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

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

Ok I'm now thinking there is no twist.

Dostadning · 09/04/2024 21:47

Really?
I still find that totally unbelievable as a vote.

OP posts:
Heliss · 09/04/2024 21:49

It feels like it's just getting all tied up as a feel good show, Josh won, they will explain and he'll laugh and be astonished. The end.

BigBroMoFo · 09/04/2024 21:49

I'm just 😮

I hope Jeanette is the one to get some real success out of all this. I'm a traitor and I'm not sorry 😆

I'm struggling to see how this can be a happy thing for Josh. Okay he would have won some people over, but none of it would have happened without the manipulation. They've all been played into thinking this. The gotcha is on all of us I guess.

Dostadning · 09/04/2024 21:50

She has a husband?

Dostadning · 09/04/2024 21:51

They've all won 10k each but none of them look particularly made up, do they?

BigBroMoFo · 09/04/2024 21:51

Ha, you've all been played like fiddles but here's £10 grand so you don't go apeshit on us.

Ta mate 😆

They really don't.

Heliss · 09/04/2024 21:52

Jeanette's amazing.

Heliss · 09/04/2024 21:53

I'm cringing that Josh is about to be told.

Jellykat · 09/04/2024 21:53

Me too!

Heliss · 09/04/2024 21:54

Omg this is awful.

Dostadning · 09/04/2024 21:55

This is flawed TV not least because the last BB winner was normal.

Dostadning · 09/04/2024 21:57

You just influenced him not getting evicted on the first night?! Grin

OP posts:
Heliss · 09/04/2024 21:57

Thank fuck he seems to have a robust personality.

Dostadning · 09/04/2024 21:58

And what if he'd called the panel a bunch of bastards?!!

OP posts:
Jellykat · 09/04/2024 21:59

Not sure hes as happy as everyone else!

Dostadning · 09/04/2024 22:00

Louie can see the show for what it is.

I still find that final vote off. Makes little sense to me.

OP posts:
BigBroMoFo · 09/04/2024 22:01

Cognitive dissonance anyone? 😜

I'm glad he seems to have taken it well. 10K obviously helps.

The whole thing feels nore 1984 than even BB does.

War is peace.

2 + 2 = 5

😜

Heliss · 09/04/2024 22:01

I'm a bit suss on that final vote as well. It definitely wouldn't have been such a feel good ending (in as much as it was) if Josh hadn't won.

Right??

Everyone's been manipulated, everyone's pretending to be happy.

BigBroMoFo · 09/04/2024 22:03

I don't believe it. I bet there was a mass retake of the voting segment after 10K was wafted under noses 😎

Only joking TV production Co. Don't come after me 🙃

Damnyourheadshoulderskneesandtoes · 09/04/2024 22:08

Well I'm glad Josh won but I don't feel good about it all. I hope he's ok and I hope they don't make another series.

Dostadning · 09/04/2024 22:10

Janette Josh
Josh Janette
Louie Josh
Sofia Josh

It will all be in the editing of course. I know that.
but
We saw Louie reference Josh being a diva again.
We saw Louie say he'd choose to live with Janette.
We saw Sofia being a girl's girl throughout.

Even knowing they weren't doing an initial vote to win so couldn't skew it by putting Sofia there, I just find it hard to believe Louie and Sofia both picked Josh over Janette.
