I agree 100% with the title of this thread; Please, Meat, JUST SAY NO to this one. I think he will do just that, thank goodness

[suzieq]

Me thinks Meat will say !

[chairboys]

DEFINITELY NO.

[JennaG]

I can't see him agreeing to do this given his reluctance to get involved in shows like this in the past.

Yeah, celebrities say this often until people start waving cash.
I hope he won't but it won't surprise me if he will.

This is largely the same text as the "story" in The Daily Star .. that model of tabloid journalism .. Channel 5 may well be desperate to get Meat to boost their flagging ratings. There's nothing to suggest there's the remotest likelihood that Meat would be sucker-punched a second time.

Meat doesn't respond to people "waving cash" in my view. CA at least offered a means of raising money for a charity he loves.

Typical tabloid nonsense making a story out of nothing at all imo

[Dave]

Wrong!!!


Just say yes!!!!

[Evil One]

No

[robgomm]

I'm sure Meat wouldn't do this trashy show. Just complete rubbish, never could understand the appeal of it.

[LisaT]

He wouldn't be able to tolerate all the fake, fame-hungry airheads that they put into that place!

I find it hard to believe you have seen Channel 5's CBB, or if you have that you'd want Meat to go within a thousand paces of it It makes I'm a Celebrity (which he says he'd never consider) look like sophisticated, intellectually stimulating, class TV

Of course I say no. I loathe reality TV in all its forms.

Due to me loving his music so much, I will kindly ignore any reality TV that he has been on or will be on. Especially this. CE is one thing, this is a whole other ball of wax.

[Dave]

I say it would be fun to have Meat Loaf on the show. However, I will shut up about my thoughts and opinions because the mob is already circling.

[carole]

No, there is absolutely no way Meat will do this.

Have you actually seen the show we're talking about? Followed it to it's conclusion, seen the bloody stupid things they make contestants do, do you really know the level of "celebrity" they get on there?

I'm having a hard time trying to find a reason why you would consider this to be a good move so please explain why you would in any way find Meat appearing on this pathetic show to be a positive thing?

Meat - please don't do this!

I don't feel part of a mob David .. I thought you were joking, and I just think you really can't have seen this awful time-wasting show I don't believe that Meat would ever consider it. He'd be bored out of his skull apart from anything else .. (as well as separated from his beloved laptop!). He's such an energetic man, whose brain is always buzzing with ideas .. he'd be wandering around with a stout rope looking for a beam to hang himself from within an hour or so

CA provides a series of business challenges to the teams which have some real outcomes, and raise money for worthy causes .. Our CBB consists of a few people sitting around bored, bitching and moaning, who are set with a few utterly ridiculous "tasks" from time to time which are simply time-filling nonsense but have no real purpose, apart from being contrived to make the participants look ridiculous in bursts of car-crash TV. (They're as awful as those "auditions" on X-factor which are filmed simply to be shown to get home audience laughing at how terrible and lacking in any talent or self-awareness the people are.) As Michael says .. this is why they cannot get anyone who is much of a celebrity or hold any self-esteem to take part. Mainly it attracts a sad bunch of WAGs, mediocre ex sportsmen, idiot politicians who seem compelled to end their careers, minor soap stars, emaciated clothes pegs hardly out of the womb who can barely string a phrase together, and bit part actors whose careers are waning fast.

CBB does nothing to help any participant, except arguably damage their reputations, and benefits no-one except the producers. Channel 5 are simply trying to boost their flagging ratings, and The Daily Star to fill its columns ..

[lorenzoduke]

Meat is a singer, actor, performer and recording artist. CBB is the last refuge of the desperate and the talentless. He has never resorted to putting his private life on show and I've no reason to believe he will now. It's beneath him, and I've more respect for him than to think he'd sink to those depths.

No, I am a complete dunderhead idiot who is just talking out of his arse. Yes, I have seen the show. I am not a babbling retard. No, we do not get the show in America; however, I have seen several full seasons of every show. Again, close mindedness reigns supreme among the Meat Loaf fan base. You have assumed something about me by your statement above that is a lie. Thank you for your lack of faith in my being able to formulate an independent opinion based on research and my own freewill reasoning.

I don't think anyone has suggested you are an idiot, nor a babbling one who cannot form an opinion based on their freewill reasoning. Closed-minded people don't ask if you are familiar with the show, and people are entitled surely to express their views on it and those who Channel 5 can get to appear on it (a list which is hardly star-studded). Nothing to do with the Meat Loaf fanbase .. it's the view of many people in the UK (hence the poor viewing figures), and also it would appear of a large number of self-respecting celebrities who refuse to be on it.

Now you have said you are familiar with the show I remain surprised you would want Meat to appear on it though. I do agree with Michael who said " CBB is the last refuge of the desperate and the talentless." Like him, I have too much faith in Meat to imagine he'd ever consider it.

[AndrewG]

Actually some of the comments in this thread make me rethink my opinion and it would be fun to disprove the "obvious" thoughts of the mob and Meat did do the show and donated the money to charity if he won.
