No, i can't fo all of the reasons you mention bar the film. That people still think this will go ahead baffles me...when hollywood is struggling for cash (believe it or not) do you think a film like this would be top of a producers list?

Unfortunately, cant see it happening. And if it does, do we think league will feature much? i doubt it, wouldn't be surprised if they even tweeked it to NFL or something

Well he mentioned it as part of his entrance video, so maybe he knows more than you about it??

It wouldn't have killed him to say he played rugby league for Wales too.

Maybe it's the easy money route he wants to go down. (can't say I blame him)

Wouldn't surprise me to see him in the jungle or on Strictly Come Dancing later in the year.

He tweets suggested he would end up on one of these programmes, but this really is the bottom of the barrel. At least on the jungle, though eating bugs and the like, you end up being able to improve your standing in the world of celebrity. That Strictly and the ice dancing ones would be the best to help his post-playing career. This is just full of non-entities.

(Of course, this means I watched it last night. All the good work Thomas has made in coming out and being gay and playing rugby was pretty much written off by the presenter saying how he's like to be in the middle of a load of rugby players.)

I'd say we were, yeah.

Cant think which is more sad,,Gareth for going on the programme.or the the people who watch the rubbish.

A television programme too high brow for village idiots and Jeremy Kyle show audience members. Rendered even more irrelevant now it is on the dribbling imbecile of television, Richard Desmond's Channel 5, a channel most Sun readers think is too thick.

Good luck to him, hope he makes a load of money out of it but at this stage in the show's life he could allege that Richard Lewis was involved in an affair with Margaret Thatcher and no one of any note would ever find out or care.

There are 100,000 to 250,000 reasons, each with the Queen's head on them.

He might be there for as few as 10 days.

If he won, then he'd get lots of interview offers that would be much more than the appearance money.

As for publicity for RL, I think the media will see him as a former Rugby Union player. They might call him a former dual code player. Unless he stays involved in League (à la Jonathan Davies), then I fear his League days will be forgotten outside of the RL community.

I hope he doesn't mention our great sport on it.

I hate to take the 'moral high ground' when it comes to this kind of television and put people down, and it's something I have actively been biting my lip about recently (especially when people talk about 'Towie' or 'Desperate Scousewives'). However on this occasion I genuinely can't see how this programme benefits the human race, utter trash, and I hope our sport isn't dragged into the gutter along with the shameless money grabbing Thomas.

Might sound harsh but my views are my own.

What the hell is CBB. It better be epic or have a very very long title to deserve an abbreviation other wise I will consider the original poster a touch assumptive, lazy or a touch ish...

You are accusing someone else of being "a touch ish"?

Woah.

Have you tried "googling" Gareth Thomas and finding out what he has been involved in recently?

Go to the internet explorer icon. Then type in "www.google.co.uk" in the "address bar". Without the quotation marks.

In the box that comes up (the one below the google logo), type "Gareth Thomas CBB" and click the button marked Google Search. It will help you discover what he meant. The process will take you all of twenty seconds, and it's great for finding things out so I'd suggest remembering this for the future!

Hope this helps comrade!

Celebrity Big Brother.

I may be assumptive but considering it's one of the biggest programmes on TV at the minute I'm sure I can get away with the abbreviation.

'A touch tossrish' is a little harsh.

If people stop watching this utter crap then they will have to stop producing such utter crap. Come on folks do your bit.

Not harsh enough. Television like this is pure poison.

I don't watch this either, but I did when it started and my nephew and all his mates do now.
Like it or not, you have to accept, millions do still like it and they are all marketing targets.

Can't hurt.

Thanks for giving a perfect example of what ish means - so just typing Celebrity Big Brother in the original title wouldn't have been easier and less presumptive, give your head a shake and rattle that pea brain of yours around a bit.

Hence the

in my post, I always think smilies tend to indicate I didn't really mean it



I wouldn't say it was one of the biggest programmes on TV at the moment. Maybe if you are under 25 which sadly I'm not.

Quite right. We had a quiet weekend so I ended up sitting through it all (got to keep the Mrs happy, you understand).

I was literally speechless watching that fooking tool from TOWIE attempting the atlas quiz. They unveiled a world atlas and his first words were "is this Essex or the world, or what?". He couldn't place a pin in the USA. He couldn't find Australia, South Africa or Canada, amongst others. Seriously, how can anyone genuinely be that moronic? I also find it astounding that this is apparently acceptable and probably seen as cutely amusing. Genuinely shocked, and a little saddened.

To many of these 'role models' young people are aspiring to are in there for either having big boobs, having an affair or being stupid on a reality show. There are a couple with genuine talent but they're the less popular and glamorous few.

For all its media hype only a few hundred thousand more watch this to the challenge cup final

Corrected.

You calling anyone ish is like the pope calling someone catholicish.

Next time just ing google it you tiresome cretin.
