Alex Reid wins Big Brother!

The winner of the last Celebrity Big Brother was announced on Friday night! Much to my surprise Alex Reid was the victor! I would have loved Dane Bowers to win and I have always loved him since his Another Level days and even some of the presenting he did was great. I hope he gets a lot of work out of this because he really deserves it! I would defintely buy his cookbook!

Alex Reid however, was not my favourite housemate but to be fair to him he was, as the other housemates called him, a "loveable pratt". Some of the things he said were totally ridiculous "Who is Alex Reid?" and kept talking about himself in the third person which is terribly annoying! Watching him getting dragged into Stephen Baldwin's bible bashing nonsense and getting the piss taken out of him by Vinnie was hilarious and he did win people over because he is a nice guy. As soon as he mentioned Jordan's name in the final interview the boos got louder and louder. Finny thing is...she seems to pick really nice guys..Dane Bowyers, Peter Andre and Alex Reid (Lets forget Dwight York) but what I want to know is, How the hell does she do it?

I have loved Celebrity Big Brother this year although last year was probably a little funnier with the drunk Verne Troyer driving his scooter into the diary room door (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFIEcCM7NVM). This year was more calm and depended more on Vinnie and Dane and their locker room banter...quality put downs and sarky comments are much more my thing...lol

Anyway, I am sad that it is over! I really hope Dane works, Sisqo comes back out with Thing Song 2 and Alex Reid dumps Jordan but we will have to wait and see.

Stars Falling from the Sky

Most of my friends know that I am an avid TV watcher and that I love Asian Dramas too! So, here is one of the new Korean Dramas that I am watching (I have a few on the go at the moment (Iris, Loving you a Thousand Times)

Korean Dramas are usually very similar in terms of their story-lines. There is always a love triangle, evil mother type, ditzy female lead, family problems, angry man who falls in love with the lead and changes into a caring boyfriend, poor kissing scenes (only closed mouths???), rich benefactor and cute kids! The only differences will be the overall setting, actors and main story.

This drama is one of the most heart wrenching dramas I have watched. Although most of the typical drama points are being adhered to there are a few differences. Firstly rather than a love triangle it is developing into more of a square as there are 3 male love interests for the female lead being lined up. Another main difference is the quality of the child actors...they are immense! Having these young children (4 of them) convey the pain of their situation (dead parents, no home, no money, trying to survive with their useless older sister trying to take care of them) seems difficult but they pull it off with ease taking me with them into my box of kleenex. I am a sucker for a good crying scene, I even cry when I watch Jeremy Kyle...but still. The kids have skills!

The lead male character Lawyer Kang Ho is gorgeous which helps and his brother and nephew are instantly lovable as their kindness towards the downcast family starts to show. The ditzy female lead is very irritating at times with her incessant babbling and selfishness, and her inability to do her job which she gets fired from and has to beg to get back. Luckily as the story is unfolding she is starting to redeem herself.

Episode 6 has just aired and this drama will probably last between 13-20 episodes so I will be patient and wait for the rest of the story to fill out. (Asian dramas are never as long as British soaps. They are lucky to get a second season!)

I'm guessing though that the heartless lawyer will fall for the ditzy female lead but they probably won't get together until the last scene, she will find out that she is the heir to the company that she had been fired from and all those who were evil to her will get the shock of their lives.

I'll wait and see....

Response from Channel 4

Dear Ms Muldoon,

Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries.

This 7-part series follows on from our series CHRISTIANITY: A History which
was screened earlier this year on Channel 4. The series will explore the
history of The Bible drawing on the thoughts and experiences of seven
different contributors from very different backgrounds. In the series, Gerry
Adams will examine the life of Jesus.

From his perspective as a leading figure in the Irish Republican movement
throughout years of sectarian conflict and the subsequent peace process, and
as a former supporter of political violence, Adams will explore the
contradiction between Jesus' teachings and the involvement of Christians,
and followers of other faiths, in conflict the world over.

As part of the programme, he will be confronted by those who oppose his
views and will meet victims of violence from both sides of the sectarian
divide in Northern Ireland.

While we understand some viewers will have reservations about Adams'
inclusion in the series, we hope they will reserve judgement for the
programme.

Nevertheless, please be assured that your comments have been noted and
logged for the information of those responsible for our programming.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate all
feedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise.

Regards,
Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries


I understand their position but I will not be watching this documentary! Very quick response. I am sure they have had a few complaints already!
