Ding Dong, The Crap Is Dead!

One of the main reasons I got Foxtel installed about 2 years ago was because of the awful reality shows on Channel 10 (and the constant sport on all channels). Let's face it, if you're not in the mood for political analysis, european porn, home make over shows or whatever awful crap Channel 7 shows, there's really only Channel 10 left to show something that doesn't make your eyes bleed. Unfortunately, they also eschew normal programming at many times throughout the year for Big Brother, Australian Idol and Rove (ugh).

I don't watch any of those awful shows. I did for the first seasons of each, but after that it's really only famewhores who ever try out for them, hoping to get their mug on TV. I must be one of the only ones who has no clue about any of the current BB contestants, or any from the last 6 years. I haven't even watched one minute of it. And I don't even know if Australian Idol is still going. I haven't watched it since that goofy afro guy won it.

Even so, I was absolutely thrilled when I read reports that BB is not coming back after this year. This country does not need more avenues for bogan famewhores to make fools of themselves on TV. That's what Today Tonight and A Current Affair are for. And maybe, although it's a slim chance, Channel 10 might replace said crap with something decent that I might be interested in enough to switch over from Lifestyle Food. God I love that channel. Except when that awful Nigella is on. I can't stand that woman. Serving pre-cooked shell-on prawns to your guests as an entree is not cooking!!!!!
