I've just seen a trailer for this, I know we should encourage education but really...
(a) Let Noel Edmonds anywhere near kids he's a litte suspicious to me ??
(b) Let him encourage the little arrogant fuckers to be annoying, cheeky and downright disrespectful ??

| This must be like our show, "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader?" I watched the show once. I quickly determined that yes, I am smarter than a 5th grader. I never watched it again. The host is annoying. The kids were annoying. The contestants were the most annoying. |

agreed. there is a canadian version on every once in a while which i took offence to because they didnt change the name (we say "grade 5" not "5th grader") and then deemed it generally stupid. |

Of course, I should have known that SKY and Edmonds wouldn't have an original idea. Mind you he did figure out how to fill an hour of TV opening fucking boxes !!!

I hate that show too. But it's not like our stations aren't full of rip-offs from other countries so it goes both ways.
Fingers crossed this doesn't catch on in the UK like it did here. |

Yeah but at least you guys rip off the decent stuff like the Office etc., All the UK/Ireland rips off is fucking reality TV (strictly X factor got Talent on Ice Survivor Island Celebrity) and crap quiz shows

| I still like Antiques Roadshow, that's a UK rip-off. The funny thing is I watched Canadian Antiques Roadshow a couple times and it was sooooo boring, but I couldn't really figure out why. |

Oh, yeah! I want to add that to my 43 things. I want to be on What Not To Wear and have Stacy and Clinton throw all my clothes away and give me $5,000 to buy more and tell me what to buy, and have Nick cut my hair and have Carmindy do my make-up. |

No one has to tell me. I know I have no style. And I need to be told what to buy because I have no clue.
However: I do not take my children to school in my jammies or sweat pants. That is one low I hope I never sink to. |

If I lived in Minnesota Kayte, then I'd nominated you and be on hand for the friend interview ("Oh GAWD Kayte is such a hot mess trainwreck!"). Maybe you should ask Nicole to recommend you |
