The RI:SE gang have a brand new competition. Following a similar pattern to the Rollercoaster challenge viewers now have the chance to win a holiday to a great European destination, by answering a few simple questions.. while being hurdled down hill in a Yoki Bob. If you're upto sphereing, zorbing (and most likely barfing?) then call 0207 805 8509 and be ready to travel to one of these locations: Swanage, Ilfracombe, Milton Keyens, Stoke or Swindon. To take up the challenge you must be under 15 stone and physically fit.. unfortunately the task requires over 18's only.

The RI:SE ""Search for a Nobody"" officially began today. With the studio presenters in charge of picking the talentless nobodies they left it upto viewers to call in and vote for the worst singer of the two. Two new faces will be shown everyday, all week, until Friday's final. The winner will be given a complete transformation, learn how to sing and dance, and the studio will put them in all the right places and make them a known face. The winner will also appear on The Jay Leno Show. After seeing one of the contestants screeching her way through Whitney's ""i will always love you"" the studio came to the conclusion that she was adding to her performance and the viewers seemed to think the same. Mat Ovens (who wrote his own song & dedicated it to the studio) won the vote with 73% on his side. This granted him a place in Friday's final, but whether he has less talent than the rest of the weeks competitors is yet to be seen.

With Laura and Kris being the stars of the new horror film ""My Little Eye"" the studio got them to take part in some creepy task. The two had to put their hands in box without knowing what they are, and to find out exactly what the boxes contained they had to have a good feel. They actually, mostly contained soggy sausages and tomatoes, which apparently stank.

Anchor man Mark (Duds) recently branded RI:SE ""the show that keeps getting odder and odder.."" (although that's why we love it) and they probably proved it today. From bizzare quizzes on rollercoasters, stunt planes and yoki balls, to the currently on-going ""Search a Nobody"" the studio celebrated the Andrex puppy's 30th Birthday.. by bringing the original (now stuffed) Labrador itself to the studio... The Soap Awards also took place last night and 4 stars (two from Brookie, two from Hollyoaks) dropped by to dish the latest gossip. Everyone decided not to sit near Steven Fletcher, who hadn't bothered to wash or have a shave.

When interviewing Robin Williams, Duds asked him to look at photo's of his co-presenters and tell him a little about them (to co-inside with One Hour Photo.) He thought Edith and Chris wear thongs, Kirsty apparently attends Star Trek auctions (and wants a cling-on in the worse way) and Liz is a man-eater. His description of Hells Bells was to rude to air.

RI:SE have a new challenge.. for themselves. Rob Deering is the new ""TV Repair Man."" He will (try to) repair the lives of people who come out of reality tv worse for wear. Today he went to see ex-Big Brother housemate Tim Culley, who once had his car trashed after leaving the house. Nobody seemed to give a damn though. When the viewers were asked to send in nice e-mails for Tim he only recieved two. He was last seen in September on Loose Women (again, getting booed.) Today was also the final of ""Search For a Nobody."" Mark (i don't know where he's from, but who cares?) whaled Elvis' classic, Suspisious Minds. He won the competition by 2%

The TV Repair Man went to ""Survivor"" star Jennifer Adams' house. She refused to tell us what JJ is all about, so he broke an egg on her floor and later on smashed a plate. She didn't swear, but she was pretty pissed off. The two later baked a cake (in which she declined to take part) and attempted to give it to one of her neighbours, but nobody was in. Like yesterday, people were asked to send her nice emails. Someone called Dean asked her to paint her toe nails.. she gave a firm ""No"" reply and moved swiftly on.

Today the TV Repair Man went to visit Hayley Nolan.. (who bears a similarity to Big Brother 3's Lynne..) don't recognise the name? You shouldn't. She's been turned down for 10 reality tv shows! Amongst them are Big Brother, Popstars and Survivor. Rob gathered the locals around to listen to her vocal talent. Also, Liz revealed that tonight's episode of ""Faking it"" sees a 999 Operator directing RI:SE. Lynne will be on the phone tomorrow and will continue directing the OB. Tune in!

