Yep it's a shit show and they should infect them with the zombie virus from night of the dead, watched that last night, then we can take pot shots at them especially Gretel and that other dickhead. Any thing on channel ten is crap except for the V8 Supercars.

mpf.. even tho its crap tv i would still like to keep it here on the goldie as it does a great job for the tourist industry that keeps the light on and kids fed for many families around the area..
we love the tourists they come to the goldie/se qld for a hol empty their wallets and then go back to their lives with a story of bliss and sunshine that then infects their friends who come to visit next holiday.. 😏
theres more to it than just crap tv thats for sure.. i feel it will be around till the money stops rollin in..

Yeah, watched that yesterday and was shocked :o, Was a great race though. 21st july am attending the V8 supercars at Queensland raceway, will be fun 😀
It was interesting though, putting my engine in my car, on 4KQ AM radio, heard the news a few times, john howard rekons big brother is stupid. I can't believe i'm saying this, but i actually AGREE with him :o
has any one here actually heard the tape of what occurred...i just heard it played on 105.3...def not as bad as everyone has been told/thinks...I think the media went over board on it.
I'm not saying its a 'good thing' but when u hear it...camilla is laughing thru the whole thing. Seems she was asking abotu what the 'turkey slap is' and they showed her...she was laughing her arse off...and everyone in the house heard and saw...cause she was laughing as she yells "i just got turkey slapped!'
BB is saying the boys were kicked for a breach of the rules, not a crime being committed. And Camilla said it was a "joke, and she's not offended by what they did"
Given this...I think it got out of hand.
Having said that, I also think the first one or two seasons were okay...but now...its gone down hill. This year I've not watched most of it...my kids have, and sometimes I watch at night (there is NOTHING on) But i usually retreat to the bedroom and watch abc or something else.
dubless. 🥲 🥷 And who the helled parked the Mitsubishi "Prancer" under my house??? 🥷
media has done so much influence, and i bet bigbro is lappin it up in hte ratings. WHO DIDN"T watch last night to work out wat happened. i didn't want to, but my mum was glued to the set. and i had to cope with it 🙁
well kinda...shows the crew being told boys wont be back, and camilla explaining she's okay with what happened, that it was just a joke out of hand etc...
dubless. 🥲 🥷 And who the helled parked the Mitsubishi "Prancer" under my house??? 🥷
i'm sure if it was serious, should would have bitten it off... and i'm sure we would have found out. lol
who knows, but be great to see the result of all this and waht comes out. I'm just not gonna be trusting any TV though or any media really, so many things and words have been manipulated i just don't have any trust in it. Its all goss, hehe.
Have to say though, free tv is getting suckier each yr 🙁
Did anyone see the John and Ashley interview that Gretal just did? It looked very rehearsed and scripted. I agree it's been taken well out of context and is way wrong behaviour, but I just wonder what John and Ashley would have done if David turkey slapped them?
gotta remember its still rating in the top 10 every night. people will watch what they want. with the internet i dont think anything on free to air TV should worry us.
just something for people to whinge and worry about.
and the PM is telling CH10 to take it off air. Maybe we should all just watch Fox and Friends with Little Johnny. What a cocksucker.

Rumour has it that that isn't even their real names :o
its aimed at teens, thats the issue. The shows died off in terms of revenue, so like all media it's selective as to what it want to show. The issue then is one of the commercial validation of sexual harrassment in terms of morality and social justice.
But 10 needs the ratings and without 'shock' then it has no value. What will determine the end result will be in the hands of the advertisers, who pulls their ads and money from the show. But then when did morality stand in the way of a good advert, and they need the shock value to justify the advertising revenue. Howard got stuck in just because he needs to show his voting demographic hes old school I suspect.
What it has done is send 10s internet traffic through the roof, and with it, greater exposure for sponsors and advertisers.
Two stupid blokes and a slapper = coin for someone else. The housemates are so tied down in contracts that they have little choice but to go with any decision 10 makes anyway.
Don't watch, dont visit the site, and dont send them money - i mean vote - which is the same thing and it will die off anyway. Commercial TV doesnt make shows for arts sake, but for advertising demographics... 10 are selling soft-teese-porn to teanagers, who watch in the hope of seeing the odd tit... Gen Y version of reading National Geographic....
dont watch but sell papers(newsagent) if the media has blown it out of proportion then
why if they were kicked out on sat the supposed reply was last night, think about it.
havent figgered it out bloody hell tens crap got heaps of media & has knocked the p & o disgrace off the front page so ppl will watch now to see what else happens= ratings thats sick sick sick.
me i watched denton & the interview with the 3 cab drivers, great interview & stories & the cabbies story of the 3 teenager girls a bit drunk(as blind as a welders dog) & what happens was the funniest story ive
heard for years, when tears are running & your chest hurts your laughing too hard.
like a gelignite stick in a 44 gallon drum of chuncky pineapple was how he described the chunder then he cleaned up till the next customer jumped in & could'nt handle the smell
& proceeded to do the same as the drunk schoolie.
this cabby had me laughing for hours😂

