Thursday saw the pilot episode of  The Exclusives, a reality show surrounding six wannabe Reporters who are all competing for the job of a lifetime. Considering he fact that I'm an aspiring Journalist myself, I could tell right from the offset that this programme was right up my street. Chris, Ellie, Felix, Hayley, Stuart, and Sunny all have their hearts on not only being celebrity journalists, but actually working with one of Europe's largest magazine publishers.

The six, who were successfully chosen to be candidates for this once in a lifetime opportunity, will compete even further, interviewing celebrities on the red carpet, organising celebrity photo shoots and ultimately, showing that they should land their dream job over anyone else.

But only one can win, and Thursday's episode began the process of separating the men from the boys, when they had to show off their skills to teen magazine More! All sorts of nightmare situations occurred, such as Felix, who forgot to turn his dictaphone on (rookie mistake) and Stuart, who spent the whole morning with the boys from Made in Chelsea, not having a clue who they were.

The stupidity of these budding journalists became extremely apparent when on the red carpet, Sunny screeched at celebrity interview targets while Hayley spoke to Mitch Winehouse about his late daughter Amy.

But we all need to make mistakes to learn from them, so I think it's fair to say that we should give this ambitious lot a second chance, don't you think?
