Now I\u2019m not one to talk about celebrity tv shows and certainly haven\u2019t spent a great deal of time watching them, however it would be remiss of me to make no mention of the main events of last weekend. If you are going to allow yourself to go on \u2018I\u2019m a celebrity get me out of here\u2019 you\u2019ve got to be prepared for the consequences. If you are going to be paid \u00a3350k to go on, when everyone else is only being paid \u00a370k you\u2019ve got to be prepared to give your money\u2019s worth. If the public thinks it will get its money\u2019s worth by making you do all the nasty things, well the public has spoken. I can only hope that having walked off the show and refused to do any more tasks, the celebrity concerned will also forfeit a large chunk of the money for failing to stay the course. Now to be fair, my Mistress said that even if you paid her \u00a3350k she wouldn\u2019t be prepared to do any of the challenges, but then she hasn\u2019t agreed to go on the show in the first place, so she can\u2019t be accused of letting the public down.<\/p>\n
Then of course there was X Factor. I\u2019ve only watched one episode of this series, but even to the untrained ear of a dog, John and Edward were weak compared to many of the other contestants. I could see they provided good modest entertainment but they certainly weren\u2019t pop star material. I was therefore delighted to hear that the public had seen sense and voted them off the show. They could have a very good career ahead of them in light entertainment, but I think it is unlikely that they will ever be completely in the limelight.<\/p>\n
That just makes me wonder why we call it \u2018limelight\u2019 when it isn\u2019t usually a green light and doesn\u2019t have the taste of citric acid to it. I\u2019m guessing there may have been some historical reason and if any of you would like to tell me what it is, I would be very grateful.<\/p>\n
