Re: It's back

I must be getting old myself, as just like Strictly, hardly any of the "celebrity" names are familiar to me - but then again, I don't usually watch MTV and BBC Three-style Reality TV so and so I would be a bit ignorant as to who most of them are.

Re: It's back

It made me laugh when Helen Flanagan (Rosie Webster from that Corrie place) said a few years ago that she wanted to leave the series to "move on and do other things". Someone said that I bet that she will be taking part in a jungle somewhere, and they were right - she ended up on there as well.

Re: It's back

I quite like some parts of these ‘reality’ series ... mainly how all the different characters/personalities react / interact with each other .. quite often completely opposite types form great friendships ..

I really don’t like watching Caitlin Jenner on screen though so I’ll fast forward whenever ‘they’re’ on screen .

If I want to see species behaving in an eccentric way, I would go down to Twycross Zoo, but that's enough of the zookeepers there.

Re: It's back

I can accept someone watches now and then (I watched some U.S. thing for a bit with Eric Estrada from the old CHiPs police show living with televangelist Tammy Faye Baker and porn actor Ron Jeremy), but a lot of people must watch these 'reality' and celebrity (houses, dna test results, cooking to a deadline, I lump it all together) programs all the time because there are still so many of them on!

"Species behaving in an eccentric way"... a nice description, except between tv and the internet it feels like every eccentric has a show or video and followers! There's even a 'star' of that sort in the U.S. White House now. Not for me, I saw the ads and heard the money-money-money-mooooney theme music, but never watched the Apprentice once... I guess it fooled some into thinking it was real, no other explanation. Then again, I've seen maybe two entire episodes of The Simpsons, I'm very much outside any mainstream.

The world would be a rather boring place if we didn't have eccentric species.

Thats very true, i like to see a bit of eccentricity as long as it's not all about "look at me"...the only eccentric from the jungle that comes to mind was Lady T who was off the scale.

Thank goodness - I was getting worried as we are now within General Election territory.
