Toast 16,162 Posted September 16, 2023 39 minutes ago, ladyfiona said: I'm now expecting Bobby Brazier to be on Dianne Buswell's Youtube channel because Joe turned her into an influencer. Especially when it's viewers who vote. At the moment she has 266k subscribers and also hangs out with Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes as they're basically siblings now. When she went to Australia after covid happend and Australia still had 2 week probabtion period etc. She vlogged like 14 days in a hotel room about what it was like. Dianne Buswell - no Zoe Sugg - no Alfie Deyes - no Joe - ??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,597 Posted September 17, 2023 It doesn't bother me that I haven't heard of some of them but I like to understand why I haven't heard of them. I don't watch soaps or sports but accept that would give people a legitimate call on celebrity status but Love Island contestants and YouTube influencers leave me cold. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you don't care about this but just for completeness @Toast, I'll point out that Zoe Sugg (aka "Zoella") is Joe Sugg's elder sister, so they're both influencers. Alfie Deyes was (I don't know if he still is) Zoella's boyfriend and is also an influencer. What a huge contribution they are making to society. As with Biblio, the Love Islanders and influencers are of no interest to me. Famous for nothing. Not the most stellar line-up this year, but the standard has been high. Scoring's the usual nonsensical mash-up, but it's been entertaining enough so far. Nice to see Amy tonight, no wig, embracing her baldness. Says she's halfway through her treatment course and she sounded very positive for a good outcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the moment he's currently copying Jacksepticeye and brought out a coffee brand called Future Self. It's the new thing to do when it comes to influencers - coffee or fast food (think Sides and when Mr Beast did Beast Burger). 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand that you might not have heard of Robin Windsor if you have never watched Strictly, but rather than make yourself look like a twat by commenting "who?", try using Google to educate yourself, or just don't comment at all.