gotta agree!!! That cabby interview was the best thing i've seen on tv for years!!! I liked it when he was explaining how his "good looks" could make a steam train want to head off down a bush track!! Would love to ride in this guys cab...what an absolute laugh!!!! GENUINE entertainment!!!:beer:beer
i dont get why people want it off air. I agree that its trash, but if its worse than whats on the other channel, then swap over. I cant believe how worked up people get over saying how bad it is. I think Lost is one of the most ridiculous shows on TV, the look of Bert Newtons head makes me spew, those current affairs shows after the news are trashy in every respect, I wont even go to Neighbours/Home and Away, let alone the day time soaps. But I dont scream to have them taken off air. Dont watch/dont bitch about what you dont like fer christs sake people.
The guys did something that I would want to smack them in the head for. But the girl isnt bothered by it at all, the guys were kicked off the show, lets all move on.
A show I do like to watch, desperate housewives, has hit and runs, alcoholism, infidelity, murders, people locked in basements, so many different blackmails I cant count. Nobody is bothered by this show.
That's coz on desperate housewives they're just 'pretending' to be bad. Do it in real life and everyone gets upset...or offers you lots of money to watch.
I think we'd better off if it wasn't on the air (like a lot of other things). I also think Channel 10 is hypocritical for inviting people to exhibit their lives of complete sexual self indulgence in front of TV cameras, but then kicking people out when they exercise that indulgence to it's unfortunate extremes.
hey yeah i just watched the vid link and the holding down part was maybe a bit over much, but she was happy to play along then continued to stay in the cot with the two losers..
yeah, not a flash message to send to the youth.. but totally blown out of proportion to me anyways..
typical media nothing better to do since they they killed their prize pic lady in that french tunnel.. :duh
fractal geometry; the inner most limits of mind altering abuse
...because the majority of teenagers, despite what they tell you, are quite poor at objectively viewing this kind of crap for what it is.
By not nailing it, and to justify it using the girl with 'its not a big deal', to justify it as being 'okay' then it further blurs the line and endorses poor moral behaviour and choices for teenagers.
Adults are far better at putting it into context of light weight toss-tv than teenagers, who are bombarded with images that present an un-real world which they lack the life experience to judge effectively.
It not an issue of whether it offends the people directly concerned, but whether the message of 'its okay to do this as long as no one really complains' ... when quite clearly the sexual harassment laws say that any sexual activity needs to explicit in the affermative, ie --- is it okay for me to wave my tackle in yer face? ... yes I wouldnt mind at all' ---
My issues is purly that 10 continues to exploit the youth/teen audience in favour of priofit. The moronic housemates and their paying audience. To use the girl to justify its harmless nature is pathetic and exploitative at best.
To air it over the internet is stupid. Even live radio is not live, but time lagged ... 10 has a duty of care to the people in their broadcast and those viewing it, which they not only ignored, but used to further add to their bottom line.
If you want to let her kids watch this kind of crap, then thats a parental choice I guess, but when they are out in the park, drinking cheap booze etc., talking about this crap, there is a distinct possibility that they will not deem it unacceptable in the future, say at a party.
No, we didn't abuse her, we were just mucking about, look, shes not bothered - are you? it was just a laugh.
The more the line is allowed to be blured, the greater the risk of it happening at a party, in the park, in the mall or at school. Unless its explictly invited, then its illegal.

:thumbCould not agree more!!. I hate BB and all reality TV stands for. Meaningless drivel. If I want to turn my brain into mush I will stick my head in a garden mulcher! The worst thing about it all is that my missus who watches this shite kicked me off the internet to find out more about the incedent cos it wasn't being shown on TV. Ratings Hype. No-one suffers except the share-holders when the ratings slide. TV is Bollocks.
