Topic: Temptation Island! I want to vomit

TV has sunk to a new low with this show.I realy don't know whats worse the fact that some-one came up with the idea or that ppl want to watch this trash.

I don't mind looking in on ppl's live's but to sit here and watch young couples that would probably have promising future's together get tested like this it very very very sad. :(

And further more in an age where ppl are srtugling to keep there relationships together some sad mofo is producing a show designed to break ppl up.They then slap a labble on it saying it's entertainment.

I think not.

Books arent apart of my world.

^^ my quote DONT steal.

and since when has T.V been apart of your life John? what you watched it between refreshing that 56k modem on the qgl forum :P

and I'm not even going to watch one epidsoe of that s*** "lets see if he is really worth spending the rest of my life with."

ok, hes my view; you meet girl, girl loves you and you both go on show. you wish the girl of your dreams(her) wants to spen dhte rest of your life with, but some other SLUT comes along, wants to make love, and NOT spend the rest of your life with.

1day/week f*** fest, or the 353* days of the year f*** fest(with chick that you take).....

* = 12 days taken off due to that time of the month :P (moody time)

Haha interesting logic Greg haha :)

They are so f***ing forcing it on me. I used to watch other programs at the times that this total faeces is on now. Everytime I turn the box on, no matter what the channel, one of these f***ing things is on. Either that or all you see are adds for em.

TV really is goin to s*** now.

Television, the drug of the nation. Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation.

I watch very, very little TV anymore. I prefer interactivity so therefore, The Internet.

When I do watch TV, I generally prefer informative programs like documentaries or current affairs (Foreign Correspondant owns you), although I also watch FlatChat to see my sister on TV.

I think there is a little too much American shlock on our screens, although I am not completely against US shows as once in a while something good comes along (Simpsons, Seinfeld, X-Files etc.). But there is one thing that really pisses me off, and that is the influx of f***ing American commercials, with stupid Yanks with their cocksucking voices trying to sell us s***. f*** off! These multi national corporations should fork out the few extra bucks to use Aussie talent instead of re-hashing some US crap.

f***it. Just stay online.

Yeah, I think this "reality tv" has reached a new low with temptation island. Its just plain cruel to stick 8 people on an island and deliberately f*** up their long term relationships with each other. Surely they're dredging the barrel for ideas when they come up with that.

And yeah, the "if you dont like it, dont watch it argument" is all good and proper. But it still stands, the show is crap :)

EniGma, if you are the same dude who wanted to sell me that Desert Eagle the other weekend, please ICQ or email me via the buttons below.

I am very interested :)

Anyway, back to the topic - TV IS FARKED.

I hate all these new "real life" drama shows. For starters, people never react realistically when there is a camera shoved obviously in their face. When you start throwing in producers and s*** that are OBVIOUSLY trying to direct the path of the show so that its more viewer friendly, it turns into a hodgepodge of mass media slaw. I heard on the radio (nfi if its true) that one of the chicks off the Australian outback one was taking them to court, because the producers or someone had had a private word to some of the other 'contestants' to vote her off, or something like that.

So far, all they seem to do is show how people react under pressure in a particularly superficial way. Everyone KNOWS they're on TV, so they don't really act like they would in a normal situation; they KNOW they're not going to die if they run out of food, they KNOW that if they act like an a****** on the show, they're going to come off it and look like total megamegaultra tools.

So of course they behave in a weird manner. Add to the fact that the producers actually want to see them competing and acting like a******s, then it just gets really weird.

Of course, TV has never really been about innovation, its been about taking someone else's idea and wrapping it differently.

Stupid TV!

Yeah Trog I think you summed up the behaviour of ppl infront of canera's quite nicely.People are never the same when they know everyones watching although some of them let slip with their ugly side when the pressure's on at times.

I guess what gets me is what's so wrong with ppl's lives that they get a kick out of seeing others suffer and I think Temp Island is the worst by far.

I don't watch TV. It's merely a tool put in place by the Government to keep the population subdued and under control. It's like what the Roman Emperors did. They put on 'Games' to entertain the people so they wouldn't worry about the disease and famine that was going around.

Don't watch t.v.
There is too many U.S. s***e shows on.

I've treked across the U.S. and didn't like it.
My oldest brother lives in SAN FRAN, poor fella...
He wears a body armor and carries a gun when he goes out.
He says it's quite normal to hear gun shots going off around the city..
Also there is thousands of homeless peaple living in the streets...
The U.S. should stop worrieing about the rest of the world and pay a bit of money to clean up there own backyard...
You will never see real local news come out of the U.S. because it's full of peaple killing eachother.
There was 700 gang related killings in one week, when i was in L.A.

I think the only reason the people watch that show is to have a good ol' perve on the men/women.

I don't watch much TV either.....and I want to live in America, for the most part the violence is blown out of proportion.

What is your sister's name StreX, and what does she do on the show? As for reality TV, I saw an ad for the show "Becker', didnt watch it, but thought the clip was funny. He says to Richard Hatch (more of a media tart than Peter Beattie):
'TV has become the petri dish in which this country grows it idiots'
LOL.

Only TV i watch is maybe Will and Grace and/or Buffy and Star Trek DS9 on Tuesday and Voyager on Wednesday

Apart from that i don't watch TV, it's a waste of time and an insult to any australian's intelligence.

Oh and Zoix, if you had a real girlfriend, you'd know it's more than *just* one day a month =)

It's quite a few days in a row every month actually.
