TV's Love Island sinks in apathy
Ratings plummet for ITV reality show lambasted by the critics, as viewers find that watching yet more minor celebrities is a real turn-off
reality tv shockers:
Did ITV controller Nigel Pickard have second sight over the beastly tabloid response to Celebrity Love Island? Monkey only asks after Pickard took a short break in the US before heading to the LA screenings, thereby missing all the nasty red-top headlines. .... The producer of Celebrity Love Island, Natalka Znak, thinks the half-hour evening shows should be longer and has identified the culprit. "There's the news at 10.30," she said last week, "that's the problem".
What's wrong with Celebrity Love Island?
... one could start with the presenting team and work forwards. Poor Patrick Kielty looks like a young priest paying a pastoral visit to Spearmint Rhino - his bonhomie veneered over despair, distaste and mounting disillusion. Beside him is the unaccountably dreadful Kelly Brook who takes her style, spontaneity, reactivity and wit from the performance of Madonna in Shanghai Surprise ... The highlight has been Abi Titmuss correctly spelling "inconsequential" - arguably the finest postmodern joke yet cracked on TV. Celebrity Spelling could be a much more profitable avenue to explore ...
if you thought SLI was bad ...
The suggestion that Celebrity Love Island is the dumbest show ITV will ever make is surely premature if this appeal for a new ITV1 talent show, hosted by Joe Pasquale and coincidentally also made by Granada, is anything to go by.
Hah I have held out against the evul lure of SLI & The Farm and kept myself pure for The One True Reality TV Show. I can't believe it starts this Friday woooooooooooo.
