Insanity Questions

I've read about lots of people doing insanity here but never looked into what it is. Now that I've googled it I have a few questions if people wouldn't mind enlightening me/giving their own opinions.

1) Do you need lots of space at home to do the moves justice? (ie is an average sized front room going to cut it?)

2) Do you need to pick a time where you are going to be at home for 60 days straight? This would be impossible for me. What happens if you miss a day or two?

3) If anybody's seen the youtube advert (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSccVzdYhmI) - are those before and afters anything like realistic for your average person doing it alone in front of a DVD player or have they picked the extreme examples?

4) It costs almost as much as a gym subscription per month. Therefore, what makes it worth the cost for you personally?

5) For anybody who's accustomed to work outs such as Body Attack and Circuit Training/Boot Camps - how much harder is Insanity than those? I don't want to pay for something I can't do.

6) I'm a small female - I don't want to end up looking like a square body builder. Is there any danger of this?

Thank you in advance. :)
