As it decays, the contestants releases all the main plant nutrients such as ham (acting), hair extensions, calcium (false nails) and bull ****e plus many minerals and vitamins. Its proteins and carbohydrates feed the earthworms and beneficial fungi and bacteria that make soil fertile by decomposing organic matter.

Brilliant! fancy going into business with me? We could start off on the Dragons Den and ask for £5,000,000 for 3% of the company and I think they will bite our hands off.

One question though, do the contestants have to be actually dead when we bury them?

Bint is one of those great words, like munter and hoofer, although a different meaning.

Only 5 Million, I wouldn't get out of bed for that.

Besides my past business ventures have got me in hot water before now.

Surely the satisfaction of cutting them up into small chunks is payment enough.

You are of course correct. We don’t need the money in order to save the world and to slice and dice the talentless half wits.

the auditions are the only bit i ever watch, dont normally watch it after that point as there are very few idiots after that. the crying thing got peoples attention in the early days (look at gareth gates and the others) but people are sick of it now and anyone who votes for one who reduces themselves to tears needs to take a good look at themselves as this is usually the only reason they cry (for the guilt trip).

The what factor... what's that all about then?

They'd have a chance at a job if they were!

I suppose it could be a set up, but then again, the tv channels wouldn't risk it after the fiasco over the phone voting in other tv programs.

It is a shame though, people who watch it (that includes the OP

) are watching a young person having their hopes and dream crushed for entertainment. Whatever the motiviation for these people to get on the program they obviously believe they can win it.

What this program does is it takes someones dream that they are too lazy to work on and realise and offer them a shortcut that, at best, will see the winner in the spotlight for a few months/years then cast into obscurity, at worst it'll crush what little hope they had.

Personally, I think all these programs should all be banned.

Edit:- Wow, where did that come from???

I watch it for several reasons. One to see the Chavs ‘Shot at Dawn’ is always satisfying, but also to hear the occasional glimpse of talent. I sometimes end up working with these ppl. That stupid girl in the Girl Group that threw her Radio Mic down after being generally pap, would be first against the wall in my book. Trouble is an insignificant, stuck up, narcissistic little Princess like that, often ends up becoming famous. They are totally unpleasant to work with and wouldn’t understand the concept of Professionalism if it was to offer her a seminar on the subject.

niceyellow vrs · 05-10-2008, 22:57

Does anyone remember that guy called "Big John" who used to go on every year? When I used to work for Iceland, he repeatedly begged me to employ him. He would phone the store and suggest to me random job roles he thought would be good for him!

amanda you got to calm down , these people dont deserve the oxygen of a response , the whole celebrity culture is just sad nowadays.
what kid wants to be an engineer or pilot nowadays , they all want to be "rich and famous"
reams of talentless ******* seem to be drawn to a quick fix fame thing .
why do they not know how sh**te they are, its painfull to watch.
my son sings in a band , mind you it sounds like he is being sick to music , but they practise 2x a week and work hard for it.
i dont think they expect stardom but they enjoy it and none of them cries about it.
this tattoed long haired pierced son of mine likes my roy orbison cds and some cat stevens songs because they are genuine talent .
and lindisfarne are cool too lol.

if you think that lots bad my daughter watches americas next top model .
now thats just beyond a joke , it pointless to the point of pain , these people believe that its important to dress like a lizard or god knows what, its excruciatingly bad.
the judges dont know if there arthur or martha and wear womens clothes like carmen miranda with the fruit on her head .
how far from reality can you get .

pixi · 10-10-2008, 22:53

It's not just me then! From about ten minutes in last week all any of them seemed to do was turn on the water works.

Yes, we know it's your dream and it's all you've ever wanted to do, but get a grip! I must admit to having a lump in my throat a few weeks back though, when that guy who's wife died giving birth first appeared on the show.

Lady Elanore · 10-10-2008, 23:11

Looks like I am having to go through it all again tomorrow

pixi · 10-10-2008, 23:12
