Now, call this a case of the pot calling the kettle black, because reality shows are aimed toward my demographic. Some I watch out of curiosity, like Love Island, others I am just baffled and avoid like the plague.

The basic premise of this show is that it revolves around a bunch of shallow teenage girls who ended up getting pregnant and becoming celebrities. That's it. Honestly, how this show even got to air is absolutely beyond me. You hear stories that reality shows promote bad messages to young people and you see them struggling with mental health and body image. What message is this sending out: "Girls, if you want to REALLY become famous, get pregnant by a scumbag and you'll be golden!" Yeah, that's the way to do it. Much to the detriment of your social life and education.

And what will happen to them when their five minutes of unwarranted fame are over and their boyfriend runs off with the next floozy he comes across? You know, the one he met behind the KFC that closed down due to food poisoning.

And I doubt these girls are good role models to their children. I bet they just parade them around like those dogs in handbags before dumping them on their smackhead parents and going off to party with their shallow mates.

In short, this show must be immediately cancelled and consigned to the history books.

It seems that nowadays, that TV shows have to have celebrities on it doing stuff. Be it dancing (Strictly), cooking (Masterchef) or being dumped in the jungle to munch on crocodile privates (I'm A Celebrity). This is no exception.

So, here's the point of this show. It's hosted by Iain Stirling (voice of Love Island), so, good start. And the concept itself, is interesting; finding the hidden talents of "celebrities" (I say that, most of them aren't exactly the same calibre as Beyonce or Tom Cruise), which again sounds like an interesting concept; however, it's a good concept with bad execution.

The celebrities have to take part in these mad challenges, hosted by comedian Marek Lorwood, quite possibly one of the most annoying people I have seen on television; he has this bloodcurdling, lispy voice and-pardon me for sounding offensive-dresses up like a Down's Syndrome schoolboy.

The basic point of this; it's just one of a slew of game shows that feature fifth-rate celebrities doing stuff. I don;t think this idea needs to be retired, but here's what an open letter to television would start like: Stop overdosing on Z-listers on TV and think of something original!

Was this show really warranted? It just goes to prove how LAZY television has gotten, when they get a bunch of "celebrities" (I say that, they're hardly of the same calibre as Tom Cruise or Katy Perry) to do stuff on TV, like dancing or cooking or being dumped in the jungle to munch down on kangaroo gonads. But this, this is on a whole different level.

So, the premise of the show is this. Get a bunch of B-grade celebrities and make them work on a farm for like a few weeks. And that's it. Honestly, it makes the equally terrible show Flockstars look like quality TV!

Like I mentioned above, the go-to show for TV these days seems to be those which involve making quasi-celebrities do stuff. However, this format is finite and there's only so many things you can do with it, before you start to run out of ideas. What next, celebrities sitting on the toilet?
