Paradise Or Bust follows the dream of two 26-year-olds, Ben Keene and Mark Bowness. With no experience and little money, they've leased a paradise island in Fiji, started a website and hope that up to 5,000 strangers from around the world will join their website community, or "tribe", and help them build an eco-tourist village.
I don't understand the agression toward the project ... why does it get everyone's backs up so much?
You really should do some more research into that which you attack - your comments all reek of ignorance.

How sad that the haters have to spew their venom on projects like this. The alternative to the, perhaps idealistic, eco-village was yet another Starbucks/Hilton/Mcdonalds style faceless cloned resort, sucking the local fresh water, contributing nothing but money and pollution to the local community. At least these people were trying to do their world travel in a way that contributes to the locals.

How can you be grateful. You don't have to live there.

I only watched the near start of the programme, with my 18 yr old son and thought , what a good idea ! watched it tonight 12/02/08 and am really upset, they don't respect the people there( the women talked about the clothes the girls wore, so did a guy) also this is a community who don't drink! if you are going to take on a task like this, at least respect the people you are doing it for. live their way or don't go there!
