fairy&cake Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 did anyone see last nights wife swap? Where the man threw the disabled boy , matress and all out of bed because he was tired due to his muscle condition? And he fed the Veggie woman meat in her nut roast? That man 'Rob' was an absolute idiot! I wish i could find out a way to complain! I think im extra sensitive to this as seth and ross have a muscle conditon similar! But id never throw them out of bed ! Shocking. Its on TV on Demand if you have Virgin. shocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I have actually stopped watching this show, as it has just become so awful that I cannot bear it any longer. I have enough madness in my own life without viewing that of others too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 i dont normally watch it, but i was ironing and ross had left the tv on. I cant believe people actually APPLY for those shows! Shocking. a couple of years ago me and the missus were invited by Channel 4 to go on wife swap - they had stumble across an old website of ours and thought we looked like an interesting family!! last week they invited us to go on a 4month fly-on-the wall programme of a similar ilk!! two "no"s Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Like the others say Laura, life's too short to watch rubbish, which is why I rarely ever watch any TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 There was an interesting article on this in the paper the other day - about how the producers skew reality to make 'more interesting viewing' They might not go on these shows for all the right reasons, but I do think they are badly manipulated and shown at their worst. It's so easy to judge people when we don't have the full facts. I'd write and complain Laura - and make it clear you won't be watching again! They only make these things because there is an audience for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Like the others say Laura, life's too short to watch rubbish, which is why I rarely ever watch any TV i agree, i just couldnt believe they show stuff like that on TV! Shocking. I feel so sorry for the boy though, he will get the mick taken out of him when hes at his college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Televising this sort of manipulated stuff is rather a cruel sport. like bear-baiting; these poor people sign up to do it and have no control over what is televised - they are set up as items of ridicule.

fairy&cake Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 that awful *cringes* Jeremy Kyle was accused of bear pitting in Court a few weeks ago, i think it was in the telegraph paper.

She pretends to be J.kyle apprently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't agree more Clare. Personally I think it's dreadful TV, cheap to make, no creativity or intelligence required by the production team and really portrays these poor individuals (and, by default, current British society) at their very worst. With TV shows like that it's a great reason to switch on................. the radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the above comments could easily be used to describe various current TV Shows including:- Big Brother, X Factor/Pop Idol, The Apprentice and maybe soon the Restuarant. All of the people in these shows have no control over what is televised, all of them still signed up to take part. I've no sympathy for any of them.

xChicken04x Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I watched it! I must admit i love watching these programs!! But last night was awfull, that poor lad!!! And Rob who loves to play mind games, he scares me!!! He had no respect fo his family and his wife was treated like a slave. As soon as he walked through the door he was asking for a cup of tea off the guest And he put pork pie in the poor lady's nut roast, that really annoyed me, how could some one have so little respect? It amazes me..... xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
