To feel that Jeremy Kyle should not recieve a NTA

Just seen that The Jeremy Kyle show has been nominated for a NTA. AIBU I suggest that this is the last thing the cocky, arrogant and jumped up man needs?
His whole show is purely about humiliating and taking advantage of obviously vulnerable people, in my eyes, he fuels the fire of the situations of his 'guests' and cashes in rather nicely on it.
I watched about 10 mins of his new show last week and me and DH could not believe how he was swanning around Magaluf like he was the most important thing since flushable toilets.
He really grates my shit.

I used to like him but I think he's a complete dick head now. Smug, arrogant, nasty, vile, rude, aggressive....the list goes on.

Baressentials · 15/01/2016 12:34

I agree. ~The man is scum. He is so far up his own backside he is licking his own intestines. He enjoys humiliating people. I try not to judge people but I judge anyone who watches his pile of shit.

Just seems that every year his nasty show is own, his nasty goblin head grows. Him getting a NTA is only going to inflate it more. How the hell is The Jeremy Kyle show still going?
I just can't get my head round it.
Maybe MNHQ could arrange a live webchat with the twat man. Just so we could go all MN on his ass gain an insight into it.

A Web chat with jk would be epic! I'd love to ask how he thinks mocking someone who is in a situation that he was in makes it OK? (E.g. a cheating lying addict)

x2boys · 15/01/2016 12:43

Yeah but he's not forcing people to go on his show or watch it I agree it's car crash TV and he doesn't really help his guests by humiliating them but he's not forcing anyone.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 15/01/2016 12:44

How the hell is The Jeremy Kyle show still going?

People still watch it, it's cheap telly to produce and it fills that slot.

I'm off work atm and do sometimes put it on while I get dressed .

He really does talk to and treat those people like shit off his shoe then hides behind his security, him getting an NTA would be a joke.

MitzyLeFrouf · 15/01/2016 12:51

He should receive a clip on the ear and a lifetime ban from our TV screens.

He's aggressive, he's smug, he's supercilious, he's like Alan Partridge's more twatty and egotistical cousin. And now I see some evening programme being advertised called The Kyle Files? I can't bear to find out what that's about.

notquitehuman · 15/01/2016 13:02

He's a horrible hypocrite. Last time I watched it there was a man with a gambling problem on the show. JK berated him, and the guest pointed out that JK had battled the same addiction. JK got very indignant and said it was years ago, but he has been papped several times in betting shops in recent years. Stop acting so high and mighty! Surely his experience could help people in a similar situation?

Although this is the man whose show is sponsored by a bingo site so not sure what I expect.

letsgetcake · 15/01/2016 13:03

A lot of people I know watch it in a mocking the programme way (and to mock him thinking he is hard until someone slightly stands up to him then he runs and hides )

nicolapompicola · 15/01/2016 13:28

I thoroughly believe that people only watch this pile of tripe so they can feel better about their own shoddy lives. In the way of "oh well, at least x, y or z hasn't happened to me"..

scribblegirl · 15/01/2016 13:31

MiL used to work with him back in the day and she says he's a right basrard in real life too Wink (and she has excellent judgment!)

scribblegirl · 15/01/2016 13:32

Basrard? Bastard obvs Hmm

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 15/01/2016 13:43

Ynbu. Op. And your very accurate description of the wanker took the words right out of my mouth. Screaming and shouting at people because he has his henchmen there to hold his hand.
He's a boring twunt anyway. He can't see past subjects such as infidelity and DNA tests. At least love him or loathe him Matthew Wright has different and interesting discussions each day, but some one voted for Jeremy Vile. They must be as boring as he is. Not only do they watch the shit. Which, is one thing, but. They also think. It's the best thing on TV. They must watch some other shit. If that's their favorite show, Jeeez

HelenaDove · 15/01/2016 14:02

So they are awarding hypocritical victim blaming misogynists now. Well if any famous actors/actresses/ presenters up for an award who object to this knob who are reading this may i respectfully suggest turning your award down Even better if you do it live on air

Thats what i would do because just the fact that he is nominated prove these awards mean fuck all!

The NTAs is that really tacky awards show on ITV isn't it? It's up there with the Soap Awards in terms of glamour and prestige.

PerspicaciaTick · 15/01/2016 15:44

I don't think that "they" have nominated him, aren't the NTAs voted for by viewers.
Which just goes to show that Kyle is popular enough with his viewers for the show to keep running and to get an NTA nomination.

ChristmasCabbage · 15/01/2016 15:48

The sort of people who watch and vote for the NTAs are those that are likely to watch Jeremy Kyle

Shallishanti · 15/01/2016 15:50

YANBU
another one who will be first up against the wall when the revolution comes

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 15/01/2016 16:12

Vote for someone else! Anyone else other than JK. He is the most repulsive character. Just one glimpse of his arrogant self satisfied slimy face, makes me want to heave.

There ar (some) good programmes to vote for. His isn't one of them.

Doublebubblebubble · 15/01/2016 16:21

mucho preferred Trisha

I hate him. I hate how he, a privately educated man dickhead affects a cockney accent. To make him sound down with the kids, I hate that he always feels the need to go on about how old he is and how he doesn't like/know how to use facebook. I hate how he "likes" one particular person in the problem family he is berating. I hate how "its called the Jeremy Kyle show" when someone is speaking over him. I hate when he calls it the "Kyle" show. He really is the ultimate bear bating twat of a man and I really hope he doesn't win. I agree it shouldn't have even got a nomination x

Owllady · 15/01/2016 16:26

I watched it this week Blush on accident and there was a family on who had a house fire when the boys were young. The boys (now men) were both badly burnt. Their mother had walked out, then one of the boys had died in childhood. They were all extremely upset and in my opinion, needed the help of a good therapist individually and most probably some family therapy. None of them seemed like bad people
It's exploitative :(

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 15/01/2016 16:30

Owl I watched that one, regardless of what happened he spoke to the Mother really dreadfully, she looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

Owllady · 15/01/2016 17:31

Yes, I thought it was quite obvious she hadn't been able to cope with the enormity of what happened and maybe she was weak, but I've had trauma in my life (lost a sibling v young and had a severely disabled child) when I was young, which they must have been as parents too as they didn't look very old now, and it takes all you strength to over come these things. I could understand how she may have struggled with what was happening, marriage broke down, New mother figure etc and with no confidence, which seemed likely, felt pushed out/uninvolved and the situation led to estrangement.
None of them seemed bad people :(

I don't think the majority of 'guests' are bad people. Its fairly obvious a lot of then have learning disabilities, possibly mental health issues and judging by a lot of their appearances and hygiene standards, they have never been taught proper life skills.
It worries me that Jeremy Kyle is able to so easily exploit these people, and be voted by morons viewers for a fucking award for it.
I've seen a few episodes over the years and its always makes me cringe, especially the ones that are supposedly raising awareness.
Makes my skin crawl when he flounces around on his Christmas ones throwing gifts at kids and carers etc.
