Fame Academy

[Gstar]

Apologies if there's already been a thread on this (probably has)

Who remembers this epic show? It was a singing competition but had an element of big brother to it with the live feed and that.

It was about 13 finalists who performed every week and the 3 acts with the lowest amount of votes were in the bottom 3, the judges were allowed to save one of them and for the remaining two their fate was in the rest of the contestants hands who were safe. They used to be woken up early in the morning to go to the hall and have fitness sessions, it was like a boot camp as well as a competition and the live feed made it all so amazing.

Series 1 was won by David Sneddon. Lemar came 3rd in this series and went on to be 10x more successful than David anyway, also people used to call him the real winner of that series

Series 2 was won by Alex Parks, everything about this series I just loved, I was hooked from beginning - end. This series had Carolynne, Louise, Peter, Allistair, Paris, Simone etc.

If they bring this show back I'll be the happiest human being ever

Absolutely loved it, first reality show/competition I watched so it will always hold a place in my heart. Can't believe it didn't carry on because it was just brilliant, in a way I even preferred it to Big Brother.

Lemar >>>> anyone that has come from X Factor or any other similar show

[Kizzy]

the house in london is like a 2 min walk from my house, used to have so many guards and stuff

[Black Dagger]

I want it to return, it was like Big Brother meets a talent show, was so flawless. <3

If The Voice is dreadful next year, they should just bring it back, it's a success story in the US, here it was a fun new project, but flopped a bit =(.

I loved it, the BB aspect made it much more than just a talent show, you really got to know them. Sinead Quinn, Lemar and Ainslie were my faves from series one. Lemar should have won.

Series two had the amazing Carolynne, and Alistair Griffin. They were my top two, much preferred them to Alex Parks. Alistairs'comedy impressions were hilarious.

I loved it. And this show is the reason I wish they'd stick cameras in the X Factor house and give us live feed on the red button and on ITV2.

That would have gave us a much wider knowledge on 'Misha Bully'
