Terrible<br />

Right look, I’m going<br />

to level with you, I don’t<br />

watch that much t.v, in fact<br />

I watch next to none, what<br />

with my aerial being broke<br />

and every time I turn my<br />

tv on to play ps4 I have to<br />

manually stop my tv from<br />

searching for analogue<br />

channels each time.<br />

So with this in mind you<br />

may find yourself asking<br />

“who do you think you<br />

are, thinking you’re all big<br />

and that making lists?”.<br />

Saying this though, have<br />

you ever sat on a Saturday<br />

night, perhaps a few<br />

days before pay day with<br />

a frozen pizza flicking<br />

mindlessly through the<br />

channels because there’s<br />

adverts on during yet<br />

another rerun of Top<br />

Gear on Dave and ended<br />

up watching X Factor or<br />

Britain’s Got Talent?<br />

Then you see something<br />

happen and think “What<br />

the hell is going on here”<br />

and find it mildly funny<br />

but realise Top Gear is<br />

back on and change back<br />

to it.<br />

Wait, forget all of that,<br />

back to what I’m actually<br />

doing here.<br />

I’m looking at the worst<br />

of tv so that’s basically Big<br />

Brother, news gaffes, X<br />

factor and Jeremy Kyle…<br />

guests.<br />

You know things that<br />

you see and think ‘what<br />

the hell were they doing,<br />

or thinking and should<br />

they seek help?’<br />

Christian Arcabowicz has trawled through the archives to bring you the best<br />

and worst moments of reality TV fails<br />

BBC, Great British Bake off<br />

First on our list is BinGate,<br />

quite literally the worst scandal<br />

to ever strike the nation -<br />

Britain’s WaterGate - just<br />

without a president resigning,<br />

10<br />

but almost as bad. The poor<br />

man had his space in fridge<br />

nicked and his Baked Alaska<br />

melted.<br />

Horrifying!<br />

This one’s quite cruel<br />

actually. Natalie Kills<br />

(pictured right) had<br />

a go at contestant<br />

Marcus Dibble about<br />

his dress sense. Yet<br />

the poor man only<br />

had a generic haircut,<br />

wore a generic suit and<br />

sung a generic song,<br />

yet he disgustingly<br />

stole a generic man’s<br />

style, (Willy Moon)<br />

as Natalie his almost<br />

famous wife pointed<br />

out in generic New<br />

Zealand X-factor<br />

style. She was then<br />

generically fired<br />

for it, along with<br />

her husband. Pretty<br />

generically shocking.<br />

New<br />

Zealand<br />

X-Factor<br />

channel 3<br />

9<br />

BBC,<br />

Jonathan<br />

Charles<br />

I feel like this one should be more<br />

of a lesson for most of us rather<br />

than something to be laughed at.<br />

A simple pause, a simple breath<br />

is all that was needed from<br />

Jonathan Charles when he read his<br />

introduction from the autocue.<br />

He managed to combine his own<br />

name with the first story informing<br />

the audience thta he ‘had kept<br />

himself hidden for almost two<br />

decades.’<br />

A bizarre claim for a news<br />

reader.<br />
