No, you don't do group hugs, you merely cause others to need them! Bless your little baggy scrotum.

I don't do group hugs, I don't really do hugs.......... well apart from those manly ones where you quickly embrace and do two quick pats on the hug receiver's shoulder blade area, before separating quickly and pretending it never happened.

That is called a Turbo-hug.

Is this THE END for reality TV shows? By this, I mean "Fame Academy"!

Not if the plebs and proles that are attracted to the shows keep watching it, unfortunately.

You won't be dissing the Proletariat when the revolution comes.

Is this THE END for reality TV shows? By this, I mean "Fame Academy"!

My dearest Viv, I do not recall Fame Academy doing the rounds last year, I only ever recall the academy doing two proper series and then being wheeled out just for comic relief umpteen times to present day, charity is a great shield to lay a weak format show down and give it a sweet peck on cheek during its long long tiring goodbye.

Where Cat Deeley is a capitalist moo, Academy is a backward event, useful only for charity, nothing wrong in that of course, but its ITV that is the real loser since the dawn of the 21st century. Umpteen 'live' format shows and an obsession with celebrity has proved its downfall at the mo.

Good example is Saturday nights, once upon a time we didnt need celebritys starring in everything. Gladiators MADE its musclely stars, it also broke them, every celebrity must stand on its own, as must ITV. The events of this week shall learn em.

Surely the celebs from Gladiators can stand on their own? Whats the point of all those muscles if they can't even keep you upright?

Thanx, my dearest Saviour (above)... I could scarely follow that one!
