Alternatively though one could say it gives you insight into what is actually happening around you while you are cossetted in your centrally heated house and employed

is about a bunch of people who are skint!....I think..never seen it!

Watched it once and it was too depressing. I've seen it at close hand and don't really look at it as entertaining or informing. What next, "Stoned, a life on smack" or "Honey, I've battered the kids".
Gimme overhaulin then a wee white dot and an hour or 2 on here. You lot are a lot more real...

Seems ironic watching folk who get £400 a month to ive on and then watch the Goodwood festival of speed and watch £400 in fuel go in a race

but that's life

Pyro said:

Yeah, but I'm skint whil;e cosseted in my house.
I have no idea what this is about, but I'll guess...
Its about someone with no money making a pratt of themselves on tv while the producers make a shedload of money.

To be honest its more about people with obvious mental illnesses or addictions or both living on the absolute breadline whilst surviving through the pawn shops

Is it going to help them?

I remember watching a thing years ago now where they were on board some oil rich dude's boat and it cost $27,000 to refuel it

I think it was an Alan Wicker programme, which shows how long ago it was. The amount has always stuck with me... be ten times that now.

When you compare that to some flash barsteward with a Moody44 on the Hamble who thinks he's the don... it's hilarious.

Lots of people buy them and then just sit on them and drink G&T and never sail anywhere.

I really fecking hate these 'reality' programs, most are just using the people they portray for their own agenda, most of the time the people are complete pratts who will do anything to get on tele.
If we all stopped watching this shit they would not make these programs, are our lives so boring and unfilled they we have to watch other people make fools of themselves or do we just enjoy the misfortune of others?
I know the producers say they are giving us what we want, but I dont agree, they are feading us the pap that they think we should want.

I think things like Wife Swap are the pits. Seen a couple of episodes and that was enough for a lifetime

AHA those are exhibitionism this is pretty much reality.

i caught five minutes of it.....just seemed to be either mental illness or complete scumbags......

FFS that lot that pawned there kids playstation and then go back and get 500 quid back out of pawn most of it fucking gold what sort of people are these who pawn there kids toys...i nearly cried when the kids looked happy to get his PS back....and the scumbag parents started showing off the gold......FFS why are these people allowed be like this......the sooner scumbag parents get vilified the better......all this fecking do gooding namby pamby crap....oh they need help.....FFS they need a rocket up the arse...

The sad thing about the PS2 parents was they both work - her a nurse and him a shit shoveller (I guess) yet they kicked off the month with a £500 trip to crack converter to get all their stuff back. In two weeks they will be skint again and will pawn it all back at another £100 or so loss.

Its a shame that two working folk - who by their own admission woud be better off on the dole - cant afford to make ends meet. I do suspect that econonomics want a strong point at school

The others, are a product of (dont) care in the community and are genuinely mentally ill. Matey boy from last week with the methodone son worked as was a model citizen until three years ago after falling sick and is now on the street. Does not seem right
