Sunday Night's TV (15/1/06)

Before reviewing the evermore captivating CBB, did anyone else see Dancing on Ice on Saturday night? The most absurd, most insane bit of reality TV I have ever clapped eyes on, celebrities risked breaking their necks for a piece of glorious primetime programming. This is the sort of commitment I expect from my celebs. What possible use is Tamara Beckwith if she's not attempting to perform triple axle toeloops for my entertainment? I can forgive her for being a useless, toffee-nosed inconsequence in the past, she is redeemed. 'It Girls' take note - if you actually attempted to master a skill, you might be able to forego filling your empty lives with designer drugs and save an awful lot of money on rehab.
CBB goes from strength to strength as the most unlikely political coalition ever - George Galloway and Pete Burns - gossiped together in the toilet about imaginary problems in the house. Galloway is giving new meaning, or rather, the old meaning back, to the term 'politician' -dissimulating, conspiring, manipulating - he's a Machiavelli for the Millennium. And Pete's becoming his puppet. BB is aware of this and tried to drive a wedge between the cunning foxes by telling Pete that he could trade George's cigars to obtain cigarettes, but only succeeded in causing a rift between Galloway and Barrymore. Maybe this particular indenture tripartite is finally coming to an end. I hope so. Meanwhile, for those of you with sentimental leanings, a couple are falling in love in front of our very eyes. Chantelle and Preston are utterly gorgeous; constantly brushing hands, looking at each other when they think the other one's looking away, giggling.....Preston came out with the classic giveaway last night, "I LOVE the way you say that", following a suitably inane comment from Chantelle. Despite feeling a bit sorry for his girlfriend, it's totally heartwarming, and the best thing is, they haven't even fully comprehended what's going on between them. 1,2,3, Aaaaaah. I'm not being sarky. Former England goalies attempting to ice dance, and the merging of Prestelle and Chanton are the most moving TV moments since Amber the cheetah found her lost cub on Big Cat Diary. Go on everyone, fill your hearts with love!!!

Imagine if Preston & Paris Travelodge had a baby. How small would its head be? I'm guessing it would look like a hairless marmoset.

But then Paris would buy babby some cheap, plasticky hair extensions to add some volume. If they conceive the child in the house, will they call it Bow?
