The Worst TV Show Ever Made?

File Princess Nikki under "How not to stretch a rather feeble concept into a six part series." Everyone involved in this programme, should feel as utterly ashamed as I do for watching it.

How Channel 4 bosses must have thought they were onto a winner when they signed Nikki, after her original mass worship exit. And how they must have cried after she ruined it all by going back in the BB house and proving what a wretched monstrosity she had become. The look on her face when Davina calls her name out and her subsequent mass-booing eviction was Reality TV justice at its best. You think E4 might have spared us all and pulled the show or put it on at the graveyard shift. But no, the show gets a comfy 10pm slot. Which means more airtime for Nikki, which sends out a great message to the younger BB audience. The more petulant, bitchy and rude you are, the more you are rewarded.

So we now get to see Nikki destroying a hotel's reputation right in front of the owner, Nikki pretending to throw up on a fisherman's boat, and Nikki refusing to work in a chip shop unless she gets some bottled water. Television at its best, I'm sure you'll agree. The only satisfying part of the show was when the rather scary chip shop owner said to her face what the whole nation is thinking. That she was "absolutely terrible", "arrogant" and "up her own arse." Brilliant. If it was up to me, I'd give the scary chip-shop owner her own show instead, where she could follow around wannabe Z-list BB losers like Mikey, Grace and Sezer and tell them exactly what she thinks of them.
