Why go on a programme that makes you look like an idiot? Top of the list - Coach Trip (WTF - travelling around on a shitty coach to a load of equally shitty destinations and having to slag off everyone else - why bother?)

Fame factor. Some people want to be recognised for doing fuck all.

mommmmyof2 · 23/01/2011 19:04

I don't no, but I am happy to watch them.Can be funny sometimes to watch people do silly things, on and coach trip, just a holiday for most I would assume.

Oohhh, Baroque, which one did you go on????

Deal or No Deal top, that gets on my nerves - NO skill involved whatsoever!!

Now, Come Dine With Me, that's a better class of programme Grin

see, quiz shows are a differnet thing though as you are sort of expected to use your brain, sort of.

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 23/01/2011 19:12

'twas Brain Teaser Blush

SecretNutellaFix · 23/01/2011 19:15

Brain Teaser? Don't remember that!

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 23/01/2011 19:18

daytime one it was - got hauled over the calls after the producers admitted faking it's live phone-in competition winners Grin

Was very scary in front of those camera when you knew you were live!

Nothing is as bad as the girls on Take Me Out.

They make me go Shock

Yet I can't turn away......Grin

*Disclaimer - I am single and still in my 20s (just about) and not at all jealous that these girls have the guts to behave like that on national t.v.......

SecretNutellaFix · 23/01/2011 19:23

I can't watch Take Me Out.

I'd qute happily boot most of them off a cliff.

mommmmyof2 · 23/01/2011 19:27

But do you ever think why are some of these girls well and the men on the show, alot of them are gorgeouse, so whats wrong with them?!
Or is it ten minutes of fame?

mamatomany · 23/01/2011 19:28

Friend of mine won £10k on a singing show with Alfie Moon, can't think of his real name, he wasn't such a twunt Grin

mommmmyof2 · 23/01/2011 19:36

Oh I remeber that show, shane ritchy?

looblylu · 23/01/2011 19:38

Baroque - I used to watch brain teaser every day on my school lunch break so i probably saw you.

I'd go on a game show if i got the chance...but i wouldnt tell anybody i knew since i would inevitably be rubbish and they'd never let me live it down Grin

Tiredmumno1 · 23/01/2011 19:45

I love dont forget the lyrics, shane is always good for a giggle

mamatomany · 23/01/2011 19:55

That's the one, the prize money went towards a lexus I believe ;-)

tigerbear · 24/01/2011 21:30

Take Me Out is horrendous!!

My aunt, uncle and cousins went on one years ago. They were expecting it to be fun for the kids. Was Moment of Truth in case you are wondering.

And DHs uncle was on Eggheads a few months back.

tigerbear · 25/01/2011 00:00

But whhhyyyy, Kaloki? Did they win and get some good prizes?

OP posts:
KalokiMallow · 25/01/2011 00:03

:( No, the prizes would have been excellent if they had. Each member of the family got to pick something, my eldest cousin wanted a pony.

Was a little mean really, they let all the kids go see their prizes in the studio, then put all the pressure on my uncle to win a prize (he had to throw basketballs through a hoop).

MardyBra · 25/01/2011 00:04

I want to go on £1m drop!

PlanetLizard · 25/01/2011 01:27

YABU. Most of us would not dare make a fool of ourselves on TV, would we?

MardyBra · 25/01/2011 01:28

I'd do it for a big prize. Not interested in a blankety blank cheque book and pen.

frazzle26 · 25/01/2011 10:16

I love deal or no deal!!

maighdlin · 25/01/2011 11:08

the worst are the people on the million pound drop. my god some of them are thick. i will admit some of the questions are tricky but some of them just need basic logic to work out.
