What annoys you the most ? - Page 23

The Apprentice, Dragons Den.

Not the people in it in this case (thats a seperate issue altogether!!!)

But the really nut chewingly annoying false tension they use in the show. Those annoying pauses with that crap music.

Such editing works fine in Star trek or CSI or Spooks but not for some two-bit reality show filled with pig ignorant shisters.

The only tension it generates for me is to throw large objects at the screen, coal scuttle, plate of chips or the family dog.

Hateful.

The older I get the more annoying I find everything for instance the poster above for not posting a picture including the bottom half of this bird!

and just about every other post made in this thread, but the most truly annoying thing is people getting annoyed at everything and everyone else, a bunch of moaning old farts the lot of ya and I even include myself in the MOF brigade.

Ever since I turned 40 I seem to get pissed off with just about everything and everyone, suffering from road rage to trolley rage in the supermarket, (covertly of course cos I am to much of a wimp to get int to a fight) of course it always everyone else's fault! Maybe we all need to look inwardly to avoid getting annoyed in the first place? I have decided to adopt a calm state of mind when ever I feel myself getting annoyed, this would work if it wasn't so annoying trying to control my emotions.

I do think The Apprentice and Dragon's Den crowd are absolute amateurs when it comes to creating false tension. My vote goes for so-called "dangerous" activites involving the general public.

Step forward the makers of "Extreme Dreams"!

Now, Ben Fogle seems like a nice chappie ... jolly explorer and all that ... but PLEASE! Are we supposed to believe that he's taking a bunch of thick, lazy, overweight, unfit muppets on some DANGEROUS expedition? I caught part of one programme, and I genuinely thought it was a spoof, so laughed along with it ... until I realised our intrepid Mr Fogle was attempting to be serious, at which point I pissed myself laughing even more.

Picture the scene. A precipitous path (slight incline) up a mountain. The light is fading. Ben is wrapped up like an Egyptian mummy and is looking worried. "One of the team has found it a struggle and we've had to slow down to their pace" (That would be the fat git who looks as though he'd suffer a coronary if he had to climb the stairs ... and you're SUPRISED he's been struggling?) "It's getting late and we don't think we'll make it to camp before dark." (Didn't plan on the fat guy going slowly, then?) "It's also blowing a gale, raining hard and the temperature has plummeted to minus ten." (So, why is the light drizzle we can see in front of you falling straight down, Ben? Is it special "adventurers' drizzle" that's unaffected by a "gale"? Strange thing that it's so cold and we can't see anyone's breath!). "We don't have any lights." (Great planning! Didn't think to bring a bloody torch! Hang on ... how about the lights the camera team are lugging up the mountain? You know, the ones we'll see later on?")

The thing is, Ben. IF it was as dangerous as you say, the entire production team and your good self should be taken somewhere and shot for risking peoples lives due to poor planning and a total disregard for safety issues.

... but it's not REALLY that dangerous, is it Ben? You just think that everyone os so pig-thick that they'll be on the edge of their seats, waiting to see if the team will survive, when in actual fact, we're all rolling around on the carpet pissing ourselves with laughter.

... and don't get me started on "Animal Park"!

"Oooh, it's really dangerous getting this close to the big cats!"

Why? Do you think they're suddenly going to break out the oxy-acetylene cutting equipment and come at you through the bars, you muppet????

but this is how TV works.. reality tv is anything but reality
drama has to tick the right boxes
news depends on the availability of the pictures

**anklebiter** · June 28th, 2009, 12:12 AM

You know what annoys me? Poop! I d'loaded a rar of pics of one of my favorite models, and her ass was dirty.
Come on ladies, is it really that hard to wipe your butt before a photo shoot?

This isn't an isolated incident, I've seen it before.First shower, then pose.We're not all endeared by scat!

You’d have to dredge a lot of cesspits to find a smarmier shit than this professional mooch , who`s best known for being the son of Best and going that extra mile to give the male population the universal tag of “Slime bags “. Can`t stand seeing his slacker face or hearing his lounge lizard drawl , in fact i`d quite enjoy punching that face until my hands broke off then ramming the stumps down his throat . Nothing personal against the guy mind

You're right bawjaws ... "reality TV" is anything BUT reality, and that's what annoys me.

If it had been a bunch of Army guys who actually knew what they were doing, it would have been described as a "documentary". Reality TV programmes are simply documentaries featuring the inept, designed to entertain the hard-of-thinking.

Which got ME thinking ... what would be the worst possible combination of features in a TV show?

A so-called "reality" show ... a banal voice-over trying to make it sound exciting ... a bunch of hateful, desperate non-entities ... a loathsome presenter ... wall-to-wall coverage in the media etc.

... but of course, they've already done "Celebrity Big Brother"!

Following on from jch48's post.
I hate when I park my car in a supermarket only to return and find I've got a chelsea tractor parked either side of me totally obscuring a proper view as I reverse slowly out. I'd like to see those carpark barriers used to chop two feet off the top of those monstrous wastes of metal or for them to have their own special parking areas so they can annoy each other.

... and still on the subject of TV (sorry ... it's this humid weather. I get very grumpy!) what is it with these "magazine" programmes where they start off talking about one thing, get half-way through it, then tell you that they'll come back to it later? They then talk about something ELSE, get half-way through THAT, and guess what ... they'll come back to it later! When they DO eventually get round to showing the next bit, they THEN spend ages telling you what happened earlier! And so it goes on, finishing with a review of what they'll be talking about in next week's show! If you edited out the "what's coming up" and "here's what happened earlier" bits, your average half hour programme would probably run for ten minutes!

... but I suppose that's the point! They've got naff-all of any real interest to talk about, so they pad it out.
