coachmann Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 A girl once asked me if I was still painting locos and feeding the pigeons. It's a cringeworthy question but with nothing to lose I replied 'yes'. "That's what I like about you....You care and you've got a big pekker" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60026to Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It's not really about finding 'love' on the programme it's about getting ones face on the TV for their 15 minutes of fame and moving on to other things. Just ask Amanda Holden as she could tell you all about it. Most of these TV programmes that feature the public are really a waste of time the best examples have got to be Escape To The Country or Homes Down Under. How many actually buy one of the properties shown ? That really is dreadful (and cheap to produce ) TV. The numerous channels are full of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dilbert Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Someone did ask Paddy why they didn't make a reverse show, with 30 men. His reply was pretty straightforward really, and that was because none of the men would ever turn their lights off, and certainly not turn off because of the shoes a woman was wearing. A slightly daft reply as there are live televised shows called rugby union - another three this w/e. I don't understand the popularity of some of these so-called 'reality' TV shows - it seems that there's a lot of voyeurism ongoing, so if there is a demand out there, it shouldn't be surprising that people from all walks of life, and for whatever reason, will apply to participate... dilbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I daresay any of the girls with a modicum of intelligence would claim their appearance on the show was ironic. Unless they were blithely honest and said it was to partake in a lottery for 5 minutes of sty TV infamy with a slim chance of winning a day out in the gold-digging seat. It's a demeaning format for both sexes, cattle market telly that IMHO shreds any credibility Paddy McGuinness may once have had (and that's debatable). Sadly, it's a format that, pretty much unscripted, is played out in all 835 Wetherspoons pubs twice weekly on Fridays and Saturdays, and it is that depressing fact that makes me despair of the courtship rituals of the era, informed as they are by a relentless superficial 'celebrity' chasing herd mentality.
