Channel Flicker

[Jordyboy9]

While flicking through the channels love island appears,my first experience of this,surely there is something wrong with our mentality in excepting this krapp on our screens,and yes I know that there is plenty of other channels to choose,but surely what kind of people watch this.

"and they are all as thick as pig **** "

Last year there was a doctor on the show

This year there is a pharmacist, someone with a law degree trying to be a solicitor, a Scientist, a dentist and an ex royal navy officer

The rest range from models, to having their own companies, to health and beauty to public service positions.

Quite an arrogant statement, me thinks, HereIAm.

[spathiphyllum]

Oh and someone is an Aircraft engineer...

We haven't got to the girl's great attributes yet but I'm sure they stick out.. Lol

[spathiphyllum]

Quite disrespectful, and very ignorant.. also rather arrogant.

jno 'Seriously, ZM, telly has changed a lot.'

I know, I know. Tell Jordy, not me!

Jordy - At least I've resurrected your post.

SK - // Suffered it once when my daughter visited. Absolute garbage. The whole concept appears to be who is the first to have sex, tawdry. //

As I and others have pointed out, one person's 'tawdry' is another person's 'appointment to view'.

Tastes, and especially the tastes of generations, change, and each 'older' is baffled and occasionally outraged by the 'younger'.

It's the way the world is, and always has been, but trust me, civilisation as we know it is not going to evaporate over night because a bunch of physically attractive young people flaunt themselves on TV!

As an avid lover of islands this sounds like the perfect programme for me.

When is it on please?

[jno]

ZM, Jordy already knows - you were ticking him off for saying so.

Think what you like spath - not bothered.

[spathiphyllum]

Bothered enough to respond ;)

[spathiphyllum]

Also typical dogmatism as i said. "Not bothered what you think" even though my opinion is a lot more educated than yours, evidently.

[hereIam]

So ??????

Great post at 11:49 retro btw.

[hereIam]

If you say so spath, like I said not bothered ..

[spathiphyllum]

you seem very bothered actually... not only to come onto a thread about a show you don't like or watch, but then to repeatedly tell someone you're not bothered (about wat actually?) whilst endorsing the arrogant vibe.

[andy-hughes]

Let's calm down, it's too hot to argue, but sadly, never too hot to get a thread derailed and terminated.

[spathiphyllum]

I'm unsure how you can have such strong opinions for a show you don't watch.
These reality shows are full of... Real people!

It aint no coronation street is it HereIAm? How education and beneficial for the population that one is.

[spathiphyllum]

Royal Navy officers are senior managers in the Royal Navy, working on board ships and submarines. They work in all types of situations from combat exercises at sea to humanitarian operations. As someone who served in the pathetic attempt at a police force, known as Scotland Yard (located, and operating only in... London?) you would have thought he'd have more respect for an exroyal navy officer .

[Arksided]

From the bits I've seen, to me they're certainly a dense bunch, and even with their good looking bodies can't hold my attention.

I won't/can't criticize anyone for liking it, re-runs of the muppet show is great and far more entertaining for me.
