Celebrity shows not slowing down!


The latest in a long line of Celebrity reality TV shows is Cirque de Celebrite and I only just started to watch it this weekend. I'm quite pleasantly surprised that this isn't just a chance for these z-list 'celebrities' to get their 15 minutes of fame to get back into the limelight (although it does get us talking about them again!) but it actually looks as though they have to work pretty hard to keep their dignity and stay in the show. Not only do they put these 'celebrities' through their paces by getting them to do pretty difficult stunts, they also risk hurting themselves severely! I watched last weeks show on a repeat and saw two of them attempting a routine with Argentinean weapons, and they weren't allowed to train without wearing head and eye protection. However, they weren't allowed to wear them on the live show! I thought great, some injuries on live TV where they can't hide, but they managed to pull it off! The star of the show has to be Grace from Big Brother who has the added advantage of being a dancer, so she's fit and can move her body well. I'm also quite surprised how well she's coming off to the crowd after her 'get Grace out' days this Summer. The bad guy is proving to be Sophie Anderton purely because she's not training as much as the others, but Grace is working so hard, and you can definitely tell when last week she was on a 5 foot unicycle pretty much being able to cycle without help (except for turns) without falling at all, and Kenzie was on a normal sized one having to be lead around the entire time like a dog on a leash! So, mad props to my girl Grace (who might I add I liked in the Big Brother house!) and I'm gonna keep watching to see if she wins, oh, and to see if someone gets really hurt too!
