Celebrity Big Brother
ditto, Who wants to be a millionaire
ditto, Family Fortunes
ditto, Master Chef, but Phil was good.
ditto, Chase.
ditto, Come Dine with Me.
I'm getting a tad fed up of them, minor "Celebs" hogging the schedules.

Dunno, I don't watch that stuff. The best things on telly are Dr Who (getting a bit crap lately though), some BBC 4 music stuff, Holby City, that Ice Planet thing, Planet Dinosaur, occasional science stuff and the Big Bang Theory.

Celebrity Big Brother.
How utterly awful. I've just been in a room where it was playing on a TV.

I just looked it up. I have vaguely heard of two of the contestants. "Celebrity" is stretching the limits of the word.
As a general rule "Big Brother" and "Celebrity..." reality TV shows are instances where nobody would be too distraught about a focused, zero collateral damage, terrorist attack

Once a quarter of your "celebrities" are only famous for having previously been on reality TV, you are in a situation of utterly absurd reduction and recursion.

Why are so many gay people so child-like? It's properly cringey. It's like arrested development.

I've no problem with who people sleep with (consenting adult humans, natch) but poofiness is very wearying. Of course, I don't have to have anything to do with it, but it is odd how it seems to be an essential component of any popular media thing these days. Womenfolk seem to like it.

What's queer is that ever since I can remember, there was always at least one camp/gay TV person. The earliest one I can remember was Mr Humphries, then Larry Grayson, Kenny Everett although he wasn't especially camp, then Julian Clary, Graham Norton, Alan Carr. I'm sure there are far, far more of them now.

British people finding "camp" to be "humorous" was always very weird. I never really understood why.

I was going to say it sounds Turkish. I was right. |

As Derek & Clive (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore) said all those years ago ...
Clive: I volunteered for this new game they’ve got on ... ‘Celebrity Suicide’
Derek: Oh yeah (laughs)
Clive: In which, er, well-known celebrities, er, put themselves in a noose and, er ...
Derek: Yeah
Clive: ... hang themselves. And the last person to die gets a, er, thousand quid
Derek: That’s good
Clive: But, er, they, er, say I wasn’t selected
Derek: No, well, you wouldn’t be
Clive: I said, "I-, is ...
Derek: It’s fixed
Clive: "... is it because I’m only, er, one inch high and four foot wide?", and they said, "No, it’s nothing to do with that", ‘cause you know I’m very ...
Derek: Well, you are ...
Clive: ... wide on the ground and short in the air. And, er, they said, "No, it’s nothing to do with that", they said, "er, the basic fact is we think you’re a c*nt"
So that's why I'd watch 'Celebrity Suicide' - because they're all a bunch of ...
