Is a new thing coming on tv, has anyone heard of it before, not sure if it is just an aussie program or not. It is watching people watching tv, think it starts in February, sounds really strange

LOL I have never heard of it, how strange!!

 

[sorcer3ss (RETIRED)]

It sounds pretty awful but I wont be able to resist watching it at least once, I got sucked in to watching the bachelor this year and I swore I would never watch that.

 

[CareyG]

Hahaha I love the Bachelor!!

Is that a box you hook up to tv to watch stuff or a show?

No it is people watching tv, they must be choosing people and setting up a camera in their house. That's the only thing I can think of. Carey I really got sucked in with the bachelor, it was the aussie version and he asked the girl to marry him in the finale and then backed out a few weeks later and approached one of the other girls who gave him the flick and then moved onto another one. What a jerk he was, I felt so sorry for the girl, but at least she got to keep the expensive ring, think it was worth over 50 grand.

Another new show that is coming on is I am a celebrity get me out of here, which is going to be set in Africa, I definitely will give that one a try. There is a slot by that name at 32Red Casino, so presumably the slot is based on the show.

They had a guy on the American version that did that. He proposed to one then came back to the reunion show and and broke off with her and ended up marrying the 2nd runner up and they have kids now and everything. Crazy!

They really shouldn't propose if that sort of thing has happened before, don't know if it is the show producers that push them into that, but it must have been terrible for the guy being humiliated in public like that.

Yes I think for sure the producers push them into it. They usually try to make them sway in the direction of the public, whoever the public likes more.
