Celebrity Mastermind

[Caran]

Just watched a recording of this from earlier. Didn't know a single person either by sight or name.
I do think the term celebrity is rather overused on nonentities nowadays.
Looking at the Get me Out of Here, I reckon I know about four of them.

[DaisyNonna]

Perhaps it is who they think they are.

[Gromit]

Didn' see it. Was this the line up... Episode 10 celebrities in the studio

Tony Livesey - Ex Editor Sunday Spirt, BbC Journalist
Ava Vidal, - ?
Monty Halls ?
Richard Coles - Ex PipStar wit he Communards. Reverend and TV joyrnalist.

Who decides who is a Celebrity. ?

Most of the so-called Celebs are unknown to me.

Hans.

'Sunday Spirt' - fruedian typo

[Cloverjo]

I wouldn't call the novelist who was on Celeb Mastermind a celebrity, but I suppose the others are on tv or radio enough to be classed as such.
I agree that the term is overused nowadays.

[Cloverjo]

Gromit, it was this one on today.

I can't remember who they were at all. How do these unknown "celebrities" get chosen for the reality programmes?

[DaisyNonna]

Suppose they have agents who nominate them

@Gromit.....In your last posting I think you meant to say....Freudian.

lol....Hans. ☺☺☺

A listers are too canny to put themselves in firing line and botch up their career.

[Caran]

That's the one Cloverjo. The blonde girl came up with some cracking answers.
She was asked about a road in Paris that connected with Arc De Triomphe she said Marble Arch!

Tony Livesey is on 5 Live, and I think he has even presented The One Show.

Fred MacAulay is a Scottish comedian and radio presenter - find him very funny. I love Mark Billingham's books but not sure "celebrity" is an apt description.

One man's celebrity is another man's nonentity!
