Review: Rock Rivals is brought to you by Shed Media, the trash-tastic company behind recent classics ‘Bad Girls’ and ‘Footballer’s Wives’. However, whilst those two shows offered a glorious feast of bad taste telly, Rock Rivals is an awfully misjudged ‘X-Factor’ spoof starring soap opera has-beens Michelle Collins and Sean Gallagher. Karina and Mal are married TV talent show judges, whose bitter divorce threatens to eclipse the show’s popularity. Yawn. Undemanding trash TV it may be, but Rock Rivals is hopelessly out-of-date and painfully bad. Make no mistake, the real ‘X-Factor’ competition is funnier, bitchier and more disturbing than Rock Rivals could ever hope to be. The fact that the special features let you ‘choose your own winner’ sums up how meaningless this whole show really is. An utter waste of time.
