yanbu. totaaly agree.

(waves at sea)

scurryfunge · 22/08/2010 21:59

Absolute pish

Nemofish · 22/08/2010 22:01

YANBU it's shite and embarrassing.
I particularly dislike it when they yell things like 'show yourself, do summat.'

If you want a performing monkey go buy one you moron. (Not you sea, obviously!)

DiscoSquish · 22/08/2010 22:09

YANBU I can't stand the woman or her little orange sidekick whatsisname and buy yourself some decent moisturiser woman you look like a white prune with eyebrows

Mammie81 · 22/08/2010 22:13

She was awful and shrilly on Blue Peter too.

But Derek Acorah is worse. When he talks to Sam his spirit guide, I am reminded of Quantum Leap...

celebmum · 22/08/2010 22:15

YANBU.. that katie n alex thing was poo! can't believe i wasted 2hrs watching it... i couldn't turn it off!! Blush

(although the ghost huntimg with the dingles one was sooooo funny!! Grin

usualsuspect · 22/08/2010 22:16

Derek Acorah is funny to watch tho

potplant · 22/08/2010 22:22

I find it quite Hmm that they sacked Derek acorah for making stuff up.

LadyRabbit · 22/08/2010 22:57

YANBU. But I think it's blokes who really like her. My DH has a little crush on her, even though he denies it, but whenever he chances upon Yvette and her haunty show he suspends his disbelief and watches, rapt. I am personally mesmerised by her immovable hair, whatever style she happens to have it coiffed into. As it were.

She's nowhere near as annoying as that Sally Medium lady. She really bothers me for some reason.

edam · 22/08/2010 23:03

potplant, that's bizarre! Grin They employed him to make stuff up, which bit of it did they object to?

sheepgomeep · 22/08/2010 23:33

all those camera shots looking up thier own noses, they are so busy shrieking did you see that and screaming they forget to point the camera at the important bits ie the actual rooms they are supposed to be investigating.

That sally woman definately annoying, she irritates me as well

theslumbertaker · 22/08/2010 23:41

YABU!!! Completely.

i love it. yvette and derek made the best team. they were hilarious. i particularly loved derek's extremely far-fetched dialogues with his dead mate sam. yvette's hysterics made me pmsl every time.

how dare you mock them? quality tv IMHO Grin

pigletmania · 22/08/2010 23:48

Someone strangle her and that awful Derrek Acorah. What a load of bolloks, have never actually seen anything, just Yevette Fielding screaming, and shouting at ghosts like a derrenged idiot.

theslumbertaker · 23/08/2010 00:01

well of course you aren't going to see anything piglet. they are making a program about a load of complete bollocks?! that's why it is so funny. i think it is fantastic how incredibly earnest they try to be about the whole thing. i think yvette puts it on a bit, but she is truly scared and a bit suggestible really. derek on the other hand, is just an unscrupulous charlatan.

lazarusb · 23/08/2010 09:23

We have taken to calling moths 'orbs' these days. Cynical? Me?!!!

potplant · 23/08/2010 12:41

edam - I think that the story goes that they had started to suspect that Deggsy was only 'talking' and finding out stuff that they had already told him in the research notes. So they planted a few false stories to test him. He then came up with the same stories via his spirit guide so they sacked him. That's Yvette's side of the story anyway (I think so, it was ages ago).

Its a bit bizarre though cos obviously its all a load of old crap so its all made up?

When you see her interviewed, Yvette is very likeable.

TheCoalitionNeedsYou · 23/08/2010 12:45

It's a clever way of making money out of idiots. I don't activly dislike it as I've never seen it.

EarthMotherImNot · 23/08/2010 12:49

I watched a repeat of 3-in-a-bed yesterday and one of the guest houses had ghost hunting as part of the stay. Biscuit

They had the poor people up until silly-o-clock going "is there anybody there" into machines and got the reply "GET OUT"

I'd have ran for the hills and still been running if I'd had the misfortune to stay thereShock

lucky1979 · 23/08/2010 12:50

Pyschic Sally is definitely worse, she's a proper con artist.

potplant · 23/08/2010 13:39

theCoalition - idiots is a bit harsh. Vulnerable, gullible? I used to work with someone who lost his wife very suddenly. He was devasted and went to many people in order to try and contact her. He desperately wanted to say goodbye. He was no idiot just very vulnerable, desperate and grief stricken. Strangley though everyone single one who said they could speak to her he dismissed as a load of rubbish but he still carried on going.

Most Haunted isn't the manipultive side of the 'industry' though, its just a bit of entertainment.

Kaloki · 23/08/2010 13:41

I love it, makes me laugh so much Grin, when I'm not yelling at the TV

I love the dust particles spirit orbs especially, it's very cathartic yelling at the TV

TheCoalitionNeedsYou · 23/08/2010 15:20

No, idiot seems to me to be pretty accurate. Vulnerable, gullible idiots.

Pingasmith · 03/11/2024 14:51

Yvette shielding is such a bimbo and moron. I laugh at her openly! She really sucks as a paranormal investigator.
