Reality Shows

[gina32]

Has anyone, or does anyone know somebody who has been on a reality show, such as come dine or four in a bed, and what did they think of it?

A guy I worked with did come dine with me and said it was a good laugh. Mind you he is a bit of a comedian and loves a laugh.

My friend and her family were in one of the shows a few years back, can't remember what it was called but it was one where they criticised family spending and gave them hints and tips for savings. The cameras followed them round for weeks, and she said it was a fix - for example she was encouraged to buy wasteful things like DVDs each week, so she could "stop buying" them and save money.

I think it was Money Spinners - Lorne Spicer presented it

I was on Jezza Kyle, failed the lie detector and got booed off the stage.

I know someone who was selected to do come dine with me, but she was on holiday at the time it was due to be filmed so she had to pull out

Are you serious Jude?

I know someone who did that Dine thing. I don't watch it or any reality shows. She said it was an ..."experience."

[ummmm]

I know someone who was on CDWM. He said he worked in computers or something but he's actually a professional gambler.

ummm, is he also a gay Muslim who bakes cakes? If so, I know him.

Friend of mine was on Four in a Bed - he has a pub at Newmarket. He came second and got a lot of publicity from it and stayed friends with another couple who won. He said there was a lot more filmed that was not shown and they edited it to make it more entertaining focussing on the dispute between him and another contestant.

That pubs just near me lankeela and the landlords a bit of a show off in a nice enough way, and there were a few regulars not happy while it was being filmed.
