And they say Americans have no sense of irony… As the first reject from last night’s first episode of the US Apprentice (Wednesdays BBC2, 11.20pm) walked to his taxi, what should be advertised on the top of said taxi but a Yahoo job-finders service… Classic.
This is the first American version of the series I’ve managed [...]

Monday 28th August. Bank Holiday Monday. One whole free day off… So what do I do? Spend the day chilling? Go for a long walk in the countryside with my beloved? Crack out the Star Wars trilogy for a good dose of Lucas action? No, I choose to spend it watching the entire The Office [...]

In today’s heady world of terrorist bombings, wars, and hurricanes, it’s nice to know that one thing remains constant. Certain. Never changing. That, my friends, is the X Factor. Watching the X Factor is becoming a bit like ground hog day for me. Yes, I know I’ve already mentioned this is a former blog, but [...]

Close your eyes… Okay, open them so you can keep reading, but imagine you’re in a plane flying over the Italian Alps. All is fine, until suddenly the plane starts shaking, tossing you about in your seat. The oxygen masks fall down, the plane starts to nose-dive, with that terrifying nose-diving plane sound. Even the [...]

So… it’s all over and I can go back to blogging about proper TV, like Eastenders, The Apprentice and documentaries about women who give birth to their twins…
Really glad Pete won, but his jumping around the place, falling down/up stairs got a bit predictable (especially on last night’s Big Brother’s Little Brother’s Big BBQ [...]

I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but my sympathies lie with Kate Lawler. She of the god-awful hair extensions and terrible skin (buy some moisturiser and cover–up, girl) is having to endure a few days with Love Island’s answer to Sid James. “Wow, it’s so big,” says Kate of the boat they’ll be [...]

So Chris has moved on to his third (third? Or forth? You lose count with these things…) fine filly in Not-Celebrity Love Island. His latest conquest is the oh-so-cute-and-cuddly Coleen, she of Playboy fame (how did it take you so long to get round to her, Chris?!) Of course, Sophie is fine with it (even [...]

So we’re on the final lap and our housemates are starting to worry about how they’ve ‘been portrayed’ to the outside world. By this, of course, they mean that they’re worried about all the bitching, farting and masturbating they’ve been doing on camera, and what the public will think.
For some housemates, this has been a [...]

Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights, Casablanca… The greatest love stories of all time? Not according to Aisleyne, who prefers a more simple tale of ‘Whiney girl goes away, boy misses girl. Girl comes back,’ as her sob-inducing masterpiece.
Although it was lovely to see Pete smile again last Friday night as Nikki dashed into his (and [...]

Fat Beauty Contest (Channel 4, Thursday 10 August, 9pm) featured Charlotte Coyle, a Plus-Size model who tried to challenge the notion that only skinny women can be attractive. Except she did this by auditioning a group of larger ladies and then sticking them in corsets for her beauty padgeant… Surely that defeats the whole purpose [...]
