10 weeks? Do they think they can keep people interested for that long? I was bored after 3 weeks last year.

Re: Liza Tarbuck - it's been confirmed in the same way Denise Van Outen was "confirmed" earlier this year, and more recently, Rachel Hunter.


Every bit of news I here about Love Island just shows how desperate they are - almost everything quotes producers referring to it working previously for Big Brother.

At least the team working on Big Brother can be proud they work on something that is original and commissioned on merit. I think the fact ITV haven't sold the Love Island format to any other countries says everything that's needed to be said actually!

Although the confirmation comes from ITV themselves this time, not The Sun.

It has actually been sold to the US, debuting on the new Fox TV network in September.

I agree, ITV show pure desperation as far as Celebrity Enough Island is concerned. Mad They never learn do they.

That says it all then!

Why would Fox want it when they have the far superior trashy but addictive Paradise Hotel which they could resurrect?

Has it already been mentioned that Gilian McKeith is tipped to be on this show? Should be good...''Food Glorious Food....''

I agree. The team working on Big Brother should be immensely proud. I wish I could claim I was the one who thought up that box sitting task. Can you imagine having that at the top of your CV? Rolling Eyes

'Big Brother' was "orginal" six years ago. But Todays 'Big Brother' - which consists of fat sl*ags w*nking with a bottles and people sitting in boxes - is no more/no less desperate and pathetic then the idea putting 10 zelebrities on an island and hoping they have sex.

They can be proud - they made something that shouldn't work a classic piece of reality TV. More thought and effort went into that than the spelling challenge thing they had on Love Island!

Well you would stick up for Big Brother wouldnt you. However I think overrated and not very original. I also think ITV's Celebrity reality shows are the same.

I'd stick up for Big Brother against Celeb Trash Island anyday.
