What happens

Való Világ (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈvɒloː ˈvilaːɡ], lit. Real World) is Hungary's reality show aired by RTL. ValóVilág became the most popular Hungarian reality television program ever. The show was aired in the same time slot as the localized version of Big Brother. While TV2 recorded the highest number of viewers in 2002, Való Világ 1 had an average of 1.5 million. In 2003, Való Világ 2 was a breakthrough. While it had 1.75 million viewers daily, Big Brother 2 recorded only 800,000 viewers. RTL started the third season, which was an absolute success with 2.06 million viewers daily. The first three seasons were broadcast between 2002 and 2004 but returned in November 2010 for the fourth season after years of hiatus. In the sixth season, it was transferred to the newly launched channel RTL Kettő. For the seventh season in Autumn 2014, RTL Kettő remained the host. The show holds the Big Brother license since the eighth season and began using the name Való Világ powered by Big Brother. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
