The “Comic Relief does Fame Academy” BBC1 TV series that preceded, and then finished on, Red Nose Day 2005 was particularly interesting. In my opinion, it featured the two sexiest women on TV nowadays, Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq and Top of the Pops presenter Fearne Cotton. However, they were both knocked out early on.

Another Top of the Pops presenter, Reggie Yates, was continually voted to stay in the programme by fellow students, despite being dreadful at singing. He did not fool the TV audience or the judges – and was finally voted off by 8 votes to 4 when previous students were allowed back to take part in the voting process in the final Thursday’s programme.

I think that Reggie managed to manipulate some of the other students, when they were stuck in the house with him, using mind control – reading and manipulating their minds in a similar way to that described in Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series (see my group on the Second Foundation for more information).

I believe that Reggie was partly motivated by racism (despite the fact that he is black) in his attitude towards Konnie. For more information about racism and mind control in “Comic Relief does Fame Academy”, visit my first message to this group.
