X Factor was on for TWO HOURS? Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Kudos to anyone who sat through that.

You can get through it in 1 hour 20 mins (ish) if you watch on timeshift and skip the ad breaks

That's how I normally watch, if you cut out all the sob story crap and talking even shorter

But I wanted to watch this celebrity island Bear Grylls is really ruining it.

Gonna tape it next week and fast forward him

Seriously though, the Vendetta line was so out of character for Cathy, she's not a stupid woman, who wrote that shite? Johnathon Harvey or Simon Crowther is my guess.

Well it's called "Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls" so It's going to be quite difficult to avoid him entirely, you'll end up with about 3 minutes of the programme to watch at best If you cut out all the scenes with him in them!

Remember the good old days of Madonna discussions?
Unfortunately yes

I am already here
Is that not why the thread is dying?

Also, since when is Vienetta classed as posh?

Maybe they should introduce Haagen Dazs into the street, the residents would hyperventilate

I wouldn't watch that trashy reality shite if it was the last programme on earth.

I loved the first ever series of this a couple of years ago. It was fantastic and utterly compelling but every episode was ruined with Bear Grylls randomly popping up to talk about how to survive by drinking the fluid from the eyes of a dead seagull for a few minutes here and there. I just don't see the point of his involvement with the show other than to give it a headline name. He brings nothing to the programme and has zero interactions with the islanders.

I'm considering writing to Kate Oates and asking her to convince Alison King to return as Mrs Fanshaw.

I've never seen any of it, actually tell a lie, I saw some of it via Gogglebox, they were drinking their own piss.

Are you watching it? He isn't even on the island with the celebs! He just pops up every now and then and say a monologue.

If the celebs need assistance he sends one of his team from a neighbouring island!

Basically the celebs have just been left to their own devices on the island.

They haven't eaten properly and Thom Evans has lost 2stone in a week

He is fit still tho

I've never seen it before but that is exactly how it is!

The first series was normal people (male only) and wasn't going for 'shock' moments quite so much, it was quite grown up if anything. It focused much more on the social interactions of the people in the group rather than cheap thrills from having them drink their own piss all the time. The following series haven't been as good so I haven't really watched them.

Couldn't have been our Jonathan, it would have been "bobbin' salmon" then...

Simon Crowther has to be the worst writer on Corrie at the moment (some doing), all his episodes are just awful.

Mark Burt is the best, but again, that's not saying much.

Julie Jones wrote the episode. She works closely with Jonathan Harvey and also used to write for Bob the Builder ... need I say more?
