The actual tragedy is that these shows have virtually taken over terrestrial tv if they're not dancing, their singing (or trying to), in a minute they will be skating, at present they are just plain boring (except of course for the inevitable arguing)and all done in the name of "Celebrity". Largely I would have to say, who are these people? Mainly has beens or never will bes with an unhealthy smattering of morons, but, the public watch the programmes (sometimes myself included) and this in the case of Jade Goody at any rate, creates seriously rich monsters. What signal does this give to our children or grandchildren. What exactly is she good at? She knows nothing, can barely speak and is now more wealthy than most normal mortals could ever dream of becoming and she didn't even have to buy a lottery ticket!Everyone pretends not to watch (including Simon it would seem) who presumably didn't watch it last year even though he made several postings in defence of Michael Barrymore who I am pretty sure was on the same show as Pete Burns and Jodie Marsh where as I said earlier, there was plenty of bullying going on but no-one cared because the victims were white. If no one is watching, why are these shows constantly on?
