‘A beacon of hope’: Nick Grimshaw and Vicky Pattison on the reality show that’s ripping up the rulebook | Television | The Guardian

@NillyNoMates @TellingBone @Twiglets1 @theconfidenceofwho

Plus any other telly addicts MNetters/Celeb Big Brother twaddlers Brew Cake

Show starts Monday evening according to the Graudian.

I quite like Grimmy on Gogglebox, don't really know the others that well.
But it might be an interesting watch.
Alternatively, I end up not rooting for the underdog and rename the show Josh Must Die. Easter Wink

‘A beacon of hope’: Nick Grimshaw and Vicky Pattison on the reality show that’s ripping up the rulebook

The Underdog: Josh Must Win challenges a group of celebrities to secretly fix a TV series so the nerdy bloke wins – without him knowing. It’s a joyful, subversive ride, with the least likely reality star ever

Thanks @Dostadning Will give this ago.

TellingBone · 23/03/2024 20:16

I'm in 😊

Dostadning · 23/03/2024 20:34

Yay! [group hug]. Hope it's worth watching now. I loved the CBB threads twiglet set up. It was a decent distraction from the cold. If this turns out to be crap, I'll just join BigBroMoFo in rewatching Beauty and the Geek Grin

Oh thanks for this thread. Would love to join you all.

taking a seat 🪑

BigBroMoFo · 25/03/2024 20:59

Made it! Traffic was terrible 🚙🏃

BigBroMoFo · 25/03/2024 21:03

Not gonna lie... I got a bit of a cold sweat on when reading the article about the show.

Nerd thrown in with the alpha types pretty much sums up my life and it hasn't been a nice ride for the most part 😑Hope Josh is strong on the insde because it's taken me pretty much 50 years (and becoming peri-homicidal menopausal) to learn to shrug that shit off 😎

BigBroMoFo · 25/03/2024 21:07

Annoying - 10 😆

6.7m tik-tok 😮

BigBroMoFo · 25/03/2024 21:09

Gosh, I thought Gabby was my niece until she started talking and is from the wrong side of the north.

Then I remembered that most of these young ladies put everything into all having that same 'look'.

How do they know Josh is a nice guy & not someone really horrible?

Plus this seems really cruel if Josh isn't in on it!! Also is it only £10k between them if Josh does win?

theconfidenceofwho · 25/03/2024 21:35

This feels a bit wrong & too much of the celebrities for me so far. I'd like more Big Brother style!

£10,000 each for everybody if Josh wins. £10,000 only for the winner if anyone else wins.

Think I've understood that correctly?

SittingontheSidelines · 25/03/2024 21:38

If Josh wins it's up to 100k between them.
I hope this isn't going to be upsetting. Im only just getting over Bradley in the garden

theconfidenceofwho · 25/03/2024 21:41

Thanks @BigBroMoFo , that makes more sense (I must have misheard)

I'm hoping the same.

I hope the fact that they all believe the public are watching will rein in any of the stonger personalities from ganging up on the perceived 'lesser' personality.

Bit of waffle to say hope they won't bully if they think they're being watched.

BigBroMoFo · 25/03/2024 21:44

Yes Josh! Keep on being yourself. Popular doesn't have to mean loud, in your face, fashion/beauty clone etc.

BigBroMoFo · 25/03/2024 21:57

Aww, Louis, bless him.

Don't agree about Gabby though.

I didn't trust Myles even before he said he can be a game player with some people. So he's my least fave right now.

Oh I'm bristling here. 😡
