| Celebrity spotting at the World Cup 21:22 - Jun 19 with 646 views | urbanpenguin |
I have no idea and less interest in who all the celebrities are that the World Cup cameras keep cutting to. It's tiresome, just show me the game not some random person not watching the game from a luxury box.
However, I suppose it's a good test for the hellscape that will be the LA Olympics, which will be totally Hollywood and just saturated with random actors and singers. Get used to it. |  |

Some of them are so unknown to the UK that no one is even able tell the commentator in his earpiece |  |

Apparently they are given a list before each game to say who is in attendance and may be cut to, but the few games I have watched the commentator couldn't care less, and neither could i. | |

If it’s ’couldn’t care less’ and simply choosing not to, I have the utmost respect | |

I think they couldn’t care less but also don’t have a clue who they are 
They usually joke that they only know 1 or 2 on the list, one mentioned Gareth Bale the other day and he wasn’t even on the list! |  |

Same happens when we are in TV and they keep panning to Ed Sheeran. |  |

Haha. Whoever the last two guys were was an absolute mystery.
Loved seeing Darren Anderton the other day though, the original sick note 🤒 | |

All part of this strange obsession with celebrity that the major channels have.
Every tiresome quiz show over here now has to have celebrity specials as well.
Bunch of non entities desperate to ham up their 30 mins of precious screen time…
I guess they do it because the average viewer has no attention span for no-marks they don’t recognise from some reality shoite or soap opera…. |  |
| It used to great on here when people let me say whatever I wanted and giggled along - (Rough translation of post from un-named TWTD contributor, 2026) | | Poll: | September 2025. Which one? |

TBF, it's not the BBC or ITV who are doing this, it's the US feed. So I think pretty much the obsession is American (see also how their Traitors is populated by 'celebrities') and we are just downstream. So it's quite nice when, as people say, the commentators make a joke or call it out. | |
