Yesterday the Lebanese satellite channel LBC launched its newest reality TV show “Al-Wadi”. This program has been a hit in Europe, and now gets its chance with the Arab world.
The participants are well known stars from around the Arab world, from 9 countries in particular. There are 14 contestants from Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Morocco and Tunisia. But, there is a exceptional someone that is also going to be part of the farm … not a contestant, but the “principal” or “director” or “manager” of the farm, call her what you wish, she is Haifa Wehbe!
These people are going to live together in this closed farm for 3 months, and Haifa will be the one to take care of them and listen to their needs and complaints, and that is why she has her own big room, with an office and a balcony to over look what goes around in the farm.
The guys have their own room, the girls too, and even the animals have their own room as well. The stars will be sharing the farm with lambs, cows, chickens and rabbits, and even a lonely donkey!
Each week there will be a prime, where a contestant will be kicked out of the farm. You will be able to watch them 24/24 on the Nagham channel on Arabsat.

this is a copy of paris hilton and nicole richie's reality program called the "simple life"!
no no. its a copy of a program on british tv called the farm. there is a french version of it too. i'm not sure what other countries have also bought the rights too.
MOI HAS SPOKEN!!!!
I am sorry to say this...
what was the LBC thinking? producing yet another silly show. If anyhting we need more mature and nurturing programming. These are tough times for arab nations. People need awareness rather that meaningless superficial program like Al Wadi. Sorry LBC I a m disappointed in you. Maybe some day the LBC can make a show for kids a competitive show for the family to watch and participate in. Anyways happy viewing I think too bad if this show becomes popular it means there is no hope anymore in good taste !
this program is dort of like staracademy!!they have to live together in an area for couple months...thats a silly show..i cant believe haifa is directing it!(but i still cant wait till staracademy)
yalla peace!!
Another silly narrow minded show from the LBC and its silly directors. Its a shame how the lebanese became experts in stupid low entertainment! Shame!
i think this program will be nice , i like to watch the life of this poaple together , as a i like star academy
I don't understand why Haifa is the director though. Does it have anything to do with her new fiance from Saudi Arabia: Tarek Al-Jafari? She was acting like she owns the place.
HAIFA is the director cause love her or not haifa allways draws a crowd.
nice program. i will be watching it.
the programm SUCKS!!
why couldnt they put better singers...instead of putting all these arab singers i have never heard about.....
Yeah Arab people show us better entrtainment..And u Omar just tell me what you're doing personaly to the arab world cause i'm sure that u're one of these lunatic guys that spend their times in a cafe or in front of the P.C. Don't say cliche things just to show us that u exist and nobody's forcing you to watch the prg..And instead of crticising LBC do all of u something better u can be proud of...thx..
LIBANGIRL,
they are not all singers. they are a mixture of singers, actors, sports stars, tv presenters, etc....
y is da lbc always copyin other pplzz daaaamn yall need to think a lil of new things not always copyin
peace
when does this show come on in the USA and is it on LBC if not what other arab satellite channel is it on?
Lula, in America the daily show comes on at 9:00 a.m. and repeats at 4:00 p.m..The primes are on fridays and it starts between 5:30 or 6:00 p.m..
I'm personally looking forward to this show, it gives us a chance to get to konw these celebrities better and it seems like a nice show. But still Star Academy is better but this show seems nice. But Ghassan El Mawla kind of seems to obsessed with himself because all he talks about is sports and health but he is helpful and nice. Some of the celebrities aren't so talkative and are kind of boring.
Lula, i forgot to tell you it is on LBC. Bye take care!
Oh my god!! finally I'll see hayfa wahbi without make-up!!! That's not why I wanna see it. When do they put it on LBC?? the nagham channel does not work due to my satellite dish.
This Show is ok but i like MISS LEBANON Better bye the way when is miss lebanon? please answer back!!!!!
yha i wonder why they didnt put miss lebanon this year!!
hey i love this show it is ssoooo nice and i wish everyone luck and its nice because it gives us a chance to know these celebraties and to know them from inside how they think and act at all times. and i love Ghassan al mawla he is the hotteest in there and man that buffness is all that good stuff he is the man babyy. i love you all
Hey Ali, they said that they aren't going to put Miss Lebanon as a reality show this year but they will air it on t.v. soon but instead it will be a one night event or cut into several primes with no reality show.
