Along with it, hopefully Kyle Sandilands' career in broadcasting, and Tony Squires adn Rebecca Wilson's. <br /><br />Calls to review and revive it are rather like saying bring Phar Lap back for one more Melbourne Cup - so it tanked with viewers this year - truh is, it hadn't been relevant since season three - I note he 'highlights' reel only had about 6 things - over eight years.<br /><br />As I've said before here, Tim Clucas should be professionally castrated for allowing such rubbish on the air.

Calls to review and revive it are rather like saying bring Phar Lap back for one more Melbourne Cup - so it tanked with viewers this year - truh is, it hadn’t been relevant since season three - I note he ‘highlights’ reel only had about 6 things - over eight years.

As I’ve said before here, Tim Clucas should be professionally castrated for allowing such rubbish on the air.

It's the golden rule of Reality TV - keep getting dumber. I'd suggest that Channel 10's next big reality show will be at least as dumb as the 'Dead Dog Island' idea spruiked by Iggy Pop's stage manager in this 'rider' (it's on the back page but the whole document is really worth reading if you've got 15 minutes to kill):<br />http://www.thesmokinggun.com/backstagetour/iggypop/iggypop1.html Anyone celebrating the demise of Big Brother will undoubtedly be even more horrified by whatever replaces it.
