A version of Big Brother is wildly popular and controversial in the Arab Muslim world already.
The controversial part is men and women in the same building 27/7 with cameras on them.

Young people across different cultures aren't so different as you might imagine if choices are put in front of them and they're given the freedom to decide.
A story like this isn't that significant in the short haul but does point to a different Iran in the long term, a continuing wearing down of the crazy mullah scenario by the overwhelming majority.
Beirut is regaining its hard partying reputation as well.
