keep posting about it. I'd already forgotten it was starting.

They have a whole bunch of cameras and it appears that you can choose whatever view you want.

This could become the ultimate reality junkies wet dream...or a big flop. But the feeds are up and running and soon I guess they will be entering the house. Beautiful house by the looks of it.

I agree. It is a lovely house. It's funny with the cameras. I wonder if they will have some version of the front of the house (like BB) but right now it seems that the viewer can look at whatever camera they want to look at (and there are dozens of them).

I know...complete, unedited 24/7 feeds with no Front of the house. I think the only place they don't have cams are the bathrooms...but not sure. But, no devious plotting to get the others out. No voting. No challenges except for life dreams itself. Are we watching a potential budding superstar? It seems like it would be interesting to see the little nuances of the work that goes behind the scenes of building a superstar career. Ordinary stuff.

Thanks for the heads up on this show, Catbowl. I haven't found the feeds yet (am assumping they are at the website) but I'm enjoying meeting the peeps at Hulu TV watching the preview episode. They are all gorgeous. I can't wait to hear/see them perform.

The feeds are at the website http://www.ificandream.com/ Many cams to choose from and best of all..its FREE!!! If you look down near the bottom of the screen, there is a scrolling text and if you choose whats happening right now it seems to have the most activity going on at the moment.

Did someone say FREE??!!! I'm liking this show already ! Plus I adore that Elvis song. I thought it was on Hulu though, so I'm confused. Think I'll hop over to Hulu plus that site Catbowl posted, and check it out!

Ah thanks Cat! Is there a show up yet? I watched a few minutes of them eating dinner. Got REALLY bored and tuned out. But I can see it having potential. Just hope they are more interesting (and talented) than they seemed at dinner lolol. I did click on one guy singing a really nicely redone version of If I can Dream. Need to poke more later. Since I've been watching all my TV online, this will fit well into my life, if they get interesting lolol

Ohhhh I just love being on the net watching them be on the net.....NOT. OK...this can be real boring real quick. How many think this could be a flop? Jury is still out with me. Holding out hope that this could be revolutionary.

Well, I checked it out. But not sure I want to invest any time in it. Very first impression when I opened the website was seeing a bunch of 20-ish model/actor wanna bees. Since our favorite reality shows are over run with this ilk, I was instantly turned off, and closed the page. Then I tried to give it another go, and clicked on 2 bio's to see what their dreams really were. Sure enough, it seems to be a platform for model/actor wanna bees. No thanks. Good thing is, at least there's a platform for them. Let them all hang out on this show, and leave TAR and Survivor (and even Big Brother) to the real people! I guess that's my "big dream." LOL.

Wow, that is just amazing, all the cams! I haven't had a minute to read the thread, just quickly went over to check it out. Where is this house? I haven't heard any advertising for it, are all the ads on the internet or something?

What I don't get is..before somebody makes it big...aren't they a wannabe? Could one of these five have raw superstardom talent? We know that the other reality shows have subpar wannabe stars, but they are cast without any consideration for talent. These folks on the other hand have auditioned with talent in mind and they have had some education in the field. Are all the people who make it to the final 24 of American Idol singer stardom wannabes? They gotta have some talent I would imagine to have made it that far. I remember the first few seasons of AI had some clips from the house they lived in during the live show part of the season. They don't show that anymore...but I think they still do all live together during that time. This show is different than BB or Survivor. But then again...the jury is still out. It hasn't even been 24 hours.

I haven't spent much time looking at the feeds but if you click "Just Watch" it follows them around. LOL - Otherwise, when they leave a room to go somewhere else you have to manually find a camera that is on the room they went to (unlike BB). The picture quality is beautiful.

Just accidentally right now I found if you click directly on that little full body picture of the person at bottom, it goes right to the room that person is in at the moment.

Listening right now in the blue room Justin songwriting with the help of two people. Quite interesting cuz when I was waaaaaaaayyyyy young and played guitar I tried my hand at songwriting. Reminds me of that..but they are so much better at it. Did ya know he dated Mily Cyrus for a bit?

LOL Jimmer, I guess cuz BB is kinda scripted with stuff they can't do and stuff they must do, etc, that it feels more like a regular tv show. (And the first year was IMHO by far the best.) From what I saw of this 'show', it's just young folks sitting around doing very little. I like when they have activities on BB, and Survivor for that matter.
