The annual Jungle bollocks is over and I saw about 5 minutes of it. Still no idea which Z-list sleb won and I really don't care who did.

I thought it was really good this year. It's quite something to be snobby about this - I'd heard of all of the participants. Toff won, but Iain Lee was my favourite, came 3rd.

It's nothing to do with being "snobby", god knows I watch enough junk - it's exactly the same show every year. Take some slebs, put them in situations where they have to test themselves (be that eating kangeroo penises/being covered with bugs etc etc)/bore them for 23hrs a day so they talk about themselves and "open up", A&D do the same shtick.

And the trick of American TV where the slebs talk about what they've done rather than just bloody well show it. I am truly amazed that it's so popular - it's so formulaic and really quite dull.
 
Agreed. It was good fun and the right result imho. It's called light entertainment, and beats most of the tripe on tv.

For the same reason I've not bothered with The Apprentice for about 3 years now. It's just a bunch of business people who big themselves up each week, and then have an argument to save their skin.

It's now boring.

Like all "reality" shows sadly, they've all had their day.

I always love I'm a Celeb, and I thought this year's was really good. Ant & Dec were on fine form, the winner, Toff, just totally restored my faith in human nature, such a sweet girl. Boris' dad was fun, the only one I'd never heard of was the You tube guy who left early. My only criticism is that I think they're made the eating/drinking ones too much, they shouldn't have to drink a pint of blended animal parts for goodness sake! Likewise the whole bowl of revolting soup Becca had to. Just rein it back a bit, please.

Got a ticket for Dylan's concert here next March at the Liceu.Outrageously expensive and slap bang in the middle of the Easter hols.but I'm a happy bunny.

I'm guessing you won't be after the concert. I saw him a few years ago at the O2. His voice has gone. Heaven knows how bad it'll be now.

That said, at least I can say I saw him live...
 
Apologies for the Graniud link, but I had to stifle my laughter in the office just now.

I've sen him live loads of times,including his last visit here two years ago.Very rare for him to play an indoor concert in Barna.
