I caught this last night. It might be good. Too early to tell yet. It was nice to see BB6 on it though.

Seems there have been 3 women doing a secret contest to get on telly for made-up reasons. And, now, they are showing their video diaries to see who did the best job. It's basically about tricking the TV shows into having them on as guests etc. They have been doing their 'missions' for the last 6 months, unbeknownst to the TV folk or the public.

One of them, Chloe, managed to get herself onto BBLB by having a fake campaign to make Derek prime minister.

Another one got onto This Morning by pretending to have a "Lion Therapy" group for stressed out people to unwind!

And, one of them got a fake tattoo of Kelly Holmes on her back, and mispelt it 'Kelly Homes'. She got onto Sky News, and got a mention in various papers, and on the Jonathon Ross show. That was quite a good one.

The interesting thing about it is that you vaguely remember seeing them somewhere, but cant put your finger on where! I'm hoping as the show goes on, I will remember where I saw them. They obviously did a good job of tricking the media and the public, because I dont ever remember seeing someone on a show and thinking they were fraudsters.

Mind you, the amount of daft therapy groups, and gurus we get on our telly's these days, it's hardly surprising that we take all manner of stuff seriously is it? So many of them are deadly serious about something totally bizarre! And then of course, you get the professional nutjobs who will literally do anything to get on telly!

Anyway, it's only been on once, but it looks promising. I will keep you posted if it gets better :thumbs:

I watched this too - thought it was quite entertaining. The one who did the Derek for PM campaign managed to have a banner flown over the house.

Only Maxwell saw it though.

I wouldn't have watched it, but I was watching Tommy Lee goes to College (he's hot!), and never bothered to turn over when it went off. I'm glad though, it looks alright.
