More trash TV.

It really peeves me that the producers on these reality shows always try to satifsy the PC brigade. Yet again we have a lesbian in the show (Martina Navratilova) and a homosexual (Star Trek man who just got married to his boyfriend). Can't we have a reality show with normal people in it?

Esther has had her day - in the past she did do good television - most families watched but maybe it was a family get together and now families have such a wide selection of interest, usually music and comedy. We oldies no longer have Morecome and Wise!!!!

Cant we just ban reality shows.
Full stop.
I know people do watch them, but please tell me why.

"it is unclear how 68-year-old Esther will be arriving" ... Er Daily Eco your own story gave us the answer in the first paragraph.

HAMPSHIRE celebrity Esther Rantzen, pictured, is about to be catapulted into the heart of the Australian jungle ... ... my fans across the pond tell me that this would be an A1 appropriate means for her to arrive.

the only time when she was any good goard was when her show was called brandon week,when she doing her back stabbing job and force brandon out,the number of people watching the show dropped,if you remember the group 5 penny piece,she endded up getting rid off and the old team in the end because she did not what any one more popular than her

Simple. It's cheap TV - especially the likes of Big Brother etc where nobodies and wannabes provide low cost 'talent' thus dispensing with highly paid performers.


The technological leaps in phone-ins provides lucrative income due to the thick masses who spend money on calling the programme just to 'vote' for any onscreen numpty.

Chances are that the phone vote might be rigged anyway as proven on several high profile shows in the past.


Jungle only attracts D celebs on the way up or down and Esther Rancid is just another washed up yawn-provoking 'star' who is well past her sell-by date. She was OK in her prime but is still at it, probably thanks to a pushy manager, agent who needs the commission.


Not forgetting her massive ego and her rather nasty profile from the glory days when she hated being upstaged by those with real talent.


ER is just another autocue reader with no apparent 'talent' like so many of today's TV 'personalities'

The dumbed down viewing public get the television they deserve - candy floss rubbish for airheads.


Gotta dash - need to set the video for Strictly Come Dancing...

Video?
Does the Kings Palace not have a DVD recorder, or is Royalty also suffering the credit crunch?

"Video?

Us Royals are quite frugal and old-fashioned in many ways.

Anyway - what's wrong with a Betamax VCR??

Nothing at all.
And I suppose you listen to music on an old reel to reel.

along with the push button radio and the plastic wind deflector for the drivers door window.
Yep, bring back the 70s

Hey Ester!
You read whats on the menu in your sunshine summer holiday camp?

Peek at the Sun on line to select your menu for the stay.

Try Crocodiles testicles. Yup! The shows advisors have been told to "make the trials as hard as possible".

I dont want to scare you but in addition the "... medic standing by
Bob, got the stars to admit their worst fears."

Its not very similar to the Ambassador Lounge at the Dorchester neither is it like Subway its far far worse than McDonalds and that is very very grim.

Bon appetite - Missing you already!

Actually Des Moines ... I don't think Esther Rantzid will have access to the Echo web site where she is, so it's pointless trying to send her a message on here.

I thought the ex-top cop Paddick was also gay.

I will not be watching as I have better things to do with my life than watch reality TV.

The third-rate celebs are on the prog to raise their public profile and for ITV it is a cheap way to fill the schedules.
