More from the ABC, showing some of the dragged-up contestants:

Coincidentally I've written a book with the same name! "I Will Survive: Personal gay, lesbian, bisexual & transgender stories in Singapore". http://iwillsurvivesg.wordpress.com/

Doesn't this belong under "Gossip and Chat/Girl Talk"?

Another example of the hollow celebrity obsessed culture that's been created.

After researching your profile Ms Akersten, I can see why you think a trashy reality TV show promo is "News".

Don't be rude, Pointzer!

We have always been like this. It's human nature to gossip about others.

I'm happy to tell and retail gossip.

But I believe in the maxim that gossip will always tell you more about the person telling it than about the person being spoken about.

Im not going to take pot shots at others on this forum based on their television viewing preferences. But I will say this. If we are now at the depths of a reality show to find a drag queen, then even for me as a gay man, quality television has reached the absolute crumby bottom of the biscuit tin as far as Im concerned.

Thats said, compared to "The Shire", Im sure this show must look like an Emmy winning production. :LOL:

retail gossip?

Anyway my point is this the NEWS forum - gossip should go in the GOSSIP forum or Womens Lounge.
