What with Big Brother being such a hit these days, especially with ukjason of course, it got me thinking.
My roomate, who is a Brit, insisted on watching Hell's Kitchen last night. For those of you who are "allergic" to TV, it's a show where 2 teams of wannabe chefs compete, with an eventual individual winner to win a restaurant in a Vegas casino to live happily ever after. But the host is a drill seargent-esque chef who screams at everone, with a British accent. It's actually kinda funny.
As the commercials for the other reality TV shows yammer on: The dancing one, the signing one, the other singing one, the nanny one, etc... It occurs to me. Every single one of them has a Brit sh!itting on the contestants.
I realise (note the 's') that we have the Brits to thank for this slow reality marination that we now have to enjoy, but is a Brit host a required part of the recipe? I think so. There's just something a little more prickish about an insult when it's said with an British accent.
Just an observation. As you were, you donkeys!
