Does anyone else watch The Farm? I haven’t heard anyone talk about it. Perhaps it’s piped into our house.
Every “celebrity” show now is better than the last. Having contestants we’ve seen somewhere before is becoming less of a novelty. Celebrity Big Brother was relatively tedious as the housemates were so acutely conscious that they were on television – that this was something we hadn’t seen before. People still talk about Jack Dee’s lame attempts to escape, events which wouldn’t even make the edit of shows now. They’ve allowed themselves to misbehave.
Lionel Blair is a quite remarkable character, possibly the most objectionable man I’ve encountered through reality television. He is self-important, quick-tempered, duplicitous and vicous. A great choice. Flava Flav is brilliant too. Oblivious to the conventions that govern eviction nominations he tore into Keith Harris, showboating in front of the others. “Say no more! Flav’s got the floor!”
They buried their beef with a hug.
