ALL THE CELEBRITY MUCK FIT TO RAKE! NOV 24
Chas, being a long-time lover of reality TV, has decided to give y'all the scoop re: the garbage cluttering up your telly box this month.
Well, the two biggies are 'I'm a Celebrity - please shorten the title of the show cos it looks fucking ridiculous and - let's face it - none of us are celebs anyway' and of course The Apprentice.
'I'm a celeb' has a slight edge at this point because (1) the show isn't interrupted by eye-gouging product-placement every 5 minutes) and (2) because it has the sight of Robert Kilroy Silk (philophosical father of the Jeremy Kyle 'How to be a boorish douchebag' school of tv presenting) being forced to do his penance in front of the nation (or whoever's watching)
Chas isn't a fan of Catholicism normally but the concept of penance is a interesting one when married to a crate of bitey, scrathy stingy bugs or various indiginous animal's genitals (don't they have an Aussie S.P.C.A?). Kilroy knows he done wrong (see his Anti-Arab comments) - and the public ain't finshed watching him forcing down panda corneas or cockroach paella just yet.
Penitent or not he won't ever win - his shouty, aging alpha-male approach to everything is outdated and faintly hilarious (To Navratilova: "So you fancy WOMEN do you?") and you know he's just bidding his time till he can get back on tv and start spewing his racist nonsence.
The Apprentice has gone from good to very bad. Last night's episode (featuring Appleby's jewellers AGAIN) was a farce that ended abruptly on a rather unexpected note. The Apprentice seems to have somehow turned into 'Lost' with it's wild plot twists and savage editting.
Chas says: *Sigh* Wha' happined Bill? Yew used to be kewl?
