Celebrity Juice

Started fantastic with good guests... gino was brilliant with fred but the newer captains have been sterile and unfunny... its lost its charm

The show is quite simple...Swear as crude as possible and reference sex as much as you can, whilst referencing women as sex objects!

It is probably one of the last shows on TV that has an undertone of sexual exploitation to it, which in partly is due to the fact it uses bodily humour as much as sexual humour, to be specific, if it was just demeaning to women it would have been canned a long time ago!

Sadly it has just become a show for C lister celebs to try and garner some attention, usually when having something to 'plug', and the humour element is now tired and dated. I often think that the show would be better suited as a chat show format, as the quiz element has long gone and the majority of challenges are now just tired, dated and unfunny.

Keith Lemon, as he likes to be called, does have a naturally funny style of questioning and as such could be probably do better trying something new, before he is eclipsed by funnier people with a fresher format of TV.

Celebrity Juice is a quiz-com of sorts with A-Z Listers (usually comedians and pop stars) filling the seats of the panel and hosted by Keith Lemon (an alter ego of the comedian Leigh Francis. Games consist of macabre requests designed to make the panel feel stupid, ugly or uncomfortable for the audience's pleasure. Sure, the experience isn't for everyone and can at times be somewhat puerile but if you know who Keith Lemon is already you'll know whether the show is for you or not. Some episodes are funnier than others but that's the nature of unscripted TV.

My favourite game has to be the one where Ant and Dec are put in a box and asked to feel around and guess what the item is. Google it, it's an absolute riot and my cheeks genuinely hurt from laughing when I first watched it.

The quality of Celebrity Juice varies depending on who the guests are and the games that are played. However, even during the worst episodes, I am still entertained. No other show has had me in tears from laughter with my cheeks hurting from smiling as much as Celebrity Juice. This show is extremely lewd. If you don't like low brow comedy, stay away.

The concept was good and the guests were very funny (This episode had Al Murray, Holly Valance and a few others I have never heard of before), but the "host" was a tool. It started off like an English version of the Aussie TV show 'Good News Week' and I thought it might have had a bit of potential, but after watching one episode I just wanted to gouge my eyes out and wear headphones playing white noise at high volume! He was not funny and the show seemed to revolve around his antics, yelling and stupid voices that just had me staring in disbelief. I do understand that the host is obviously playing some sort of character but it did not make it any funnier, perhaps if he was just being normal it would have had more appeal to me.

With a different host this show would be a lot better. It is clearly popular in the UK as it has survived for 8 seasons now, but I cannot get past the host, he just grates on me too much. I can see why channel seven (Aussie local station) ran it so late at night.

I have no intentions of watching another episode, I would rather be water boarded.

Sorry to the fans of this show, to which there seem to be many, but to me the host ruined too much!
