ITV, starting usually between 5:30-6:30. Hosted by Chris Tarrant. Fact: Several foriebn versions exist. I believe the original is either Italian or German.

Now then, now then. I a) write a web-page, b) write a web-page about gameshows and c) write slightly geeky post-modern comedy. How much do you think I go clubbing? Exactly. I sort of go down the pub a little bit. Still, ten men and 400 hundred women, all probably drunk and all probably liking to 'live it large' all come together to infuse their enthusiam (man) on a Saturday night to decide which of the ten men is, well, the best.

You know the type, yes, generally shouting 'BARRY!' from a great height and indeed part of the fun of the show (for me as a male at least) is hoping that the tossers all leave very early.

The show is hosted by Chris Tarrant of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? fame as well as being a Capital FM DJ and purveyor of a really bad advert for his own Summer Party album. He does his best to knock the lads down as well as flirting with the audience which is, y'know fun.

The prize for being picked as Man O Man by the women is £10,000 of motorbike whilst all the losers get pushed into a swimming pool, usually to the sound of 'Horny' by Mousse T and Hot and Spicy by some 'top' female celebs.

In Round One, we are introduced to the blokes by looking at their baby photos as well as descriptions. All the men are allowed to describe themselves in three words, but invariably the words "sexy, saucy and very naughty" or suchlike come up all the time. Then: apparently it's no good having a boyfriend that can't dance so here we see them dance.

Every couple of rounds the girly audience vote on who their favourite is. The blokes line up at the poolside and then some dancers/celebs come on and push the people with the least votes into the pool. This is one of those moments.

Down to seven men now and now they have to work out the inner workings of the female mind. To do this, they're asked questions, either relating to three people on stage (which one of these girls is a bodyguard?) or a true or false question relating to a poll in the audience. The blokes run behind the woman or the board of their choice and then we find out if their correct or wrong. After six questions, we find out who got how many right. And then there is a vote. It doesn't necessarily matter if a person didn't get many correct, as long as the girls vote for them.

And now: five for perhaps the funniest part of the show - the singing round! Yes, each bloke maims a song live for the audience and most of them can't sing. This is funny. On occasion there's a Test Your Strength thing and a kissing bit.

Another vote and there are only three left. Now, each celeb asks each of the remaining lads a question relating to relationships and situations and the like and they try as best as possible to answer them convincingly and in such a way as to please the audience. They don't know the questions beforehand and sickly answers generally get boos from the crowd whilst slightly racier (oooh!) answers usually get cheers.

Then the bit the girls have been waiting for - the bit where the blokes wear nothing but swimming trunks and do something mainly physical! Wow! It's quite sad really.

Finally we have a chat to the remaining boys' Mums about what they think of them - and any past girlfriends of theirs which may impart some information to the audience.

Finally the final vote, who is going to be that week's Man O Man? The women vote, then all three celebs come on stage and throw the two losers into the water. Hurrah!

OK, it's tacky and it's extremely cheesy but it IS quite funny and not badly made and as I said at the top, it's quite satisfying to see the gits go. Many people (men usually) have said that this is objectifing men and how women wouldn't like it if it was the other way round. Oh come on, they're only there because they're "up for it", and anyway there's always Miss World. It's just a bit of fun!

Verdict: 5/10 - Fun, but probably more so if you're a woman.
