I don't like his show

it feels exploitative to me

I can't watch when he literally forces those ladies to stand around in minging underwear, crying

it's bloody awful, and I wish he would go away

and why is "everybody" beautiful ? Everybody is not beautiful and making them strut down a catwalk to about 5 disinterested shoppers, fake cheers and an embarassed husband is tantamount to bullying

did I mention I don't like his show ?

he is nob.

Stop making people chat to you while in their underwear, man!

He's quite nice and watchable though.

Top Questions of Concern:

  1. Why exactly do the ladies need to go bare naked and lounge uncomfortable in a shop window?


  1. Why do they need to go down a catwalk in underwear and, even worse, then drop a bathrobe so we can see their bare bottoms?


I really don't think that helps much.

But you can't deny that the women do seem to have a massive increase in self confidence after being on his show.

I have heard he's a twat in RL but he seems so lovely!

yes, i bet he does a program involving burlesque at some poing

also, he used to talk about 'your rack', meaning breats. That is the worst term I have heard. Very depersonalised and harsh.

rack makes me laugh. it doesn't make any sense

lol re burlesque.

I think if the women were just given a new wardrobe and a make-over, that would be enough to boost the confidence, without all that hanging about in teh buff nonsense.

I agree with pointy, why is going naked in public (and notice how its always a woman gong naked) empowering in any way?

well you're not being unreasonable but you are being a bit of a twat

is it really liberating for someone to say 'you want to jiggle those bad boys around, don't you? Look at them go!' (I paraphrase slightly). I think his language can be fairly anti-women,

Ooh, what have you heard about him in RL?

I quite like him, but think the show has got a bit silly. Know someone who's sister went on that show and a lot of it is contrived (obv) e.g. they make them look a lot worse than they really are at the beginning.
