As a conscientious non watcher, who has unfortunately been unable to duck it due to its media exposure, it strikes me that it could easily be called 'thick bitches in a box'. Essentially it says much about the degeneration of society that people like the Goody's can become millionaires on the back of this.
Hasn't Jade Goody been involved in some anti bullying charity? just proves what facile window dressing these kind of gestures are, if she is. I still struggle to see what the attraction is in watching a bunch of fragile wanna be's might have beens, and never weres is ? I'm aware the genere is called 'reality' but from a distance it looks like poison to me. IF sparks a collective national soul searching about what we've become/ are becoming it might yet serve a purpose. More worrying, according the BBC, who run it as their headline on their site, it would appear that Shilpa is up for eviction, now what does that tell us?
I half wonder whether this kind of gruesome entertainment is a reaction to the over expsoure of sport in the media? as if this genre of programmes have been designed to appeal to a certain part of society by way of knee jerk?. In many respects its almost medieval in context. You pay a slightly freaky and monsterous individual like Jade Goody to entertain you, because they're oblivious to their comedy and ridicliousness, whilst you sit back with a sense of (often misplaced) superiority and laugh at them. They might as well give her a red and yellow hat with bells on it.
I caught some radio snippet with some Liverpudlian contestant? putting up some pathetic sense of self justification tinghed with a sense of self righteous shock. It was the kind of thing I'd associate with the self regarding over statement that a footballer uses when describing an incident. Stupid and inappropriate, and far from sincere imo
Sod Channel 4, I'd happily see them hand over the production to the Israeli airforce.
