As for publicity for RL, I think the media will see him as a former Rugby Union player. They might call him a former dual code player. Unless he stays involved in League (à la Jonathan Davies), then I fear his League days will be forgotten outside of the RL community.

I hope he doesn't mention our great sport on it.

I hate to take the 'moral high ground' when it comes to this kind of television and put people down, and it's something I have actively been biting my lip about recently (especially when people talk about 'Towie' or 'Desperate Scousewives'). However on this occasion I genuinely can't see how this programme benefits the human race, utter trash, and I hope our sport isn't dragged into the gutter along with the shameless money grabbing Thomas.

Might sound harsh but my views are my own.

What the hell is CBB. It better be epic or have a very very long title to deserve an abbreviation other wise I will consider the original poster a touch assumptive, lazy or a touch ish...

If people stop watching this utter crap then they will have to stop producing such utter crap. Come on folks do your bit.

Not harsh enough. Television like this is pure poison.

I don't watch this either, but I did when it started and my nephew and all his mates do now.
Like it or not, you have to accept, millions do still like it and they are all marketing targets.

Can't hurt.

Hence the in my post, I always think smilies tend to indicate I didn't really mean it

I wouldn't say it was one of the biggest programmes on TV at the moment. Maybe if you are under 25 which sadly I'm not.

Quite right. We had a quiet weekend so I ended up sitting through it all (got to keep the Mrs happy, you understand).

I was literally speechless watching that fooking tool from TOWIE attempting the atlas quiz. They unveiled a world atlas and his first words were "is this Essex or the world, or what?". He couldn't place a pin in the USA. He couldn't find Australia, South Africa or Canada, amongst others. Seriously, how can anyone genuinely be that moronic? I also find it astounding that this is apparently acceptable and probably seen as cutely amusing. Genuinely shocked, and a little saddened.

To many of these 'role models' young people are aspiring to are in there for either having big boobs, having an affair or being stupid on a reality show. There are a couple with genuine talent but they're the less popular and glamorous few.

For all its media hype only a few hundred thousand more watch this to the challenge cup final

Corrected.

You calling anyone ish is like the pope calling someone catholicish.

Next time just ing google it you tiresome cretin.
