Let me just make these points and run: -

1. - I love reality tv shows. Biggest Loser, America's Next Top Model, Britain's Next Top Model (damn - every country has a Top Model it seems these days) Big Brother etc etc etc. Mind you, I never watch the crap as it bores the living ****e out of me The reason that I love em is that the misses loves em and that my friends, means I get to do computer stuff whilst all that reality tv crap is on the tv. I pettition for more reality tv shows to give me more computer playing time

2. - I personally think the Top Model shows are actually quite dangerous and warp the ideals and self worth of vulnerable young girls. It seems on every show they have a couple of token "+ size models" where they are then told by most of the peeps in the industry that they are too large for "high fashion". Seems a load of balls to me, especially seeing as the girl that fronts the US ain't exactly a size 10 (uk clothing sizes of course).

3. - tv is ****e GBL and always has been. We all remember the great shows of old (Faulty Towers, Only Fools and Horses etc etc) but seem to forget that those great shows were surrounded by ****e shows - like 2 weeks of Wimbledon, damn I hate that. Tennis I find boring and back in the days before Sky, the BBC used to take Star Trek off for two whole weeks whilst some dicks grunted and hit a ball over a net. I have always resented that

Thats it, I'm pretty neutral on the subject apart from that

 

I met her once and got her autograph she is even better looking in real life

 

I don't watch much on commercial television, I can't remember a single programme I've watched on ITV for a while, its the lowest denomination television possible. Channel 4 sometimes has some interesting stuff on but you really have to catch a trailer, although the comedy that comes out on there is usually way ahead of the utter crap sit-com rubbish you get on the other channels.

What gets me down is when the BBC attempts to keep up with the commercial channels by basically copying the format of drivel of shows like X-Factor to win a phoney ratings war. Its licence payers money that could be better spent.

I only look forward to waking the dead on the BBC, although I love the radio so my licence fee gets used.

Borat vs Pamela Anderson - Ding round 2

 

I really don't watch TV much anymore. There's so much else to do!

 

Cool, where did you meet her?

 

I was down in London and my nephew had won a competition to go to the premier of garfield or garfield 2, but he had to be accompanied by an appropriate adult so I went . He got his picture with her and the bloke, I got her autograph.

 

That doesn't happen every day! Nice one

 

I still think she looks better with long hair like in I know what you did last summer.

 

Jeezo... Family Guy, South Park... I've stumbled onto the right place here!

Just been at Uni for three years, so I've perfected the art of spending all day watching TV. Any Heroes fans? Prison Break? And considering where we are... any fans of the Big Bang Theory?

 

I actually watched the repeat of missing model last night, and I must say I have changed my mind.

The idea is whoever wins is a spokesperson for disabled people and hopefully they can make a gatewaty for disabled people to be in the model industry.

At the end of the show there was the usual get rid of one of them, so one of the models had to leave. It came down to a girl who had a prostetic leg and one who was deaf.

The judges were arguing that the deaf girl couldn't be a spokes person because she could only communicate by sign language and wouldn't be able to hear what people asked her.

And the other girl didn't have a very good picture from the photo shoot. They decided on keeping the deaf girl but after the other girl had left all of the judges apart from one said we've made a mistake but they couldn't go back on the decision.

I would have to agree with them, the girl with the prostetic leg would make a better model but it also shows how segregated deaf people are in society as they have difficulty communicated with people who can't do sign language.

So I have changed my mind this show may turn out to do something good for reality TV instead of the rest of the ****e like x factor and big bother.

 

I also don't watch too much TV, however there are shows that I like. I watched Big Brother(the us version) and found it to be pretty interesting, but then again I only watched one season instead of 8 or 9 of them, same thing goes for american idol, etc. I don't watch these shows every season because I find they get boring quickly. Aside from that I'll watch a movie on the weekend and 2-3 shows throughout the week and thats it.

 

Pffft. That's what lip reading is for. And there are plenty of ways she could communicate her thoughts to others.
