Not the people who live in Whoville, (although they might as well) – the people who watching the opening episode of Celebrity Big Brother and scoff, “‘Celebrity’, is it?! I couldn’t name one person in that line-up!”

An aggressive live-tweeted, they’re quick to call you out on your lack of I’m A Celeb knowledge. They will also declare that this year has “the best lineup ever”.
They also definitely run fan accounts that they would NEVER in a million years admit to running.
3. The one-time-watcher

“Ireland’s Got Talent? I would rather stick pins in my eyes!”

The 5 types of people who watch reality TV
