1420401 2016-05-12 22:33:00 Stuff are way overboard with this crap, counted 19 headlines in the Entertainment section yesterday. Mediaworks must be paying big bucks for this much coverage. People need to get a clue that the clowns on the show were following the script. Renegade (16270)
1420402 2016-05-12 22:56:00 No more newsworthy that sports 'news' . Look at all the news time given over to sports . No more newsworthy than local interest (feelgood) stories

They realize its all about entertainment. The market for pure news is far too small , and there are places to go to get pure news, but few go there .

True NZ too small, or isolated, politically stable, or whatever for newsworthy items. - No mass school shootings, no bumbling billionnaires, influential benefactors, NZ scandalous govt departments, (like recent "Fat Leonard" corrupt US Navy (www.rt.com)). Seemingly trying to make news out off almost anything that seems popular abroad, like the aforementioned reality type show. Perhaps NZ too stable, non dynamic for anything newsworthy to happen...

I think I might date 12 girls and pick one of them what do you guys think? :D

1420404 2016-05-12 23:44:00 So the majority of Kiwis are thick, like the millions of Trump followers in the USA?

:(

thats a rather below av, knee jerk response. Perhaps a mirror :)

extreme right wing does not mean thick
wanting entertainment,or gossip, via whatever medium, does not make you thick

I could make the same argument for ALL fiction, TV books etc
I dont know why people get so upset about entertainment , thats all it is . Of course reality TV is fiction, so what . :)
Some people need to relax & have fun , dont be so serious .

I'm sorry but a 'game show' where you get to 'pick a girlfriend' with the relationship ending 72 hours after the show finishes is not entertainment .

TV shows/books are stories . . . have plots . . . are actually interesting .

TV shows/books are stories... have plots... are actually interesting.

That's debatable. As drivelly and dumbing down that "reality" shows are.....scripted - that is, fiction shows, can be equally as likely to dumb their audience down. Sharknado anyone? Its all a matter of what you're into.

And who is anyone to cast aspersions on what someone else may call entertainment?
