Ready… Steady… Sperm

After Big Brother and Jungle Camp, Germans can tune in to a TV reality show this week that breaks new ground in trashiness … Sperm Race. Twelve men will compete against each other to see which one of them has the ‘fastest’ sperm.

The contestants, who include two German celebrities and a health freak, begin by donating sperm in a clinic, say the programme’s producers, Endemol.

The sperm will then be frozen and sent to the company’s studio in Cologne, where the sperm will ‘race’ towards an egg – lured by a chemical that encourages them across the finishing line. Three doctors, including a gynaecologist, will be on hand to make sure the sperm behave correctly, while cameras will record it all.
