We live in strange times.
Right now, 10,000 miles away, on the set of a leading ITV entertainment show. I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!everything collapses: the participants leave, the audience riots – a glorious, albeit belated, reward.
Let’s not for a moment forget the ongoing disregard for animal and insect welfare that takes place during late-night production negotiations – which has prompted more than 17,000 complaints about the 2022 series, of which TV naturalist Chris Packham’s voice is one of the loudest: – Puck for a moment and instead focus on the celebrities themselves. Things don’t seem to be going so well for them.
Earlier this week, journalist and food writer Grace Dent resigned due to mental health reasons. “I’m devastated,” she said. Her departure was a shame because this show was essentially about the lead role. Lord of the Flies With the addition of tabloid fireworks, someone needs just enough meta to raise an eyebrow while everyone else fights for screen time. Singer Britney’s sister Jamie Lynn Spears yesterday hounded Dent over her mental health after spending much of the past week crying about how much she missed her children.
You could tell they both knew exactly what they were getting into and were perhaps a little homesick considering the good salaries they were getting. But then moral torture is all show reason for existence a concerted effort to confuse and confuse participants. It deprives them of food, sleep and warmth, and then turns them against each other, encouraging competition, ideally through nightly shouting matches around the fire. They have to eat balls and asses to the delight of millions of viewers, and if they puke, so much the better.
I’m a celebrity Of course, this has always been the case. In 2004, Natalie Appleton from All Saints took part. After she unwisely admitted that she was afraid of many things found in the bushes, viewers reacted by voting for her to pass every challenge until she felt forced to leave, while most of their marbles were scattered throughout four winds. Also in 2004, Diana, the Princess of Wales’s former butler Paul Burrell, panicked after being buried alive while the numerous insects beneath him were not so lucky.
The Romans emerged from this public humiliation. Not us, yet.
We tuned in and millions of us loved it. However, recent events are more difficult to digest. Based on the well-founded assumption that we are tired of all the soap stars and TV presenters, producers are now feeding us disgraced politicians. If Stanley Johnson was just an afterthought at the circus in 2017, then Matt Hancock’s latest performance was something else entirely.
A former MP whose actions and behavior during the coronavirus pandemic are said to have contributed to a large number of deaths that could have otherwise been prevented has been named as one of the top three finalists in 2022. He received a £400,000 fee last year and has now been reborn as a reality TV star. It seems – what is the word here? – unfair.
And now we have Nigel Farage, wearing Union Jack socks, grabbing his camera and swimming around in it like the proud Englishman he is. This is a man who has worked hard to incite hatred, spread misinformation and position himself as the most controversial politician since Enoch Powell. He will be paid £1.5 million and now believes he has a chance to become the next Conservative leader, not least because “we” can watch him every night at 9pm on ITV. . Earlier this week we saw him shower naked; We’ll soon see him teasing Ant and December.
At what point do we snap out of this fever dream? When will we say enough?
