The bit with Alex was one of the show's weaker moments, though that wasn't particularly Alex's fault.

Frank Bruno on Celebrity Advice Bureau was, by contrast, pant-wettingly funny. Likewise the bit where they got the Lapdance Island applicants to do a lapdance for the (male) producer.

I thought it was very funny....far from making Alex look stupid..to me it showed how funny he can be

I didnt think I was going to laugh at any of this show, but it was so daft, I just couldnt help it, as for being a career maker or breaker...I hardley think so.... it was just a little bit of fun

I don't think Alex was a total embarrasment at all, I wasn't going to watch, as I did think it would show Alex in such a bad light. But there were loads of celebrities taken in on this scam, and it doesn't seem to have effected them, so why pick just Alex out ?I thought he was going to be ridiculed merciously on it, but he wasn't, he took it in fun, like most did, and he wasn't even on there that long anyway. Although I would rather he hadn't appeared on it, he did, and there is no going back now, and it didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would. So we will have to just put this down to a bad choice on Alex's part and leave it at that, nothing else we can do.

Of course I would like to see Alex with his own show, and I'm sure we will, but don't compere him to that clown Jonny, who hasn't even got an ounze of talent in his little finger. As for Kate, she may be making money and self induced headlines, but careerwise, being given shows that are falling dead on their feet like RI:SE and TOTF's isn't my idea of good career choices, if she isn't careful, she could soon be yesterday's news.

This is an artical from my local evening paper: (Maybe Tamara can get a link).
Writen by Victor Lewis Smith on last nights Pilot Show.
He says in the artical:
' Channel 4's previous ventures into hoaxing have often been successful. Trigger Happy TV pulled off some delightedfully surreal stunts with genuinely bemused celebrities, while The Mark Thomas Comedy Product (although never knowningly funny) at least used weak practical jokes to expose government hypocrisy, but The Pilot Show has no humour and no purpose, so it humiliates and demeans without reason or justification.

There are plenty of people who work in television who do
deserve such treatment, such as the legion of self-important commissioning editors at all channels.
The BBC's increasingly absurd Alan Yentob, or the appalling bully Ruby Wax, whose face (wont get out of mine) has the permanent look of a bulldog licking piss from a nettle, but let's not give airtime to the likes of Toyah Willcox or Narinda and her fellow refugees from BB:
Frankly, they are not even house-hold names in their own households and are simply suffering from a severe case of mistaken nonentity'.

What is scary is that I keep coming back for more.

well i maybe wouldnt class myself as an alex "fan"... but no. He's a good guy and deserves to have a successful career in whatever. Even if his tv career doesnt work out, personally i think it'd be nice to see him come back to modeling.

In fact i think that might even be better for his image, redevelop a classy image credibility, appear back in upmarket fashion mags, campaigns and shows. Break away from the tacky downmarket celeb gossip mags and BB associations.

if i was someone with his best interests at heart, what concerns me more that the dupe, is that his agents evidently seem to think it was suitable for him. Which suggest they're happy to market his image downmarket, and i think thats wrong for him

I won't deny that I think you have a point Marky.

There must be people who care what Victor Lewis Smith thinks I suppose but I can't say that I've ever met one.........

You forgot Hunky.......In you title for this thread........EEjay......

nah u got it wrong, what actually did happened to him on the mean streets of NYC was...

he got seduced
by a gorgeous babe
for 4 hours
in her room
lucky guy

he lived in New York no problem
coped fine
even with the horrible pigeon outside

I've seen hunkier runner beans.

Fair play to him though, I saw the pilot show and I thought he handled it very well.

I assumed that you were a bloke.

Can blokes judge hunky?

According to my latest Sky tv guide, it looks like the Celebrity Fear Factor with Alex in it is on Thursday, 30th October, Sky One 9pm.

Did I read somewhere that it was filmed about a year ago.

I couldn't say. But you might have if you were doing your usual searches on Alex.

don't forget to set your video recorder Bystander, you really don't want to miss an opportunity to nitpick.

Does it really matter when it was filmed?

I wouldn't mind seeing Alex as a client in The Salon, I'm sure he'd be good fun in there.

I wonder if he's in the line up for today's record breaking bikini waxing thing?

See!...................I can do positive Alex posts.

Bit of wishful thinking there bystander....

Only thinking of you angels Darling....................you know me, always ready to help an angel missing her Alex appearance on TV.

Don't get your knickers in a twist, I only asked an innocent question.

I only asked too, sorry it came out wrong, I really meant does it matter?

Think I had better go and put the kettle on!

My apologies to, I didn't think you had a sense of humour, seems like I was wrong.

Angels don't HAVE to be female bystander.

You know that we've long considered you one of us.....

Yeah.... don't forget bystander all the biggest and best know Angels... are MALE....

Gabriel
Michael
Satan (don't forget he was chucked out of heaven in spite of being the best looking Angel......)

Ben Affleck and the other one out of Dogma
