The Apprentice: Well, since you ask…

finalists

Donald Trump is creating a distraction.

He’s facing calls to abandon his bid to become US president from his own party after suggesting Muslims should be banned from entering the US. He recently alienated a huge proportion of voters by claiming Mexico is “sending rapists” to  America.

And, of course, there’s the hair.

BBC3’s The Fear: Lifting the wig on the horror genre

9502952-low_res-the-fear

If one thing can be gleaned from watching BBC3’s recent supernatural talent show, ‘The Fear’, it’s that the intelligence required to make a truly decent horror film cannot be underestimated.

TOWIE Oct 21: Plane wailing.

“Love is in the air, la la la la la, love is in the air.”

Luckily for my neighbours my singing voice is more in tune than Dan, Diags and Lockie’s out-of-time rendition. It was bad, oh reality TV God’s it was bloody awful! Thankfully Dan and Lockie look good enough in uniform – sorry Diags – to forgive their pitiful X Factor audition Continue reading “TOWIE Oct 21: Plane wailing.”

Geordie Shore Oct 20: Acropolis Now

One doesn’t accidentally watch the new series of Geordie Shore.

It’s been on long enough, the exploits of the sexually incontinent (or in Charlotte Crosby’s case, literally incontinent) protagonists featured in the Daily Mail’s Sidebar of Shame frequently enough, for a plea of ignorance to be contemptuously dismissed.

You wanted this. You enjoy watching unconvincingly coiffed, fake tan smeared imbeciles binge drinking and arguing with their designated shag until someone smashes a decorative lampshade and gets bundled into a Beamer to cool off.

So do we. That’s why we’re all here.

Made in Chelsea: J-Pinky, Jucy and Jessmie.

And they’re back, the rich kids with perfectly coiffed hair returned to our screens and judging by the weather; the sun stayed in Los Angeles.

One thing that hasn’t stayed in LA is the situation I have named J-Pinky (JP and Binky). Now I love Binky. She’s pretty, humble and real; but she has bloody awful taste in men. They may look good, but everytime she unwraps the present there is a lump of cheating coal there! Alex, Jamie, JP! Come on Binks, you are better than that. Channel some of Lucy’s confidence and Louise’s naughtiness and you would be fighting the boys off. But on a serious note, you deserve someone who feels privileged to be with you. I have a 13-yo cousin with more emotional maturity than JP!

On the positive side we have Lucy and James, who are going to have beautifully athletic brunette children one day. You can see the change in Miss Watson since she hooked up with the delectable Mr. Dunmore. She seems much more relaxed and a lot less angry. Plus, Jucy is definitely working for her judging by their pictures on Instagram.

Am I the only one bored of Spencer? I feel like he should do a Mark Wright and bow out gracefully. He actually brings diddley squat to the show, plus that hair and beard makes him look like a bear. And not the cute kind.

Jamie!
Jamie, Jamie, Jamie! What are you doing? Jess is just Phoebe with less eyeliner and the dress sense of a sixth-former! It’s clear he hasn’t learnt his lesson with getting attached to girls who clearly don’t see him as anything other than a stopgap.

You’ve got to feel sorry for Sam though. Got her initials tattooed on your arm, faced the father, and plucking up the courage to say the L-word. Then Tiff confesses to cheating on you! Give her another chance mate, lets be honest you’re are punching 😒

But disappointingly, nothing has changed since the last series and I kinda feel we need some fresh meat to spice things up.

If you think I’m wrong, here are some things that are the same from last series:

• Alex wearing something high-fashion and jeans that are far too tight

• Spencer moaning about Lauren’s clingy behaviour

• Sam Watson bring inappropriate and socially awkward

• Binky feeling hurt because of a guy

• Rosie doing, well, nothing. Except giving great ‘resting bitch face’.

• Mark and Victoria shopping.

They need to take a lesson from TOWIE and bring some new faces to the table.

While I’m glad to see Ollie back, we need some new drama and someone to come in and shake things up.

We need another: “Why is everyone up in my grill” moment.

Come on E4, get your game together. Monday nights are relying on you. 👆
