The Claire Powell reality machine has given us such moving monuments to television as Katie and Peter, What Katy Did Next, Peter Andre the Next Chapter and whatever that Kerry Katonathing was called. Now, we have the latest to enter the fray, It's All About Amy. The TOWIE star Amy Childs gets her bite of the reality turd.
But, sadly in a sub genre where the law of diminishing returns is the only law in town, Amy's effort is pretty much a lemon. With the other shows we got lots of kids and loving parents thrown at us, here the best they could come up with was defecating dogs. In fact we even had a very TOWIE moment where, in a set up that would have made that wonderful Essex based show blush, Amy's dog was sent to boot camp. Yeah, I know. Anyway, away from the dumping dogs there was precious little else. They even had trouble coming up with good bits for the coming up bits before the ad breaks. Cousin Harry was drafted in and proceeded to do what he did in series one and two of TOWIE, which is stare vacantly at Amy while nodding and smiling.There was something about Amy always wanting to own a beauty salon, I thought she owned the one in TOWIE, but apparently not. You could tell there was a dearth of material here because they went straight in with the calendar. Seasoned Claire Powell viewers will know that usually comes mid series. But I suppose Christmas is coming. Next week will we get the fragrance?
I know it sounds madly obvious, and I'm an idiot for thinking it, but I really did question what Amy was exactly famous for? Love them or hate them, Peter Andre does have a singing career and Katie Price is an astute business woman. But Amy seems to swan around like a lost kid in Disneyland.
I've read that viewing figures were poor, for the first show, so I suppose it won't be all about Amy for much longer.
Over
