The "Back to Reality" thread. Number one. In a series of one only.

Just an observation:

Nasty Nick seems to be obsessing about how he could be being portrayed in the media.

Just think, when they come out, and see the clippings file would run to the TV listings page and that's about it.

I tried this.
This is the thread where we talk about BACK TO REALITY

No-one cares. Not even me (though I am now watching it).

B b b but you have to watch it, they've all gone mental! It's genius and Nasty Nick, Maureen and rik are all completely psycotic. I am drunk so am finding it all highly entertaining!

I like the 'selective' nature of it's appeal.

I watch if there's nowt else on.

There's nowt else on!

Why does nobody like this particular Reality tv show? They watch IACGMOOH, The Salon, Joe Millionaire et al but this is not to the viewers taste? It baffles me completely - this show is hysterical!!!!
Lady Ricardo's tantrum = comedy gold!

It's on five.

(Word of mouth will probably help it recover...)

Compare:

IAC) If you eat this wichety grub, you and your mates get a meal / Garlic bread
Celeb) Yum yum yum.

BTR) If you eat this wichety grub, £1000 to charity
Celeb) Umm, no thank you

Word of mouth! Nobody is even talking about it, are they? I had to listen to everyone going on a on about flaming I'm a Sleb, now I finally decide to watch a Reality TV show and it seems I'm the only one!
Rik is so fake I cannot stand to watch him - I wanna be able to vote folk off!

i am very anti i'm a sleb, but pro big brother. i think the problem with back to reality (and i'm a sleb to an extent) is we know what all the people are going to do. Jade's going to be loud and thick, Rik's going to be fat and annoying, Uri's going to be a twat etcetcetc. the good thing about the start of BB is "whoa, what are we going to get this year".

also i'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the best reality star we've had:

i like blinkin' me
where's paauuul clark?

etcetc (NB do not search the helen threads as i think my response at the time was "my god what have we become, this person being on tv is the death of civilisation as we know it" i was wrong)

Word of mouth - well, after ricardo's wobbler, and lizzie gone, who knows...

Although, now it will prob get less interesting now psychonick's gone.

Did anyone hear the communal singsong last night? Jade's singing was better than expected. But then they started not making up their own songs and the sound was blanked for copyright reasons. cue 20mins of raucous singing and waving of hands and grinning with no sound. (Fasc. Went to bed. Guessing 20mins...)

I dunno why but I find it compelling viewing - I think it's coz I wanna see if they still behave as they were portrayed on their particular Reality programme.

Catalina "I mean I'm the 25th sexiest woman in the world baby" I wanna stomp on her head!

And Jade, I hated her with a passion on BigB but she's not the worst in there by far!

When Lizzie is the voice of reason and compassion, heck the world is not in the house there, surely...

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 10:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Rik is so fake I cannot stand to watch him - I wanna be able to vote folk off!

Just cause he plays an acoustic guitar, doesn't make him folk!

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 24 February 2004 10:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Lizzie the voice of reason and compassion? Hell no!
Rik's little whispered comments in her ear when she was upset were beyond cringeworthy 'you can do it' 'you are worth it' just dropped into the conversation for no apparent reason - yuk!

Folk, tee hee...
