Simple reason for TV showing the likes of BB & I'm a nonentity-get me out of here
It is cheap television- get a bunch of mugs, put them together & watch what happens & if something kicks off brill, sensationalism extreme, headlines in the scandal mags & its a hit!
The worst part is some members of society study hard at college & uni to get qualifications for around six years only to be userped by some gobby southerner flashing her bits on a TV chanell that just about scrapes a couple of million viewers, or maybe more when they rerun the naughty bits.
