Aw, what did they do to the poor house? :(

They left it all damaged and even more falling apart than it already was. I believe the council may have sued Endemol over it.

Endemol

Yes, every last bloody one
:)

Oh no!!

Well, I'm sure it wasn't Ainslie or Alistair's fault.

*shakes fist warningly*

But I loved Fame Academy. :)

:$ I went to see the contestants of the first series sing live when I was ten.

I always liked 'Paddington Green'.

I used to watch that as well. The main reason I did, was because I used to buy the Hip hop magazine that was Edited by the ginger lad that was featured on the show.

I like reality shows that feature real people in real, unscripted situations. Cops, The First 48 and, gulp, Dog the Bounty Hunter come to mind. But I hate all the shows that feature obviously scripted dialogue and situations, forced confrontation, wannabe actors and stupid "challenges" and "tribal" situations. Survivor would be great if the characters were real people who were actually trying to survive in the wilderness.

I'd like to see a weekly reality show about a group soldiers in basic training. My experience was a hoot.

Dog the Bounty Hunter

I love Dog the Bounty Hunter. :D I always stay in and watch it when I'm on holiday in the states. Didn't the guy get in trouble for being racist though? The shows been canceled now right? Errr

Every time I watch Dog the Bounty Hunter, he seems to be chasing after women. Does he ever go after men?

His estranged son secretly recorded him using the n-word and his show was placed on hiatus, but it's now back on the air. The whole trailer-trash aspect of the show is part of what makes it unique: rednecks from Colorado in Hawaii.

Yeah, I'd say it's 50-50.

I'm loving The Restaurant on BBC Two - can't wait for the final next week!

Most of the women look like Jonah Lomu. There's nothing womanly about them!
:O

It's the Samoan heritage. Samoans tend to be HUGE.
