Four cities were being considered for a new reality show:  Nairobi, Kenya; Melbourne, Australia; Beijing, China; or Port Moresby, Papa New Guinea.   Melbourne won over the other cities by the pairwise comparison method.  Prior to the announcement of the winner, Nairobi was withdrawn as a possible location.
