No matter which country you're in, just don't bother trying out for a reality TV singing show. X-Factor, the British American Idol run by Simon Cowell, is currently having its auditions, and a reporter chronicled her experience. It's eerily similar to the experiences we posted in our expose about what it's like to try out for the first round of Idol auditions. Both shows are produced by Fremantle, and both shows employ the same tacicts such as treating the auditioners with little to no respect and cutting good singers with very little reasoning. So British readers, don't waste your time. It's the same shit, different country.
Oh come on now! After picking Speidi on "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here", the two soon quit the show once Heidi became ill and was rushed to the hospital. Then we pick Janice Dickinson. She was providing great entertainment, but now it seems she's been rushed to the hospital too. Either the show isn't taking good care of the celebrities or we're cursing them into getting hurt. Spooky. Janice, you can't leave too. Come on now!

The trainwrecks continue on The Early Show with Al Roker interviewing Heidi and Spencer now that they're off "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here". The highlight reel sums them up well, and they fire back at Al, who clearly doesn't want to interview them. These 2 provide year round entertainment, it's like having a Sanjaya in the tabloids. Loving it. VFTW Victory!
UPDATE: Heidi and Spencer released a statement about this, as we knew they would. Spencer asks, "I'm still trying to figure out, was the weatherman asking us questions?" and Heidi says, "I really would advise women especially to be careful around [Al Roker] because I feel like he definitely came and attacked me and I did not appreciate that at all." These two, so ridiculously awful!
After stealing a granola bar and pissing at camp, Janice Dickinson stays on the show and that moron Daniel Baldwin is voted out. VFTW Victory! Janice continues to entertain and make "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" great and we love her for it. As Daniel was being voted out and everyone hugged him, Janice kept shouting, "Vote no on Prop 8!" and completely ignored him. Gotta love her! Though why is she associating with that douche Perez Hilton that no one likes? Ah well, everyone has a fault or two. We forgive ya, Janice. Make sure to watch again next week as Janice is likely to defecate in Stephen Baldwin's shoes. That's quality television, folks.
It's an honor to get to pick a truly awesome person as our VFTW pick: Janice Dickinson. Janice makes every show she is on a true masterpiece of television. She's rude, she's crass, she's blunt, she wanted Speidi to stay, and she doesn't give a shit about what other people think. In other words, she's a Worster. So honor her by calling 1-877-5-KEEP-04, but then register tons of fake email addresses and vote at the website. It's easier, faster, and you get more votes in. Janice can thank the Gay Nation again if she makes it, but she can also thank the Worsters. But if Janice leaves, that truly makes the show non-Worsterific.
Seriously. VFTW picks Heidi and Spencer on I'm a Celebrity Get Me out of Here are truly awesome. Reports are now in that both have injured themselves after returning to the game they quit 100 times. First, Spencer "dislocates his thumb"
Before the lights were even shut off, Spencer hurt his hand trying to squish a spider, he called out, "I've dislocated my thumb! Emergency! Call a medic!'" When the medic asked if Spencer could give a thumb's up, he still could. "'Then you haven't dislocated your thumb, Spencer! Sit down! Don't be ridiculous.'" Telegdy says the medic responded, adding that Spencer continued, "'No, I've got to see a medic! This is the worst thing I've ever done in my life!'"
Then, Heidi is rushed to the hospital on Saturday
We've learned Heidi was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a gastric ulcer, after being held with hubby Spencer Pratt in a dark room for a day and a night with only water, rice and beans. It was designed as punishment because they left the show. One cast member described their treatment this way -- "It's the same as Guantanamo Bay." And get this ... a cast member tells us NBC execs tried to convince Heidi to stay on the set rather than take an ambulance to a hospital for treatment. She has now left the hospital and is on meds.
This show just keeps getting better and better. Hopefully they quit again, come back, and keep injuring themselves and getting pissed off. Who knew putting these two in the jungle would be such comedy gold? Spencer and Heidi for the win!
Well, this has just gotten 100 times stupider and funnier. Let's just hope the Creepy Flesh Colored Bearded One and his Mother Teresa-esque wife are back on the show tonight.
America's Got Talent, another crapfest produced by the same company that makes American Idol (Fremantle), was exposed tonight in a major way. VFTW reader Steve tells us:
Just more proof that any show Fremantle produces isn't on the up and up. It's not a talent competition, it's reality TV, folks.
Edited To Add: Rickey.org has the video.
Edited to Add More: Arcadian's claim was edited out of the replay of the show last night. Looks like the producers aren't too happy. Because they're idiots.
