Once upon a time we had a thread for the tawdry reality series that sees Z listers eat marsupial genitals in the hopes of getting a Butlins contract, there was even close attention paid to the betting and Yev made a tidy profit I think?
Of course they will net record ratings this time round as Matt Hancock is in, so we may aswell put all the lols at his suffering in one place.
You’re on a roll with the more freds. KUPTGW
I thought the thread title was some place in rural Scotland.
What channel and time is this on?
I'm a twit
I did indeed, thanks to living rent free in the heads of the British public and Ashley Roberts. It's a pretty easy show to predict so I should have done it more often, but other events always get in the way seemingly and this year will be no different.Originally Posted by Lofty
Still, I'll watch Matt Hancock try to redeem himself and fail miserably, which should be accomplished by this time next week.
You what?
I don't know how this works, do the public vote people off Big Brother style as well as vote for them to do the trials? If so, will they be sophisticated enough to keep Hancock in and thereby make him keep doing more nasty things?
Of all the reality shite, this is the absolute bottom of the barrel for the dregs.
He’ll be voted for everything, yes. He will no doubt be excused on ‘medical grounds’ for a fair amount. Can’t get voted off until half way through but presume he’ll go first. They choose who does the trials themselves when you start to vote folk off.
I put like £20 on her as a rank outsider as it was fairly obviously early on that she wasn't a pampered prima-donna and she looked like she'd give the tasks the full gun (the British peeps love that and she did), she then went favourite towards the end and found herself up against Charlie Brooks in the final. I cashed out for £400 profit or so before the final started on the basis of the fairweather watchers voting for the one they know when they tune in solely for the final (they did and she finished 2nd).
I haven't watched for a while, but the way it used to work was: No one gets evicted for a week or so and in that time the public vote for who does the trials (Hancock unsurprisingly will be doing all of them I should imagine) and once they start evicting people the public votes for who goes instead and the camp mates decide who does the trials. So basically he's going to get a week of laying with rats and eating absolute shite before getting kicked out.
£400k he's being paid I heard and for that sort of money you'd surely make absolutely certain there are no medical exemptions whatsoever.
No, I meant the "living rent free in the heads of the British public and Ashley Roberts" bit. I don't think you're using that phrase right.
I'm not, you are most definitely right, but I figured it'd do and seeing as your post was to point out I'd used it incorrectly rather than for me to explain what I meant, it looks like it did the job.
So who you backing this time?

In other news, is Will Ferrell going through a divorce or has he received an unexpected tax bill? I did not expect to see him in Asda's Christmas advert offering.
I won't be able to watch enough of it to bother and a quick look at the line up suggests I'd need to to have any chance of a successful bet. Who the fuck are these people?
I'm guessing the Essex woman will do well because professional reality TV people know how all of this works properly. Haven't seen Chris Moyles for ages, has he been ill?
I actually think it might mark a new low for British culture (which is already plumbing the depths) as various bimbos, Essex wasters and whoever else is on it berate Matt Hancock in their regional accents for having killed thousands, as scummo political journalists do cringeworthy tweets and lame sketches in time with the music.
From there the only way is up.
I don't think they actually need Ferrell's permission for that advert as looking closely it appears all of it has been lifted straight out of Elf so presumably they just struck a deal with the rights owner.
The CGI in it is horrendous. Did Yev think they paid him to act all the bits again?
Why don't you ask Yev and he'll tell you?
Remember when they gave Chris Moyles a programme on Channel 5 to make him the new Chris Evans but, between New Labour and the War on Terror, the world didn't want a new Chris Evans (and certainly not a fat one)? It must have been a slow slide ever since because he was a genuinely big name at the time.
On a related note, I was talking to the twenty-somethings at work the other day, and they weren't having it that Robbie Williams was just about the most famous man in the country twenty years ago, and the only song they had vaguely heard of was Angels. Why is that? Everybody knows Oasis (say) despite having done nothing of note for almost as long, so why has he been un-remembered?
His music isn't as good as that of Oasis?
Regardless, he was massively popular. People remember all sorts of shit and one hit wonders from the eighties, but his catalogue seems to have been buried in period.
On the contrary, the 21 year old from work went to watch Robbie Williams live the other week.

Thanks Elmo.
I've never seen Elf. I was too old to watch it first time round and seeing Will Ferrell since (one of the least funny people in all of Hollywood history) has hardly made me want to go back to it.
Chris Moyles looks like Paul Gascoinge these days.
He looks absolutely awful these days so you might be right about a break up or whatever.
Will Ferrell looks haggard as fuck these days too.
Somehow didnt see Waff's post
Could pass for 80.
He's 55? Fuck me.
He didn't help himself by calling one of his hits 'Millennium' which means I've filed it in my mind with Cherie Blair at New Year, that Cliff Richard monstrosity, the Hinduja brothers, etc.
Also was a far better live act than anything else, which doesn't travel down the pages of history.
You should be forced to eat marsupial genitals for that thread title.

Robbie was a don and anyone watching this shit is not.
What the fuck is this thread about?
Took me 10 or so posts to get it.
I'm a celebrity, get me out of here. 2023.
Some nonsense UK show where c-list celebs live in a forest in Australia.
Robbie Williams retreated to a quiet(er) life in LA, while Oasis never spent long out of the news thanks to annual falling outs. As shit as they are, they have a stronger musical legacy too.
Who are the children of Oasis still going around? I'd argue they did more to kill mainstream guitar music than anyone, thanks to making it so bland.
I think Robbie Williams is remembered less fondly as well cus of how absolutely lame his mid 00s was. RUDEBOX immediately turned him into a bad novelty act. Rudebox was also around the same time as the incredibly successful initial take that reunion that didn't involve him, which prob didn't help either.
Olivia Attwood out on medical grounds.
This was just retweeted onto my feed and it had me lolling.
Genius if she is, they can't deduct her fee it'll be a legal shitstorm.
I haven't seen a video, but the pictures of Tindell copping a feel look very sus.
Did she parachute out of a plane? Seems a bit risky.
I seen a Tweet about her just replicating her husband by showing up for one game and then being injured for the rest of the season which made me lol
Hancock is in, already toe curling.
