There’s Something About Miriam aired in 2004. Me and my mum usually spent quality time together during the winter watching shows on one of only two TV stations we had reception for at our rural farm in dark and wintery Iceland.This one was a dating show where six hunky and conventionally attractive white men competed for the love of Miriam, a young, Mexican woman, with black straight glossy hair and a banging body.
Every week they’d engage in challenges for the possibility of going on a date with her.At the end of each episode Miriam would send one of them home until there were only two to pick between, where one would emerge as her knight in shining armour and whisk her away on a romantic cruise.