..... Why is Haifa being treated as better than all off the other contestants?! Now for starters I didn't think I would like the program but I was bored so I gave it a shot. So far it is still boring. Second... I don't like Haifa but lets say you did it's still not fair to take celeberties from all other countries including Lebanon and say "These are the contestants and this is Haifa," mentioning her separatly. She is there so people will watch it to loook at her. Now is it just me or is LBC baseing all its shows of Star Academy (which I love) but this show? They want people to vote so they put in people from each region and to top it all off.... Haifa.
Actually Yezen I think you misunderstood..
Haifa is not part of the contestants..
She's just their leader
So you dont vote for her, and she's not their all the time..
She's almost like Rola in star academy .. only she has less power , i mean shes not as powerful as Rola is in star academy..
You know what I mean?
i mean no offence to lbc but this show is sort of stupid and kind of boring i dont see wat the aim is exactly??
I like this show. &&LBC isn't copying any other programs..it's doing it so they can give Arab singers a shot in fame.
So this is a reality show meaning we get to see Ghassan Mawla shirtless right? I am definitly going to watch it!! What time does it come on in America?? (Kind of like seeing Ahmed Sherif and other boys shirtless on Star Academy).
Oh i must add that many of these people are equivilant to B-actors in America, they are just looking at a way to get more famous, and grab the eyes of film directors, record companies, food/drink/hair product companies go after them. Kind of like how many Star Academy/Miss Leb contestants who didn't win have gotten record deals, films, tv shows, commercials, etc.
There was a show in the US called "hit me baby one more time" where singers from the 80s got a chance to sing and get attention again, and "Celebrity Dance Off" where celebs from the 80s also got a lot of attention, back into the spotlight. That is what these semi-celebs are trying to do.
I've seen the show,it's pretty good but Haifa Wahbi is too sophisticated.I like her alot but she needs to be normal like Nancy Ajram,Nancy Ajram isn't spophisticated at all~! I've seen Ghassan Mawla,what in the hell is he doing in the show??? They never mentioned him,but I'm not saying that I don't like him;;;;;;I want him to be in the show;;great combination:hayfa+ghassan++ Is there any tunisians??? Fianlly Hayfa wahbi does something besides singing;;
This show isnt really bad..! Hello! ITS SUMMER..they want something to entertain people..its not silly..but they could have brought better people to the farm..like Razan Mughrabi for example..or Nancy Ajram since Haifa is there..get someone thats a threat for somebody else..AHMAD AL SAQA..Nadine Njeim..There are better qualified people! Haifa should learn how to respect others..i was really disappointed when she gave her back to Jaqluine while she was talking to her..she's probably jealous because Jaqluin is prettier than her (naturally) and because she won MS LEBANON!Ihope they do the same thing next summer and get more popular people!!
Let me add something i 4got to add! there are many shows that u guys named..First of all..IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STAR ACADEMY! We dont know the people that enter Star Academy..and they have an aim they want to be STARS and they want to be POPULAR.THEY WANT TO SING AND ACT..while those already POPULAR STARS ( singers and actors and sport stars )!! This show is a bit like a show called " Get me out of here,im a celebrity " !! And all those who are saying that LBC is copying all the western programs then i think you should better take a look at MBC..Where they have "MIN JADEED"-->STARTING OVER..! and now they hav AL KHASER EL AKBAR-->THE BIGGEST LOSER!! Kalam nawa3em which i forgot what it is in english but i assure you that its taken off a western program! Atleast LBC is providing "entertainment" not non sense like min jadeed!:S Take a look at the GR8 success Star Academy did!! Even if its taken of a western program..its called STAR ACADEMY EL ARAB! same thing wit Superstar and American Idol..ITS CALLED SUPERSTAR EL ARAB! every1 against those realitytv shows on LBC have nothing better to do and just talking for the sake of talking not for the sake of making wat they see is wrong right! And whoever doesnt agree with what i said can answer back ! :D
the programe is very nice and all the participants are nice and cute . i was so bored this summer but now i am getting something to enjoy . but Haifa has to be modest and talk to all participants and share them not give them her naked back as i see . i like jackline she is funny and modest . but still haifa is so damn sexy , i am looking forward to see what she going to wear throughot the show ....!!
2 jenin:
u r right KALAM NAWA3M is another copy from american show called "the view"..
yours'

