I've seen the trailer for Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls about give everyone times now, and I honestly don't recognise a soul. I know these programmes never exactly attracted A-listers, but at least you used to know who they used to be. One of the 'celebs' in Big Brother recently was Arianna Grande's brother. Seriously? Is that all it takes now? I'm not even sure Arianna Grande is a celebrity, never mind her siblings!
TV seems to have become a never-ending, self-consuming cycle. Famous people with any actual talent are too expensive, so the airwaves are filled with Essex/Chelsea/Jersey/Geordie clone shows full of thick, self-obsessed orange tarts (of both genders). These people then apparently become celebrities, handily filling up the other cheaply made 'Celebrity Clapham Clinic' type shows. Where are the people who can actually DO something?!

AIBU?
To think the concept of 'celebrity' is meaningless now?
