AND THE AWARD FOR 'trashiest talkshow ever' GOES TO....
British daytime television is absolutely rubbish! I've had the week off work and because my sister is at home too I've been forced to watch all the crap talkshows that plague most of the tv channels. From Trisha to Ricki Lake (I didnt know she was still alive!) its all just a crap-fest of tasteless, tacky daytime viewing!But one talkshow that really takes the biscuit is the 'Jeremy Kyle' show. Where do I start on this one? Is it the idiotic, cliched topics of discussion - most are along the lines of :
'Mum, stop sleeping with my boyfriends!'
'I had to sell my home to fund my teenage son's drug habit'
'my husband loves to wear my underwear'
The list goes on and on and just when I think it cant get any worse, good ol' Jeremy comes up with yet another even more ridiculous story in an attempt to fascinate (or should I say repulse?). Pardon me, but I thought these talkshow hosts were supposed to be impartial and give the guests a chance to narrate their side of the story? Oh, but not Jeremy; I think he is one the most judgemental, patronising, condescending human beings ever to grace television! Its almost comical the way he waltzes around the stage, acting all high and mighty, whilst at the same time taking every opportunity he can to fling insults at the guest if he/she says something that he doesn't aggree with.
For example I was watching (under diuress, of course) the show yesterday, with the topic being, ' I have 6 different kids by 6 different men and dont know who my 7th baby-daddy is' (or something like that) Anyways the woman in question gets into an arguement with 2 of the baby-fathers and in the midst of this Jeremy asks, 'so why did you sleep with her then?' to which baby-daddy no.1 replies, 'I dont know, I was drunk...' BIG MISTAKE!!
Jeremy, who hardly gives the audience a chance to voice their criticisms, responded by blasting the three of them with,' YOU IMMORAL HUMAN BEINGS! HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF CONTRACEPTION?! After he finished his tirade he then proceeded to bark at baby-daddy no.2 ,'you are a good-for-nothing so and so. Get off my stage!'
Mind you, if you're the sort of character who will appear on a show like that, airing your dirty laundry for all the world to see, I guess you deserve whatever is coming to you.
As for the audience, its never really clear exactly who they are supporting or who they are against. One minute they're cheering , the next they're booing at the same person. It's like the director is standing behind the camera with cue cards, prompting them when to cheer or applaud or boo. And I thought Jerry Springer was trashy!
*sigh* Honestly I need to use my free time more productively. From now on I will only watch the teleshopping channels on my week off. But seriously you have been warned! If you watch the Jeremy Kyle show, you watch at your own peril!!

lmao.. i dont even think we get this show in Canada but it sounds funny.. I luv shows that are either incredibly stupid or smart.. and this show sounds the former so it could be great to laugh and snicker @...
I have watched Jeremy Kyle and I totally agree with you... he is too judgemental!!!
You bother with Jeremy Kyle?
I flip channels once GMTV is over and go back at 10.30am for This Morning. Jeremy Kyle is absolute rubbish which I dont spend precious time watching.
lol..girl ur so right i have had the misfortunte of watching jeremy kyle once i thought it was absolute crap too and i just couldnt believe that real normal people would sit and watch it talkless of appearing on it. i hate talk shows in general now they all seem so staged i dont know if its just me but sometimes i think they pay those people to come on. how was ur week babe.
@overwhelmed: you should thank ur lucky stars that u dont receive the show in Canada. I dont think u'll be laughing; more like throwing something at ur tv...
@calabargal: I must stress that I was forced to watch it. lol
@life: I like your choice of words - real misfortune. my week was good , thanx babe. u havent updated in a while, though. how come?
This is how it starts though...
I'm telling you, just step away from the tv now.
Pretty soon you'll find yourself watching it because you can't believe how patronising he is, and then you start watching to see if he can say even worse crap thatn he did the last time, and then you are hooked. just like the 'jerry springer' days lol.
@soul: I dont think I'm in danger of getting hooked on that rubbish. Like i said, its teleshopping for me from now on. lol
LOL...I saw the show when I was in London sometime in June....
I think its new (at least it wasnt there last year) so i decided to give it a try...
dude is a-n-n-o-y-i-i-n-g to the tee!