VIVA LA Q8
It is a really Gr8 Program, i enjoyed it but i don;t have time for it :D well i would luv somethin; better.
Adios
i do't kow ayoe from these celebrities cause they aren't so famous.i only know gassan mawla &haifa.good show but there is better it is something like copping
josephine
if i saw everyone in star academy 1 (just the boys)i would faint!!!!they are sooooo cute!!!!
and add samer doumit in there and i think i would die!!!
the view is soooo stupid tho
star jones is busy with her fat problems
maradith is obssessed with her son
and everyone else has guy problems
I Love this show yaaaa baby!!!!!! Keep up with work *HAIFA* BYEEEE .....
This Program its every nice and i think all the kuwait people are watching it honestly.and i love it every much and the people says its too bad and sucks na na na na noooo they are sucks and bullshit so i love u wadi and keep it up see ya,,,. Regard Fahad khald al Babtain.
I am watching the program just because of Haifa wehbe, you who's posting notes try to be brief as simple without criticising a lot. By the way, there was a program here in Switzerland too not only in the US called 'Die Burg' dealt with the same issue.. Tschuesss
Roro and everybody else ; Haifa wahbi was ignoring almost everybody ; Fame really made her a snob;; really, IT'S VERY HARAAM AND VERY VERY RUDE!!!
What does she think she is??? She's good and all but she has to change her mood with others.She counts the particpants as if they were == a big zero === and she's the sexy lookin snob --=== Haifa wahbi had hundreds of Plastic Surgeries!!!! She made her eyes bigger (EYEBROW LIFTING) She pumped up Her Lips and rolled them to look sexy,,her nose of course,she made her breasts alot bigger.she made her ass bigger too and alot of other things too,her plastic sugeries were well done.
why did they call it "il wadi" its a farm wadi means oasis
Dear HinDawDaw,
You have point there however Oasis means 'Wa7a' while Alwadi means Valley :)
Hey Slim, you are talkin about the way Haifa deals, maybe its just because the rule of th program is so... in addition, everyone who has the opportunity to do plastic surgery or anything else to look beautiful will not hesitate or look back....Ciao ciao
Hey Jenin, i agree with you because no offence to MBC they can't produce reality shows they all go down the drain like Min Jadeed that show is so boring and also The Biggest Loser looks like a stupid show. I think LBC makes the best reality shows and they become very popular and do well but MBC's reality shows don't do good. LBC is the best!!
They call it the Wady because the show is running in the BEKAA VALLEY..

do u know why is jacklen and farah are fighting and who wrote to jacklen these words coz it is big fight plz tell me.....thx
hanane is the best shuld win i like so very much
hanane from maroccc goog luck
hay ,i watched this program multiple times and i think the lBC should be more responsible than that and put something meaningfull not silly and stupid like alwady,by the way tell haifa to be more natural..hay we are arab ,we have to look for something more important ,and to think about issues that help us to be more educated hay look for ourslves we are copied
from america
hanane the best
vote for hanae ok
my friends , if u liked the program, u can watch lbc or nagham , in case u hated it it's very simple : u can change the station .a good idea nooooo ??

