[Humour] Farage is a contestant on "I'm a celebrity ****, get me out of here".
- Thread starter Harry Wilson's tackle
- Start date
They’ll increase their viewing figures by at least one if this happens
I simply couldn’t watch that clutch of talentless jobbernowls for entertainment if my life depended on it.
I seriously don’t get the appeal. Especially of someone like Farage.

10 minutes of trash TV, 5 minutes of zzzzzz ads, x 4, gives a lost hour no one will ever get back.
I genuinely couldn’t contribute to the viewing figures in all good conscience.

Maybe the possibility of a late entrance by Rishi Sunak, could be out of a job soon.

Nearly that time for the 2nd best TV show of the year, and another nod that Xmas/Winterval is just around the corner. It's time for Celebrity!! :banana: It looks like season 23 could be the best ever judging by the rumoured line-up. Nigel Farage Olivia Attwood Tyrone Dobbs Josie Gibson...

US banks will pay mega money to have him as a non exec director, he is actually intelligent.
Whilst Farage needs to top up his cash, he pinned his tail on the Trump donkey being president for two consecutive terms. Sniffing around a job in DC.

TBF it would be better for everyone if the path went House of Commons, I’m a celebrity rather than House of Commons then House of Lords like Nadine expected.

Why are people with no interest in the programme all over this thread.
Why not just ignore it
I'm watching it by the way.

I’m conflicted on this, the last few years we have watched it with the kids as they are of an age where this is funny for them but I don’t want to contribute to anything with that frog on

This historically was one of the guilty pleasures in my household. I started watching last year but felt repulsed by Hancock on it. Im sure many who lost relatives during covid especially in care homes would have felt that way.
In the end it gave me back an hour of my life each night and i got out of the habit.
Farage is playing to an audience who will support him irrespective. Plus those who will pay and make calls 'to teach him a lesson'.
Im not intending to watch***
*** may change mind if he suffers a blood curdling injury and/or gets a cockroach lodged in his urethra and suffers unspeakable pain before being hung off helicopter from a 120metre rope which is flying at 100 metres above the jungle

We were the same, and it was fun when it was Tony Blackburn or Fatima Whitbread etc.
Farage is not a celebrity, and I believe the country is in a mess now because of the cult of celebrity. Voters voting for their favourite type of politician rather than the actual policies.
I got votes through the app rather than paying for phone calls, but that also involved advertising. I am deleting the app but will try to find the advertisers so that I can try to boycott their products.

I'll be watching. Not much else doing on the cold wintry nights, there's usually something on it to be amused by.
As with all these type of shows though, I simply cannot get my head round how anyone can actually be ARSED to vote on them, whether it be via phone or app. I've never been remotely tempted to "partake" (although I appreciate that without it, there's no show).
The one eviction I can recall actually being annoyed by is when the Boneheads of Britain (C) got Chris Eubank eliminated 3rd or 4th a few years back. He was the one truly interesting contender in there with plenty to say. But no, lets keep complete nonentities like George Shelley and Ferne McCann in there instead.
Who ? Exactly.

He was a MEP though (although I don't consider them to be proper politicians, but some might). However the rest of your analysis is spot on.It is probably worth noting that Farage is NOT a politician. He's not elected to parliament or any council. He's on a par with Yaxley-Lennon. He's a pundit. A gobshite. A grifter. A plum. A shyster. A Miggy Almirón lookalikee. A national disgrace. A carpetbagger. Need I go on?

My wife loves this program and thinks its the best thing on telly (only reality program she watches to be fair) I normally watch out of the corner of my eye while reading NSC or similar but as this twunt is on I will actually retire to the bedroom to read my Richard Osman book as I cant stand even hearing his voice. the concept of him winning it makes me go cold.

And from his period as a member of the EU Parliament, for which he did little work at all, he will get an annual pension of £73k when he reaches the age of 63. There clearly is no God.
