Programmes like Pop Idol, and now I AM A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE.
The latter is supposed to be about raising money for charity, at the expense of a group of "D" list celebs living in a jungle environment.
In "reality", the programme is just an excuse for them to relaunch their dwindling showbiz careers.
Here in the UK, the British public have been glued to their TV screens watching the latest series.
In one, a 41-year-old "H" list TV celeb called Linda Barker who used to present a DIY show, was so "popular" on Get Me Out of Here that's she's now expected to rake in over 2 Million dollars in advertising, book, TV, radio and modelling deals.
So it's least to do with charity, more a blatant attempt to make mega bucks. Who needs Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Sign me in,for I'm ready for these extremely lame-o shows to be fully jettisoned off the air at any given minute(since they suck so bad,and make instant celebrities out of boring, wisely undeserving boring people).

I don't watch any "reality" tv as it is. If I want to waste time, I'll do something considerably more exciting, oh, like counting the hairs on my forearm.

The brazilian BIG BROTHER has some girls you can pop your load to.
