Default Why do you think it is? Jeremy Kyle etc.

Sorry to lower the tone with this post, but I have been wondering.......

Why does our society feel the need to air dirty washing in public? I mean lets face it, how the bleep do you venture back home and face your neighbours after THAT?!!!!! Who rings up these shows and says I have a problem I`d like to share with 3 million people ?

Who turns to another person in an arguement and says `RIGHT I`VE HAD ENOUGH......I`m taking you on the Trisha show:!!!!!!!!!!`

I DO happen to believe that some people who have lost a love one through terrible circumstances share thier stories so that these things dont happen again. BUT why do other people do it? To be the centre of attention for a while? To be famous in thier neighbourhood or just for a chav laugh?

ANOTHER thing, speaking of chavs, 90 perc of these people dont even bother to dress up for t.v, they come on in the scruffiest clothes and track suits etc

And I dunno how we managed in the past without lie detector tests
Does our society generally not care about self respect anymore?

I read that people like to watch these programmes as curtain twitching because there is no community anymore as in the past so we get our gossip by watching these shows!

The only one I've ever seen is Jeremy Kyle which is always on in my doctor's waiting room though I am always called in before I find out which brother is having an affair with his cross-dressing nephew. However I thought this interview with Trisha in today's Guardian was quite interesting.

Are shows like yours and Jeremy Kyle's "human bear-baiting"?

Jeremy Kyle comes from a totally different angle. I have two or three pages [of notes] on each guest, and a psychological profile on all of them. I do a lot of assessing. We have three qualified counsellors, and often we work with the guest for much longer than goes on air. I understand that Mr Kyle has a card - that's all he gets. He doesn't know what a person's upbringing was. I can tell when I watch his guests, and he is calling someone a slut and a sleeparound. I never label the person. My thing is conflict resolution.
She may be talking bo****ks though.

Tricia used to go to the same gym as me. She used to talk bollocks whilst there, so I wasn't surprised to see that her interview is full of bollocks as well.

Every one of these 'presenters' (I use the word very loosely) are self-opinionated and patronising in the extreme.

I wouldn't waste the electricity watching them or the energy reading their interviews either.

I thought Jennifer Saunders caught them all very well in The Life and Times of Vivienne Vyle. No matter how much they pretend to do so, the only thing the presenters and producers of such trash TV are interested in are the ratings and the awards they give each other.

Jeremy Kyle has a cheek to lecture anyone on rights and wrongs when it was in the newspaper not so long ago he tried to seduce a 16 year old girl. Another thing anyone that lowers themselves to air their dirty laundry in public like that are from the dregs of society.

Live each day to the full because one day it will be your last.

It's a horrid human bear pit hosted by a self-righteous prick that only abuses his guests because there's a few bouncers ready to leap to his rescue. I've no idea why some people put themselves through it, I do know of a local women that went on it twice as an audience member and once as a guest; maybe some get a kick out of the infamy of washing their dirty linen in public? For others, the unemployed etc, maybe it's the attraction of a free DNA test? As for those that require a lie detector, if there's little trust in your relationship it's probably ultimately screwed.

She used to lord it (lady it?) over all and sundry at the gym, real prima donna stuff. She used to come out with the most ridiculous guff about any subject. If her pronouncements are a measure of her own intellectual calibre she is probably right about us in Norfolk not being of that same cailbre...... we are all much smarter than she is!

These tv "shows" make us realise that we haven't moved on from Roman Times. This is our Gladiators Arena. We want to watch the slaves being thrown to the Lions. This is our form of public hanging. This "reality" culture that we now have is pathetic. We are turning into a culture of "nosey neighbours". Is this what we are teaching our children. Do something stupid or horrific and you can be a "star".

I always imagine in ten years time with these `whos the daddy shows`, these desperate sad people playing back the show to the kid in question as they will probably be proud of BEING ONTHE TELLLLLYYYY!

Oh those poor kids, screwed up from an early age! God help them!

`Look Romeo Grapefruit, this is what mum and dad did when we were courting`!
