I have been thinking about posting television news here on 1netez.net, as well as just my opinions — so I was searching around to find a good source and came across DayMix, it’s a search engine that gives you not only link results but also videos, images, blogs and every thing else.
At the top there’s a bar that contains links to the current most searched terms which is pretty neat, up there at the moment are Fundraising ideas, The Atkins Diet and Slumdog Millionaire to name but a few!
I just searched for The Biggest Loser Australia and my search experience was good, my other reality site my this one feature heavily in the results, which makes me happy — I like that all the results are on one page, you can get the same results on google but you have to search seperately if you want vidoes…images…blog posts etc.
You can even grab a widget to put onto your blog like the one below that updates dynamically. It’ll be interesting to see how long this blog post takes to appear in the results

…what have they done to it? The latest series is just 4 episodes in and I have already given up on it, and you guys know I don’t give up on shows once I start on them, I am a sticker.
But really, it’s baaad.
No series has ever topped the original that aired probably 10 years ago now, I am pretty sure it was actually one of the first ever reality shows as we know them now. the original shipwrecked spawn dear Jeff Brazier, a guy who was once famous for something other than being Jade Goody’s baby daddy — but since it’s revival a few years ago it has still been well worth a watch. This series it just holds no interest at all.
I couldn’t name a single contestant right now if my life depended on it. Though there’s probably a guy called Charles, they do like their posh kids on this show don’t they?
Shame, but I doubt it will be back for more series after this one.

Elton John, bless him — you just can’t help but like him can you?
I was watching ‘Lets Dance for Comic Relief’ at the weekend, a show that gave some poor celebrities just a week to learn a famous dance routine to perform for our enjoyment. Webb won the public vote, and Dick and Dom were put through by the judges…but even having watched the whole show I can’t remember quite what they won or what they are going through to, but hey ho.
Any way at the end they played the Comic Relief single for the first time and it is none other than Elton John singing on (Barry) Islands in the stream with Bryn and Nessa from Gavin and Stacey — he’s a bloody legend isn’t he, you’d never believe he was over 60 years old would you!
In the video they win a competition to go to Las Vegas and represent Wales in a karaoke competition, on the way they break down and who should be driving by but the one and only Elton John, he stops and picks them up and then signs with them on their track when it’s clear they are not going down well with the judges, helping to secure their victory.
Now I want to go see Elton John Las Vegas, baby!
