I can't watch anything with Celebrity in the title or anything about cooking so my t.v. viewing is rather sparse.

I had to laugh at Joey last night - to set the scene, a huge tropical storm has arrived at the camp and massive hailstones are hitting the ground:

Joey: "Oh look, it's snowing" :lol:

I can't believe him sometimes.

wibble and drivel of the highest order

The insurance costs alone would forbid putting even the motley collection of sub Z list "celebrities" desperate to save whatever passes for their careers that the producers manged to round up from whichever drying out clinic they raided into tanks with REALLY dangerous creatures. Which is a shame.

I actually enjoy it, just for the schadenfreude of them being so far out of their comfort zone.
I thought last night's challenge was really harsh on Matthew, though.

Being what is described as a "celebrity" these days does not appear to imbue these contestants with the common sense to understand that the puerile tasks imposed upon them that some psychiatrist has deemed to be taken straight from the scenario of "schoolyard dares" are there to make them appear to be even less intelligent than they appear to be by agreeing to participate in this unfortunate television programme.

Trivia is indeed well and thriving in the broadcasting output of some television programmes..:roll:

Is that possible with Joey Essex?

Joey "A square has 6 sides*" Essex is a star in the hit reality programme "the only way is essex" his teeth are too white and he is just a waste of space to be perfectly honest.

*from this bit of Celebrity Juice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk8kdCvinKk

DISCLAIMER: I have never watched a bit of the only way is essex and I never plan on watching it.

I never heard of him either until recently. Apparently he was on some sort of quiz show and when asked where Danish bacon came from he said Germany. :roll:

That's right. He can't tell the time on an analogue clock either. He's 23! :roll:

He couldn't be a rail enthusiast then! :lol:

Probably an act to get people talking. TV execs don't like smart, well-articulated people capable of rational debate and working together

Is Joey really as dim as made out or is it an act?

If its an act then he deserves an Oscar! ;)

I saw him on a quiz show and he came across that he is as thick as 2 short planks.

I dont watch any of these 'reality' shows and after seeing him on that show I remember why! :lol:

The other half watches 'I am a non entity, give me the cheque' so I do have to occasionally see this rubbish unfortunately. <D
