    TVNZ can lance the boil by firing the prick as soon as they decide to take seriously the reaction of the public whose eyeballs they sell to advertisers...

    Call me cynical (lots of people do), but in the world of tv-ratings I believe he has only increased his value to TVNZ.

    He has (unintentionally) set off a number of interesting discussions. A bit like a somewhat useful troll.

    ETA: Although in the context of needing different types of locations for filming it's probably very handy.

    Meh, I've never understood the attraction of being able to swim and ski in the same day.

  • Voting Local 2010,
