The Monastery

In TLC's new reality show five men of varied backgrounds go off to live at a Benedictine monastery for forty days and forty nights. Producer Sarah Woodfort says that "The point has not been to create traps for hapless people to fall into. We're interested in exploring how people like us can live a good and purposeful life and what the 1,500-year-old monastic tradition can teach modern people."

I guess that means they're not excommunicating a participant at the end of each week.
