Get A Life is a Living reality television show hosted by Jodie Marsh, which premiered 1 March 2007. The show consisted of five shy, nervous, unconfident and low self-esteemed participants who want to change their personalities for the better. Each of the five participants is assigned a mentor—someone he or she aspired to be like, at the top of their social ladder, confident, with a positive outlook on life. The mentors' job is to motivate their protégés throughout the show, giving them words of wisdom and encouragement. It was reported by the website Digital Spy on 16 March that Living had cancelled the show after just two episodes. However a third episode aired on Living2 on 20 March. Format The ten contestants reside in a large house for the four-week duration of the show's filming. There are five bedrooms, each one containing a participant and their mentor. The group is regularly driven to various locations and tasked with specialised teamwork-oriented challenges on which they are later graded. Once a week, an expert arrives at the house to teach a "masterclass" on various things the contestants need to improve upon. After four challenges, someone will be asked to leave the house. Each episode is an hour long (including adverts), except for the first episode which was an hour and a half. Ironically, the contestants are awarded points based on how well they perform in the challenges, and so the person with the fewest points would logically be the one most in need of the help being given on the show. Yet it is the person with the fewest points that is dismissed. The contestants are filmed at all times, and also have access to a diary room in which they can vent their true feelings. Series 1 Participants Mentors Episode One Synopsis Aired 1 March 2007. The first episode spanned the first six days in the house. Two challenges were performed, with one masterclass in between. The first challenge was a military-style obstacle course, including swinging over a pool of water on a rope, crawling under barbed wire and climbing a wall. The first masterclass was about general confidence, and saw the participants writing their flaws on six boxes. They then arranged these boxes like a wall that metaphorically stood between them and the rest of their life, and proceeded to demolish that wall. Finally, the second challenge took place in
