Salon.com has a fasinating Dave interviewhttp://salon.com/ent/feature/2003/10/01/paradise/index_np.html
Salon.com also has an earlier fun article about PHotel and other reality shows.
You have to read an ad to get a day pass, (only takes a sec)but it's worth it. Great stuff.
P.S.
First time posting. Loved the show. Rooted for the big 4, hated the rest, with passion.
