Celebrity love island gets second series
 
I am not sure this qualifies as "Entertainment", but we don't seem to have a forum for "turgid cr*p", so here goes..


Celebrity Love Island has been so "successful", ITV have recommissioned it..

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds21938.html

Now, reading through that article, it seems that it topped 4 million viewers for the first time last week. For Channel 4, this is a good viewing figure. For a channel the size of ITV, this is pathetic.

I personally thing ITV have lost the plot, and need to find it PDQ if they are to survive.

But there's already a whole thread dedicated to it (turgid cr*p that is).

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=28605

Perhaps the two should be merged and the title changed?

;)

2 things here..

1) there were no celebs on the first one so who on earth will be on the next one.. the bloke who cleans David Beckham's car and someone who once walked past Britney

2) if they are going to show cr*p then is really annoys me that we have to vote on this pile of rubbish and therefore pay for the program buy phoning into premium rate numbers or texting

I agree - it was total, total rubbish! The only mildly amusing scenes were those involing Paul Whatshisname - the ex - Hollyoaks bloke - and his antics with Fran (fighting and having to be removed from the island) then falling over himself to get off with the American bird. It's really not entertainment, but I suppose it has sunk to new depths in 'reality TV' :td:
And just how do they define 'celebrity' now anyway? :shrug:

I don't understand why people go ON AND ON about reality TV when they don't like it. They even go out of their way to go into a thread about it and express their dislike. I didn't like celeb love island so I just don't watch it and get on with life. Why the hell people insist on continuously complaining when they can switch over baffles me! It's not like you're fastened to your television, unable to close your eyes and unable to change the channel! Some people like this thing, just get over it and change the channel if you don't.

(No offence - that sounded a bit harsh)

Re: Celebrity love island gets second series
 
in my case it's because i dislike it so much and want to go back to some proper programming either entertainment or documentary that i'd rather watch instead.. i never watch reality TV and am proud of that fact.. i just wish it was never on in the first place

as my mate always says when John Logi-Beard ( or however you spell it) invented the TV CLI was what he had in mind :D

Nor me.

Cheap no brainer telly that if the BBC had done it they would have be told "never again" according to their new guidelines.

Re: Celebrity love island gets second series
 
another point about this show is it was all built on titillation but it was stated in the contracts that they wouldn't show any nudity or topless shots or anything so what was the point.

have to agree with sosages i watch very little TV now as it's all reality TV rubbish.. could be worse just go onto digital spy and see how many threads there are about reality TV.. esp when you got things like LIVE8 and stuff going on in the world makes you wonder if us Westerners have the right balance here
