Is anyone else watching Whale Wars? It's about a group of eco warriors with a boat that go round trying to disrupt the Japanese whaling fleet. It's a very noble cause I respect them for what they're doing but they just seem a little clueless which makes for compelling viewing. All they seem to do is cause damage to their own equipment or injure themselves. It's quite entertaining

yes, i have a fondness for patnerity shows.

I am 100% sure he is the father, there could be NO ONE ELSE.

oh, well maybe i forgot the man i shagged the week before

Actually, Loraiine Kelly had a good one, DNA stories on Sky real lives, bit more upmarket but it was all about familiies and whetehr someone was the father or not - some nice stories there.

Livings: 4 weddings is quite entertaining.

Thanks, I saw the name but didn't know what it was about. Reminds me of that clip of Hayden Panintierre (sp?) bawling after a japanese anti-whale hunt trip.

FWIW, Sky Real Lives are showing TBL AU2 Mon-Thu, presumably it starts this coming Monday.

Anyone watching Reality Hell? It's like a different Joe Schmo every week. EP1 was a modelling ep,Ep2 was a Wife Swap ep and Ep3 was a romance which was very similar to Joe Schmo 2. The first two were so-so but ep3 was great. I loved the girl that was the victim and can you get a better line that "She's not going to give you her vagina!" ?

oh now the colony sounds interesting, no idea if i have discovery, i don't have the "animal" package on sky.

will add reality hell.

Managed to catch the last ep of Tina Tequlia, a shot of love, where she chooses between the man and the woman and who to date, which was good fun.

Only watching make me a supermodel now, (US). and god, jonathan the british builder is HOT (richie, i'd watch this one if i were you). Lots of male models in their calvin kleins each week. which is nice.

Hm: colony is discovery US, not uk,

Yeah the Colony is pretty good. Most of the stuff Discovery do doesn't appeal to me, like that Alaska one but The Colony is watchable, but I wouldn't say it's must see tv.

No I wouldn't call it must see tv either but I do like watching it. Not sure how much is played up for the cameras, but eating the rats this week was pretty gross

The Colony finished this week. Pretty good stuff overall. I like how involved everyone seemed, it was real to them. My only critism is they were a little to cynical towards other survivors. You'd think in real life they'd be shocked and overjoyed at finding other survivors, not sending them on their way.

I just noticed Tabatha's Salon Takeover is on Sky Anytime (and The Style Network), it's pretty much Kitchen Nightmares with a shouty sweary australian woman but in a beauty parlour rather than a restaurant. If you like KN you'll like this

I've become addicted to Coach Trip (Channel 4, 5PM every weekday).
Nearing the end of series 4 (two weeks to go) - some good characters/locations and tour guide Brendan is a real star.

i am finding "the hills" strangely watchable. Even though scenes were created for entertainment purposes

may have to see if the Hills is on some channel as whitney seems to be he nicest character on the hills and thats her spin off.

Last Comic Standing was back last night. Was originally cancelled but it looks like they've brought it back for a 7th series. Definitely worth a look if you're into stand-up.

I didn't think they'd do a second series of The Colony, but they have and it started this week in the US. This time they're in part of Louisiana that was destroyed by Katrina. They're facing a pandemic virus outbreak too.

Also something called Plain Jane where they take some beautiful girl and give her a make over. In ep1 they're trying to transform her so she can tell her friend of 6 years how she really feels about him
