Never watched it, never will. The phrase “pathetic and tragic” springs to mind.

Grammar kills!
“The juggxrnaught of homogenised clickbait culture rolled flat any other offering so gleaming what I can from the nauseating wall to wall coverage of this weird sexist medieval tripe, here is what I understand as what the main plot points were.”

Maybe slow down while you write these rants Martyn and or get a proof reader.
Otherwise a great piece. 3/5 😛

Or how about a ‘true’ Survivor? One where someone is stuck on an island, with only their relatives-the ones they DON’T get along with.
Anything except straight out killing.
And for whoever survives, a letter from WINZ, saying that their benefit has been stopped because they left the country . . .
I can hear the screams now . . “That’s not fair”
Maybe not, but it’s REALITY.

In reply to CLEANGREEN. That's why we have so much of this "click bait drivel " so people don't start thinking and wake up their minds

My 11 year old said this morning, at seeing some ‘news’ headline online re the Bachelor, said,” I think there’s at least 1000 people who have a really broken heart today, have something to be really sad about. Did she really think it was real? ”

Even with no television or newspaper it is near impossible to avoid this crap, great job TV3. At least we still kept our heads. Off with theirs.

Vive la revolution!

The biggest irony about so-called “reality TV” is that it is as far from reality as you could possibly go, for about 99% of the population.
Reality for most people in this country is that they go to work, eat their lunch, go home, eat dinner, go to sleep, get up, go to work…….
That is what most of us do five or six days a week.
That wouldn’t make good television would it? It is unscripted boring dullsville.
That’s why we have programmes like the Batchelor where we can all join in the mystery and imagination of watching people choose their mates with the all the drama of The Young and the Restless.
If that is reality TV then so is WWWE Raw.
