Great stuff! This is what reality shows should be about, exposing attention whores for what they are by pulling the rug from under them. I'm not sure how they think they can win the lawsuit.

Fascinating.
As Jed Clampett would say, there's a "heapin helpin of some socey-olo-gy" in that story.
Ya gotcher legally binding, waivers issues.
Ya gotcher fame at any cost issues.
Ya gotcher expanding acceptance of transgressive sexual definitions.
Ya gotcher shock entertainment issues.
Ya gotcher heterosexual male rage.
If they could only find a way to make Miriam a direct descendent of the union between Jesus' wife and Mohammad, they'd almost have the entirety of modern culture wrapped in g-string.

In that twist, that's a great idea, but in that manner? It's funny but disgusting too. One of the contestants was a Royal Marine. I suppose they're like a US Marine and if they are, I'm surprised Miriam wasn't killed.

I suppose they're like a US Marine and if they are, I'm surprised Miriam wasn't killed. It could be because murder is a crime in Britain. I don't know, I'm just guessing here.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that reality TV exposes the attention whores. Whenever I get the stomach to watch them, it's funny to see how shallow and dumb some of these people are. In this case of Miriam, their machismo was slammed. Still it's disgusting in that manner, but to each their own.
