Re: "I'm A Celebrity......." Anyone?

I tried watching Celeb GMOOH a few years ago, and I thought it was the biggest load of crap to ever come on TV. It probably costs a great deal of money to watch idiots making fools out of themselves. It's not even reality as they have medics standing by and ambulances. What a load of garbage that is.

A lot of these "celebrities" are has-beens or they've never been heard of by the majority. Quite honestly I find it very cringe-making.

What does it prove, exactly? What's the point? Please explain. Is this really entertaining, because I can't understand why it would be? I'm baffled and these people are actually being paid, probably thousands, to participate. It dun't make sense to me at all.

I've seen a few snatches of it in the past but it doesn't really appeal to me- each to his own !

I'm with Mollie on this one. I cannot see the appeal at all. And it seems you can qualify as a celebrity even if you are virtually unknown, or only known for sleeping with someone, it would appear...

Turned it on by accident once and once was enough - IMO it's a moronic show - but as has been said it takes all sorts and I suppose the celebrities who appear on it are getting TV exposure.

And that's entertainment?..

Same here Barry, a load of 'wanna be's' trying desperately to become some kind of so called 'celebrity' aided and abated by the mindless millions who are happy to be degraded by the media moguls who themselves are just as stupid as the contestants.

And let's not forget MONEY

Hope you don't mind that I changed 'celebrities' to 'people' as there's no such thing as a 'celebrity' these days, just badly behaved ignorant publicity seekers for whom the word 'celebrity' can not apply under any circumstances.

Actually Mollie these 'reality' TV shows are some of the cheapest to make, that's why there are so many of them (and more being planned everyday) it doesn't matter where they are shooting the scenes, airline travel and a few crew don't cost anywhere near the huge sums that a proper costume drama needs.

Agree with all your comments by the way.
