So Called Celebrity Showx

[Amt239]

Don't know if anyone else is fed up but I am with all the shows made up of so called celebs,used to be able to watch some of the quiz shows with ordinary people on but not now,and to be honest I don't know most of these celebs.

quite right,in my day they were famous people what had earned that title, like sporting legends or great actors and actresses nowadays even holiday reps and people from essexs are called celebs.

This may sound obvious but it is not the law that you have to watch them.

 

You could watch something else instead. 😉

If you don't know them, just pretend they're ordinary people.

The difference is if the celebrities win any money it goes to the charity of their choice

Yes but do they get paid for giving it to charity?

But the questions are easier to the celebs.

Yes,  I've noticed that but they still manage to get plenty wrong.

Do you mean,  do they get paid for appearing on the programme, even though they are giving any winnings to charity ? That I don’t know.

I would imagine they do. Being on  TV is their job after all (in most cases).

Some do, some don’t. 

 

I would say that some of the ‘normal people’ who go on national TV quiz shows, do so simply to appear on television. If you have never heard of Shakespeare, think that the Battle of the Somme was during the Falklands War and don’t know who the Prime Minister is, you are certainly not going on the show because of your stunning general knowledge! 🙄
