I think i've watched this show less than ten times. This morning was one of those times.

There was a woman who had three potential fathers to her child, and had attacked one of the men for being a bad dad - turns out he wasn't even the dad.

There was a feckless father boasting JK pays for his drugs.

Guests laugh along when JK mocks them - making them look daft.

Guests don't seem to take any pride in their personal appearance.

They all shout and scream like children, despite them having children themselves.

I hate JK, but I hate the attitudes and lifestyles of the majority of his guests even more.

Only watched it this morning because I couldn't find the remote.

As much as people say that people like this are in the minority, JK has been running for over five years, five days a week, with at least two new guests per show.

That awkward moment when you bump into someone you recognise of Jeremy Kyle at parents evening...

Years and years ago I watched it while BF DD1 and it showed a young vulnerable woman, quiet and seemingly naive - perhaps mild learning difficulties - sitting next to her much older 'boyfriend.' the premis of the show was that she had had 'an affair' with this man's son.

Turns out she had had sex with the son while her 'boyfriend' was downstairs, knowing what was going on. And it seemed that he didn't mind. Now this gi was pregnant. Who's the father? Let's a rub our hands with glee etc etc

And I wondered if there had been any thought to what protection this girl may need. Any thought that perhaps she was vulnerable and bring abused by these men . Whether the authorities had been involved. Or whether some researcher had just thought 'fuck, it' and put them on stage, for some ritual victim blaming.

I cannot stand the UK version but for some reason I like the US one.

The US one they are so suprised when he isn't nice and polite. My favorite was

JK: Is it true you pointed a gun at X
Guest: No, I pointed the gun at the cop

Just came across this thread, but this photo of JK probably tells you all you need to know about the self important, hypocritical turd of a man.
