No one I recognise so far - with the exception of the Giggs girl, who you could not call a 'celebrity' either?

Couldn't we have a national definition of celebrity? That way it could be tightly drawn and we could actually have people we've heard of on this type of programme; alternatively the definition could be liberally drawn and then eveyone who be under no illusion thaat the people are in fact non-entities.

Recognising Natasha Giggs but not Michael Madsen? You should be ashamed.

Didn't recognise either of them. Just turned over as Giggs was going in, so I heard the introduction!

What I want to know is, if people had jobs, how would they combine that with watching 20 hours a day of Big Brother, soaps, Friends repeats, MTV etc channels, Dancing on Ice / X Factor / Idol, playing Mafia Wars/Fishing / Cafe World / etc on Facebook, Twitter, and endless games texts and messages on their iphones? Is there time for anything any more?

I reckon that dumbing down has now reached the stage where most people spend most of their lives in an utterly banal waste of time, for practically no purpose at all, on pointless diversions to the point of obsession.
Unlike us on these boards of course, which are a plainly wonderful and productive use of one's time

Unlike you who has a post count on here of 18,200 in 9 years?
someone else needs to get a life?

He would have a couple of thousand in the big crash at least

For years we couldn't receive Channel 5.
Even since we (finally) went digital, I still regard Channel 5 as the place where there is stuff I never want to see, so when Big Brother went there, it ceased to exist as far as I was concerned.
Not that I ever watched it for long when it was on Channel 4 (?) ... it was like finding yourself in a particular pub or house that you immediately knew to avoid in the future, so avoid it I did.

So, I'm out.

Oh dear. You missed the bit of my post where I said:
"Unlike us on these boards of course, which are a plainly wonderful and productive use of one's time", then, did you?
