What's Good for You is to not Watch 'What's Good For You'

July 4th 2006 08:06
Since when did Michael Slater present on TV??? The show that’s pretty much forgotten on Monday nights on channel 9 at 7.30pm titled ‘What’s Good for You’ is Beyond 2000 mashed in with a bit of Brainiac.

Insert Title Here
Does Michael Slater look like he can present a TV segment?/Source: CricketInfo



The title is incorrect because these ‘reporters’ (sorry Michael Slater cannot front TV screens unless he’s done something bad) don’t dictate what is good for you. It should be called ‘We’re Gonna Bore Your Brains Out with Useless Facts on How to Live Your Life but do it in a Witty Manner and Hopefully Use it as a Platform to Further Our Career’. But I think that is a bit too long to print in a TV Guide.

The parts that I dared to watch was Michael Slater experimenting on the rule that you should drink 8 glasses of water a day. Sounds like Brainiac to me, but included more scientific facts and we had to listen to Michael take a wizz. Not cool. I’d tell you if the rule was true or not but I can’t because 1. the outcome was too messy to remember; and 2. my attention span didn’t last long enough oh and 3. it’s not my job to tell you what’s good for you and what’s not.

There were other bits, a report that napping for 20 mins a day increases productivity in the workplace and before you can go back to work you test your reflexes on this machine that (shock, horror) measures your how fast your reaction times are. Then the reporter – I think it was Katrina Brown – said something unfunny about it was cool for her to have a siesta in the middle of the park or something. Yep, my attention span was running out.


Oh and did you know that cockroaches are more hygienic than humans? Damn. Didn’t see that coming (not like I cared).

But soon it was back to BB nominations. Since the intruders are now classified as housemates, Perry and Darren were on the chopping block along with was left of the housemates. Both were on the preliminary nomination list until David did his highly good deed of taking points off his hot crush Darren instead of himself. Gaelan what were you thinking David was gonna save himself? David’s gone too far in putting on the nice guy charade he has to maintain it to win the game!

On the topic of nice people, since Perry has taken on the ‘I don’t care’ approach, she’s made Camilla look like a meek little mouse. Did you see how Perry ripped her apart about herbal tea when Camilla was talking to her about it in an assertive manner? If I were Camilla I’d be in tears for hours. I reckon Camilla should be favourite to win, she’s taken so much into her stride, surviving that many nominations and having to deal with that now-infamous moment on BB. I’m not gonna bring it up again cos I’m over it. It’s becoming quite political with the PM involved. And when the PM gets involved, that’s when you save your ears and move on with life.

Check back tomorrow for another instalment!

I have to say I really enjoy the show and I think what you are saying in incorrect. There are some people in this world who enjoy learning little facts about themselves and their health and what is good for them.
