Dumped is a British reality television programme which started on 2 September 2007 and aired nightly until 5 September 2007 on Channel 4. It involved 11 contestants living for three weeks on a rubbish dump next to a landfill site near Croydon, Surrey. The contestants who "survived" the 21 days and used only what they found on the dump were awarded £20,000 to share equally between them. The working title of the programme was Eco-Challenge. One contestant, Darren Lumsden, voluntarily left the programme on Day 3. The series was promoted with a large publicity campaign, which included advertisements on websites and a concert by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The programme achieved a peak of 2.4 million viewers, although this was marginally less than the number of people watching other channels at the same time. The programme was criticised because it was filmed on an artificial landfill and for its choice of "fame hungry" contestants.
Dumped, which was filmed in June 2006, was initially scheduled for Channel 4's Spring 2007 line-up. However, this did not occur and the programme was then postponed until the start the channel's period of "creative renewal", which was established due to the racism controversy that occurred during the fifth series of Celebrity Big Brother in January 2007.
Let's go!
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
You always thought that you could be
Oh, with just about anyone
You know the right way to get around in my head
Woah
I never had the chance
There was no letting up
It was over before I put the key in the door
Woah
I stayed all night til you asked me to go
I remake it every time that I am alone
And it's only now that I'm finding out
You were, you were the only one to break my heart
You were the only one to break my heart
If I could just go back to the start
I'd tell myself I don't need anyone
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
You always knew that you could have me
Or just about anyone
And now I'm stuck here with a mouth full of regret
Woah
We talked all night til the sun showed up
I confessed my love but that wasn't enough
And it's only now that I'm finding out
You were, you were the only one to break my heart
You were the only one to break my heart
If I could just go back to the start
I'd tell myself I don't need anyone
You were, you were the only one to break my heart
You were the only one to break my heart
If I could just go back to the start
I'd tell myself I don't need anyone
You wait around for the perfect time
Changing your plans, changing your mind
When you got up and left me,
Did you think that you'd forget me?
Yeah did you think that you'd forget me?
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
You were, you were the only one to break my heart
You were the only one to break my heart
If I could just go back to the start
I'd tell myself I don't need anyone
You were, you were the only one to break my heart
I don't need anyone
You were, you were the only one to break my heart
I still remember how we talked all night til the sun showed up
I confessed my love but that wasn't enough
