See, the people who apply to go on shows like these are usually the least suitable people to actually do it. They're boring and think that they can get famous for doing nothing. And the worst part is, the country still laps it up. I think that says more about the state of the nation than anything else.
To anyone who hates the reality TV crap, I recommend reading Ben Elton's Dead Famous (a BB parody) and Chart Throb (Pop Idol). Brilliant.
