Well, you said "it gets meat back in the media, back in the public domain, back interested". So how can he benefit from it exactly? Will people see and get interested in the artist Meat Loaf, or will he just be a contestant on a reality show and serve for short-time entertainment? Will he recommend himself for further shows of that kind by that appearance?

Some people would surely have a problem with my opinion and the fact that Meat is a member here requires constant self-censorship if you don't wanna get in danger of having to fight one stupid war after another.

I have to admit- the show is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. A fair point, but the competition aspect is what makes the show interesting. People do have to work together to a point, or else they risk being eliminated. I did feel bad for Sharon Osbourne last year, because she didn't win any money for her charity, despite her being one of the strongest players (I like Sharon). I think each celeb should get some amount of cash for their charity just for appearing, and then whatever they win is extra. |

I've never seen a singer go on a reality show and be taken more seriously or afforded more attention as a singer as a result, thats for sure. Quite the opposite usually - reality shows just seem to make serial reality show contestants and pundits. Hope that doesn't happen to Meat. Not while he can still fill arenas under his own steam anyway.

Didn't do it for the recognition, the last thing I want, I like going to the store and just being a shopper. I care so much about THE PAINTED TURTLE and kids they take care of. If you were to walk on the ground of that camp, you can feel it, It's magic. You can make a lot of money on that show ! It's not going to help me and it's not going to hurt. Just more people will bug me at airports and that's bad. I have turned down so many of those shows every year for the last 10 years . I learned a lot doing it . One thing, it is not easy , I kept them all running to keep up.

Sounds like you did right by that charity though Meat, and that can never be a bad thing. I work FOR children every day of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way.

But surely it prepares people for what they are about to read when they get to the content of my post? I'll definitely not be going for Lovely One then. Holy One seemed a bit of a hit though! |

I doubt Meat can disclose that.
It's the same with the Apprentice in the UK. The last series I know for a fact was 98% filmed a year before its broadcast! How they can all keep the losers and winners a secret for so long is quite incredible really. |
