Charles Gant and Vanya Tuarau Internet Spin Reality TV Fantasy Island

It is apparent that 'Fantasy Island', so called reality tv, headed up by Charles Gant, has alligned themselves with Vanya Tuarau. There's some internet positings on WireImage. It looks like Gant and his cronies have gotten so desperate that they are now paying for advertising to any place that will take it. No more news stories for Gant, unless it's bad news. Guess that Network Nine's 'A Current Affair' feature wasn't quite what Gant was after. Nice job The Sydney Morning Herald did also in coverage Gant's latest con. Let's hope Tanya Tuarau doesn't become another Gant victim. For anyone wondering about what is fact and fiction on Gant and 'Fantasy Island', check the news items via Fairfax, Sydney Morning Herald, ABC and Network Nine's 'A Current Affair'. And Gant wrongly thought that "any publicity is good publicity". That's ususally the case, but not for Gant and his so called reality tv "show".

Charles Gant Reality TV Fantasy Island Desperate

Folks, Charles Gant's so called tv "show', 'Fantasy Island', must be getting deserate.

They are still reeling from Network Nine's expose on Gant and his "show". I wasn't the only person who had mixed expierences with 'Fantasy Island' and the Gant camp. Basically Gant's name and "show" is mud, and he can't apparently get a positive press run anymore, so he took out a few adverts in rags and such. The Sydney Morning Herald also buried and exposured Gant and his "show".

In response, Gant and his associates are trying to get positive coverage on the internet, but unfortunatly for Gant, the word is already out on him. This guy has given reality tv a worse name that it already had! Now that's quite an achievment! No more positive exposure for Gant or 'Fantasy Island' in the media.

Gant's been spreading lies about good people. A fraudster is always a fraudster. AVO's, stalking, people getting ripped off...these are a few of his favorite things, and Gant's attepting to play the victim!

'Fantasy Island' is looking to be all but history.

Fact is indeed stranger than fiction. Gant and friends, karma is a bitch, and the industry is too small in Australia to go around ripping off people, telling lies, to not get away with it.

'Fantasy Island' has been expoused. No wonder Gant is on the radar of the Australian Federal Police, and for the record, I gave a follow up phone call to the Australian Federal Police, and I also reported Gant in person at Randwick Police Station.

'Fantasy is right'. Keep dreaming. Gant, if your reading, I've also tipped on various news media bloggers and the top brass at Southern Cross Broadcasting. Gant's name is mud forever.

Reality TV Feedback - Thank you

Reality TV Feedback - Thank you

My interview with Network Nine's 'A Current Affair' went to air and the response to my appearance has been excellent.

I would like to publically thank all the people, clients and associates who have been so supportive to me over the years.

Network Nine (and my former client), certainly got an interview with someone with "guts and balls". There were a lot of people not prepared to speak out about the reality tv business, especially about that 'Fantasy Island' "show", but no such problem here. I think the concept was fantastic, but it's a shame they tried to con the wrong guy! Fancy trying to con the publicist, the very person helping get them positive publicity, when they had experienced so much negative publicity in the past. I'm the guy who got them on Radio 4BC, however, when they didn't pay up, let alone fix me up for expences incurred, that's where it fell apart. Then it was time to notify the Sydney Morning Herald (Spike) and Network Nine's 'A Current Affair'.

On the night the interview went to air Gant's current publicist called my mobile (at 11pm)! Could be be a stalker also? I simply told her I didn't know why she was calling, that we ceased business dealings months ago, and to not contact me again. She sounded like a desperate attention seeker. I guess she might be learning the stalking trade from one of the best in the business, Charles Gant.

For the record, I've put many people on 'A Current Affair', 'Today Tonight', talk back radio and such over the years, and 99% of it has been for good news, and the clients and associates have done the right thing. I'm not a charity, although I am certainly very charitable of nature.

In the near future you will be seeing more of me on Channel 31, and we have a few good things on the go with Foxtel, Fox Sports and Network Nine. When I'm ready to go public with all the details, I'll let you all know, and put it into the public domain. Unlike some, I don't over promise, only to under deliver. My work is in the public domain, and my professional credentials are available upon request.

There's a few other reality television related projects on the horizon, and I'll provide more information on them in due course. Always keep in mind, for every 1 reality tv programme that makes it, there's approximately 100 that don't. A harsh but true fact.

Thanks again for your support, it's very much appriciated.
