What happens

The Bar (Swedish: Baren) is a reality competition television franchise that originated in Sweden in 2000. It also started to air in Norway the same year and was developed in other countries starting from 2001. The premise of the show is that for around two months, a number of contestants work in a bar while attempting to avoid periodic public-vote evictions from a communal house and hence win a cash prize. The show was devised by the Swedish company Strix. The show first aired on TV3 Sweden on 24 April 2000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