The studio brought in some Martial Arts experts and in spectacular fashion Liz, Colin and Helen attacked them all in the last minute of the show. Liz and Helen both started off pretty confident mocking the daft noises you here in movies, only to be picked up and thrown on the crash mat. Colin decided this was a great opportunity to climb on Helen, who was uncontrollably laughing. Colin didn't fair off any better... well he is abit puny isn't he? He lay ""unconcious"" as the credits rolled and Liz was still being thrown in the air. It had to be one of the funniest moments to date, on RI:SE. (Duds didn't take part.)

RI:SE have a brand new challenge. ""Iron guts"" is pretty much a self-explanatory title. All you have to do is eat as much foul tasting food as you can handle. Contestants will most likely throw up, so you have to avoid this as long as you can. Although after seeing the VD clip many people may be seeing their breakfast again, by just watching. If you have Iron guts then call 020 7805 8530. The competition takes place in London.. no details yet on what the prizes are. Also, if you live anywhere near ""Beach"" nightclub in Sunderland, go down over the weekend and check out Mark Scott perform his new single.

The studio have a new comp, which gives viewers the chance to win 2k. (Courtesy of Warners, who are trying their best to sell of Ocean's Eleven. Video stores refused to sell it at the price Warners proposed. Both being stubborn, the film is in some trouble.) So anyways, all viewers have to do is name three celebrity faces (chosen by a jackpot machine) call in and say what links the three. Today's were Robbie Williams, Jimi Mistry and Emma Bunton... who all appeared in EastEnders. Ed Sanders, the new reporter, also hosted Iron guts. The competitors had to either eat (actually, they had to scoff) either Ed's left over Curry or some Apple Pie. Being the generous viewers we all are, the two were forced to eat Ed's curry.. then be spun around in a Theme Park ride after eating 20 pickled onions (on top of the curry.) All before 7:30am. Unfortunately time ran over in the studio, so we never got to see who won the Playstation 2. Big Brotherz also performed their debut, Nu Flow.

Amongst them were; Carol Vorderman, Graham Norton, Ant McPartlin, Cat Deely (who hired a bodyguard for her diamonds) Davina McCall and Anne Robinson also spoke to Edith.. about Mark. Davina told Edith that she thinks ""he's lovely,"" while Anne Robinson asked Edith for Mark's number, for her daughter! If anyone can remember about a month back, there were stories in a national newspaper, where Ulrika Johnson was apparently asking after Mark. Views on Mark seemed to have changed since the late 1990's, when critics cruely branded him ""the new Des Lynam"" when he used to host a range of shows on Sky Sports. Fashion critics Trinny and Susannah also mentioned that they bumped into Ulrika, at last nights awards.. to tell her she'd put her dress on back-to-front. Unfortunately she'd already walked down the red carpet and had her pictures taken. Celebrity Jackpot: Brad Pit

There were three challenges: chewing on the hottest chilli pepper, pole dancing, or sticking his head down the toilet. He didn't get to choose which one he would take up, but he was a great sport anyway. The presenters also asked for viewers views on Britains Worst people. (As opposed to Sundays documentary featurting the best.) A few mentioned were; David Seaman, Edwina Curry, Darren Day, Christopher Biggins, Abs Breen, Sean Connery and Jamie Oliver. Edith also mentioned that she's not too keen on Victoria Harvey and Kirsty (who had her first time behind the desk) can't stand the sight [and voice] of Ken Livingston.

Celebrity Jackpot now has a few new rules. Probably because the answers are slightly easy, and the studio are giving 2k away, for the second time. Once a caller gets the link correct they win 100, but they can gamble for 500. The caller choses one of the three faces on the fruit machine and to win 500 there has to be one photo matching the celebrity the caller chose. If two matching pictures come up they can gamble their 500 for the full 2k. To win it all the money, all three pictures on the machine have to match. If they don't, the caller gets their original prize money. The rules out of the way, here's todays details. Celebrity Jackpot: Keith Duffy, Brian Dowling and Tom McDermot. Link - They're all Irish. One caller, the first in fact, said they were all in the BB House. It was true, but the answer was too much of a giveaway for 2k.

Ralf had four Miss UK's (from Bolton etc..) to choose from for a date. They had three challenges: Down a pint in one. As it was too early for beer, they had water instead. The second was to name something they'd do for their high street. And the third was to show some knowledge in sports. (All they actually did was bat a ball, as opposed to trivia.)
