Anyway, I totally agree and when you find the culprit, I'll help with the stringing up! My theory has been proved this week. The contestant named Keisha has been voted in the bottom two for the last two weeks but this week she was voted up the list by the public, and why? Because she was given to sing, 'My Heart Will Go On' from 'Titanic' which is a hugely popular song and was number one for squillions of weeks in virtually every country in the world.<BR/>Case proved m,'lud.music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-76095132820995815572008-04-22T21:15:00.000+01:002008-04-22T21:15:00.000+01:00I stumbled on this fascinating fact recently - Sir...I stumbled on this fascinating fact recently - Sir Joseph Bazalgette created London's sewage system, but his great grandson, Peter Bazalgette, helped pump cr*p back into everyone's homes by being the man that brought us "reality" tv show Big Brother. I bet his ancestor is proud, eh?Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905794193248540231.post-88581113401568706602008-04-22T17:10:00.000+01:002008-04-22T17:10:00.000+01:00Personally, I'd like to find the person who origin...Personally, I'd like to find the person who originally came up with the "reality" show format and string them up. You may or may not know, but I started my career back in 1977(yes) as TV News Director. I was ruined by Network TV "standards" of news. It was not about news, but ratings. When I wanted a "good" story inserted, but the producers felt it would be "unpopular" then they'd cut the story, even though it was NEWS!<BR/><BR/>So reality shows are the lowest form of TV shows. Networks program the "least objectionable programming" (LOP), meaning, what's the lowest form of trash we can put on and folks will still tune in as NOTHING else is on. What? I was trained in that theory and couldn't stand it. It meant we, as TV producers, would never try to challenge ourselves, but merely put out what's least objectionable. Crap, that's not how creativity works! So, in 1979, I bid TV Land fairwell and ended up here!<BR/><BR/>So, "reality" shows are anything but real. They are just so CHEAP to produce and SO MANY watch, they continue to pop up. Do me a favor, watch PBS or anything but these damn things so they'll go away. Thank you! :)TR1-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275673520511867280noreply@blogger.com