You know something, LBC has bought the rights of this program, and she changed some or much of rules like hayfa, the stars at the prime the singers, guests... And guess whta, Ghazi Féghali has taken a break from reality tv shows, he is busy with stacarademy, Miss lebanon, Hay hye el Ghinye, Hawakoum, did I forgot something. Anyway the difference is really clear between the two editors, a big program like THE FARM, I mean : La ferme célébrité (France) El wadi must have a biggest crew, some experienced ppl to watch the farm. What to say more, this program is a critic program of stars, look to the comments down the screen on the daily program, for exaple in france, they chose stas that are forgotten or they aren't working these days, and the put them in the farm to laugh on them because they are ignorant in all farms stuffs, they try to make deals to eat: Can u cook to me, i'll make with you an interview in my magazine when i come out... lol.
But the team at the end are divided, and one winner gain the best farmer and some money for an association that he came for it.... until now none talked about his association... lol.
Karen good work u did it, because in France 2 men presented the program and they blew it badly...
At the end the hit in other countries isn't always hit in the arabic world, we have to learn this. Thank you guyzz
willy willy !!
big big willy willy !!
bahdali walla .... extreemly boring program ... fighting most of the time and teasing each other .. w shawefeen 7al ad ma baddak ... 3eeb heek ... lbc please shu hayda!!!!!! ... i think instead of keeping haifa for 3 month they should bring every week fanneeni , mish shakil bas , shakil w madmoon kameen .. yemkin 3ala hal 7ali momkin bikoun al barnemij ashfa 7al ..... plus most of them knows how to act eddeem al camera expecially the leader haifa :S ... bsharafkon law jackleen al leader mish ahdam w atyab aleb ?
i love nancy ajram
Well....it's a very boring program but a7san mn without it , it's summer and star academy starts durring the school time ...

I think LBC likes only those whom shakes their body to make more attraction and obtain alot of money from callers and sms masseges. I don´t like the behavior of Fatma specaily yeseterday when she sang with very cheap movments like she was in cabare.. and what i wounder is that those behrainian are proud of it! proud of shake shake it baby there... infront of Yousif what a big hell!Is this what are you calling people of faith..I Think such a people if they get there chance they will do everything even.... thats why everthing is Haram in such a countries.. I feel very happy to know that this all because of REALITY TV

Je pense que dans El Wadi,c'est une vie de guerre et de conflit quotidien entre les participants.Il y a des molliers de téléspectateurs qui vous voient ,alors soyez mature dans votre esprit et "you must be more peaceful,good luck"

hey ok listen everyone is youlike the show then good but if you don't then its not that big of a deal just go and change the channel!! oh and by the way NO Haifa didn't have any plastic surgery!!! i think the main reason why people don't like this show is because Haifa is in it and a lot of you are just JEALOUS of her!!!
loooooooooooooooooooool I love haifa sooooooooooo much I love her songs........her style........she's beautiful and my style is like her style all her pictures are in my room and her news
she's a sexy cool cute beautiful girl

haifa is jelous of farah and khaled's friendship and whenever she loses a game she hitys him. Haifa just uses people and wants all attention, wot is so good about haifa anyway? ok she is pretty but i mean her voice is awful she cant sing she tries to act younger than her age she puts a ton of make-up on, she talks behind ppls bak and she doesnt actually live the farm life she goes out of the farm most of the time. sorry to say the truth but the truth hurts

I'm sorry...i'm new to this program...What exactly is the point of it? i mean on which basis do they elimenate a contestant or make them stay?? can anyone tell me please?! thnxxx
I think this farm is a bull shit. where are the dogs ? a farm with no dogs ? what a bull shit show and without Haifa this show is shit.
this is not reality tv. it's a lie
yes and just because Haifa is there - the show is worse i think the music is shit too and the idea of those "un-known" people ! who are able to afford to stop their lives for a reality tv shit ...something is not right and do you expect those idiots to become farmers ?!?!?!? losers and LBC is being stupid with these shows - greed for money is so important as a message these days
hi i adooore ghassan and jakline .... and mashry and i want to ask him why you act cool when you are alone and act regular when others are around?
